I know it's with rollout, but 2.6 is wild

Shouldn't surprise anyone as to why Tesla chases 0-60 times with the Model S. The CS is about so much more than 0-60, but the 0-60 times and the Youtube drag races videos are absolutely the reason the car went from "readily available at MSRP" to "huge mark-up rarity" so quickly.

Kind of good comparison between M8 Competition and M5 CS:

Obviously there have been over the the top US reviews in some case, but generally its been tepid like this C&D article. Jethro Bovington from Evo/Top Gear USA pointed this out on twitter as well. It would be good to hear from some M5 CS owners on why this may be the case, what is getting lost in translation and why some US mags don't see such a big difference between the M5C and the CS. |

I am still waiting for a detailed review of the M5 CS by actual owners on this board

Personally, I love my F90 and can't say a single bad thing about it since it's "perfect" as a car. I don't want an imperfect car for the sake of creating some buzzword nonsense about emotion. Some reviewers seem to lean heavily on cars with "character flaws" as being a personality, i.e. Hellcats with traction issues are rowdy and fun even though they don't get anywhere burning rubber. Or the CT5VBW bringing a manual transmission (and look past the dowdy interior on a $80-100k car). I've had Porsches that were considered God's gift to men and I genuinely loved driving them BUT I feel the F90 is much more well rounded at half the price! |

But i also know as an M2 CS owner why people may have sold their cars or why people might say its nothing special (its quiet, the engine note isn't super special, unless you are pushing it, it can feel ordinary, clutch is overly light, etc etc ). I can give an objective review of the car as an owner after 3000+ miles. Would be good to get an M5 CS owner to do something similar, cause i don't think there is a review like that. I do remember Dale Dallas Quaife (who had bought one in the UK) posted to instagram that he sold his and alluded that it didn't meet what he needed. |

Although they didn't talk about it in the text, they did call out the fact that the CT5-V Blackwing exists (albeit in minuscule quantities) as a demerit. I'm not sure whether they're suggesting it's a superior car -- comparo would be great -- or just the fact that it offers a stick. (Hate Cadillac all you want, but I give them credit for doing this in 2022.)

2.6? That's some awesome engineering. Faster than some super cars. I remember when 12s in 1/4 was considered fast.

Thats crazy that you can get a mid 10 sec stock car. I had to throw a supercharger and FBO on my w204 to get close to those times. Just insane to see how fast cars have become.

The BMW M5 CS — with Randy Pobst at the wheel — set the lap record at Willow Springs International Raceway, with a time of 1:28.76. However, that record only stood for a few minutes, as Pobst then immediately beat the M5 CS’ record with the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, with a lap of 1:28.07. And it did it with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Looks like we’ve got a proper rivalry on our hands. |

I've driven a Panamera Turbo and it was much better than anything BMW has done lately in that department, so I'm sure it's possible. |
