Don't forget removed sound insulation material for additional weight savings.

I have to say the CS does not make sense to me. Compared to the Comp it has reduced utility (no fold down rear seats, only 4 seats vs. 5, no self driving, no center console storage) and reduced comfort (no upgraded stereo, increased road noise from removed sound insulation, no massage seats, no ventilated seats).

The M5 Comp is a great road trip and long distance cruising car. The CS takes away much of what contributes to that utility. At the same time, the CS does not make sense as a dedicated track car.

I suppose the CS works as a daily commuter for shorter commutes, say 30 to 45 minutes, with occasional family hauling for weekend errands.

The CS would have much broader appeal if BMW had left in all the stuff that makes the Comp such a great cruiser while adding another level of performance.
