Reading through this thread was amazing, hah.
We should be thankful and grateful for the privilege to own any M5. If you're buying a brand new loaded LCI Comp (in the US anyway), then you've got the coin to purchase a CS all the same. You're already an enthusiast to even own a car like this with all of the options available at this price point, to imply otherwise is pedantic. Choose whichever one fits your situation the best. I personally chose the Comp because it's my daily, want the extra creature comforts like advanced active cruise, massaging seats, 360 camera, etc (that I use literally ALL the time). If the CS is more what you're looking for...then choose that! It's an excellent vehicle. The difference on paper between the two is so miniscule, nobody can push either car hard enough on public roads and as someone with a lot of track experience - I couldn't push my Comp hard enough to set records, let alone push the even more bananas CS to try the same. Point being that most drivers couldn't drive the CS hard enough to break records set by the base M5 (which is also great). Enjoy your sweet rides for the reasons you chose them and call it a day.

That wasn't your point at all. You took the opinions of posts from this thread, attempted to invalidate them with your "facts"

That was exactly my point. They are all very close to one another as I said. You seem to think that they built a brand new car just for the CS. I don't know why you keep getting stuck on that point. CS has tiny tweaks over the other two and is marginally better on the race track. Majority fo the difference is in the way it looks (carbon fiber) with TINNNYYY tweaks in other areas with the majotiry of the performance coming from much better stock tires.

You interpreted my impressions of the car as if I took some sort of truth and shoved it down your throat. I don't understand why you take these reviews of the M5CS so personally and find the need to justify that what you believe trumps everyone else's Enjoy your car and let others enjoy theirs; instead of trying to bash and invalidate other peoples opinion

I am literally including all M5s here (including mine) but you seem to take offense to that. You seem like a snobby person who doesn't want a CS included with the rest of the M5s, which is why I'm saying you sound like they built a new platform just for the CS. Relax, they are all F90s, give or take a few minor tweaks. For some reason including the CS with the rest of the M5s set you off. |

I don't believe any of my posts or responses had implied that what you accuse me of. None of my responses spoke negatively of the other M5 models, but simply expressed my experience with driving both. Regardless, I can't stop you from continuing to shit on people's attempt to share their experience for your own benefit

If you watch to "The Straight Pipes" review, they even recommend the M5/M5C over the CS due to the removal of features. I take all of these reviews with a grain of salt. I fully ackowledge that the CS is the better track car, but it's not a night and day difference and the main contributer are the tires. My point was, BMW already had the M8 dampers on the M5C. If a reviewer does not know that and raves about that specific feature on the newer car, it just tells me that they went into the review with their mind made up before it even started. Anyway, this is my last response here and I'll leave this thread alone. It wasn't BASHING the CS, but moreso putting light to the fact that all F90s share 98% of the genes. |

I have a pre-facelift M5C version but with id7 (03.2020 production date ) and since i have made the last ilevel (07.21) the ride quality got better . The adaptive dampers had firmware update , and ar first i didn't know about that . After i drove the car after the update , i felt the difference but i thought that maybe is just a placebo . After 2 days of driving the car and noticing the differences , i had called the dealer and they confirmed that the dampers had been updated .

I could list a dozen features I expect from my daily at this price point that the Comp has that the CS doesn't...but that doesn't make the CS any less awesome a vehicle. It also doesn't mean the CS is automatically the "better" car, enjoy the shit out of those handling improvements, more power to you, while I enjoy the shit out of my car giving me a full body massage and driving itself (doesn't even need hands on the wheel) when I'm exhausted on my way back from a 3 hour drive to a hike. We can tit and tat over why each is the better choice or we can understand we've got a sweet ass platform to enjoy in the final days of the raw ultimate evolution of the ICE era and give the waive when we see each other on the road. I waive...that my pants are also down is besides the point.

Yes, I agree with you: Both the M5 Comp and M5 CS are great cars. No need for any more arguing on this thread.

The main difference between the M5 CS and M5C seems to be the handling 'recalibration' ignoring the carbonising and bronze/gold detailing.
The weight difference is really <50kg given specifying ceramics and lightweight Y spoke gives 21kg saving on the M5C. So carbon bonnet, removal of kit/storage/sound deadening and carbon seats account for the other 50kg. The height difference is only 1mm between M5CS and M5C - it probably sits 7mm lower due to the splitter or comparison to standard m5. The engine mounting are also the same 900nm/d stiffness. The M5C and M5 CS have the M8 shocks carried over along with setup experience. for laptimes ...

Good review, but it didn't address a key difference between the two : Exclusivity.
The CS is first for the M5, only a 1 year production run, and could very well be the last great ICE M5, before it becomes PHEV and eventually EV. So it could end up being a "halo" model in the M5 history, and even more personable long-term for someone who chooses to spend that price diff. Btw that diff is much less here in US between M5C and M5CS. Even if someone doesn't want to keep it long-term, given the way this secondary market is going it could very well fetch a handsome premium within the next year or two. |

this thread is hilarious. People still think the CS is some sort of track car. LMAO Complaining about lack of "creature comforts" This is exactly how you can tell whose been in, driven, or owned a true track vehicle. |

I dislike many of the "creature comforts" Im happy to shed the weight, notice how all the customcars on those Tv shows are built without all the new tech, some people like simplicity. Id love a car with no electronic gauges, a decent sound system reduced insulation, lightweight seats, no radar cruise etc etc. the CS is a lot of this, its a bargain compared to what rest of world pays for same car

Great review. I agree that the M5 to have is the comp. M5s should be usable sedans and feel special inside and out. No boy racer seats for me, thanks.
