This is how I feel. It is great for the BMW brand and that makes me happy!

Last year the ECotY live stream was funny, as all the magazine readers said the winner in the live chat and everyone goes "no you are wrong, and it hasn't happened yet" |

Damn I want an M5CS. What a beautiful, incredible machine. The M3 is a great car, but I'm sure they couldn't put anything with such an ugly front end in the top 3.

I absolutely need car seats for my personal car so that automatically rules out the CS for me. I wish they had made it an option to have regular seats in the rear, as well as other color choices besides frozen paints and only gray as the non frozen choice. The CS would be perfect if I already had 2 family friendly cars, but then I'd probably be looking at dedicated sports cars at that point. The non CS M5s are perfect for being car seat friendly and having the best performance of basically all cars in that category. I mean you still have basically 98% of the performance, but if you're like me and are OCD about having the highest trim it does bother you at times lol. |

BMW M rolled a seven with the E39 M5 and sent every home as class was dismissed. BMW M rolls another seven with the E82 1M.
Ten years later BMW M rolls another damn seven with the M2 CS and then immediately does it again with the F90 M5 CS. Somewhere deep in Munich and Garching there are people that are keeping the fires burning brightly. |

In hindsight maybe I should have taken the allocation and then did a rear bench conversion lol. Would have been cheaper than retrofitting some of these CS parts that I'm currently doing. |

Who gives a shit between 0-60 in 2.6 vs 2.7 vs 3.0. If that's what one cares about; one has clearly missed what the CS brings to the table vs. the Competition.

This is a massively good video & having 2 BMW cars in the lineup is a true testament to what the M group is currently building!

tbh i quite doubt that the M5 CS is a better car then the competitors in this video
No chance with the cost saving ZF trasmission And why that ugly green thing is in this finale? |

Oh man. evo magazine is going to be so upset when they read your response. I wonder if they'll have to reissue the magazine and take down this video after reading your comment.

The CS may seem to the outsider as just another highest trim of the M5, the video (I love EVO and think it’s definitely one of the better auto journals out there) posits that the experience is on a different level. Just because if looks very similar to a non CS model, it’s drives very differently. That’s hard to confirm unless one has driven both CS and non CS M5s. Can’t wait to get mine and compare.

Joe Achilles Instagram post about the Evo car of the year was re-posted by the BMW M site.
I like Joe but this will continue the narrative that he is just a BMW fan boy....like all of us.

Hopefully some of the components and software that make the CS such an amazing drivers car will trickle down to the Comp.

That would only be a problem for a motor journalist which has for main job to be completely objective in his write ups / reviews, but that's not what he pretends to be. The guy has always been a BMW fan boy, says so himself, why can't he just be free to like whatever he wants and make videos ? I think he likes BMWs for most of the same reasons we do and we can relate to his opinions in a lot of the things he's testing because of this too. But i'm getting carried away off topic

In the first part of my post I replied to the OP regarding the EVO video, and in the second part of my post, I simply mentioned what was noted in the recent Car and Driver article. The 0-60 times are mentioned in the latter, not the former. |
