Thanks for posting this. I especially liked the part where one of the reviewers said, “Everything it does…it does, not just a little bit better than an M5 competition, not just quite a bit better than an M5 competition, but massively better.”
I myself have not driven an M5 competition, but I can compare the CS to my ‘18 base M5 First Edition, and the CS blows the base M5 out of the water.
Car and Driver was able to get a CS from 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, and a quarter mile time of 10.5 seconds. To compare, I believe the 0-60 time for an M5 comp was 2.7 seconds (also ridiculously fast), with a quarter mile time of 10.8 seconds.
Here’s the link to the Car and Driver article. I think it says the CS is not any faster to 60mph than an M5 comp, but it clearly lists the CS as 0.1 seconds faster, so not sure if the “isn’t any faster” is an oversight?
