Seems brilliant, just like the M2 CS, it rides better than the Competition.

Thanks for sharing! It would be good to get some side-side comparisons with the M5C on the track.

The bronze bits look like they're not going to age well.

The reviewer did not talk about the bucket seats, I wonder how he liked them?

vladberca · 05-21-2021, 06:02 PM

I'm sure we'll see more in the next days

DocWeatherington · 05-22-2021, 05:50 AM

Thanks for the post... pretty positive

Did the LCI M5, not receive the M8 Dampers he keeps mentioning ?. And also the later ZF8HP 76 Gearbox, with the better M8 Software ?.

I know the LCI has the M8 dampers. I am not sure about the other stuff.

So does the paint come in Matte or Glossy? The matte version looks so much better though

Both, for Brands Hatch.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs on the track.

Mines arrived at dealer so I'll let you know! Looking forward to testing her out.

as in drag strip, or course?

I'm urgently waiting to get the CS onto the 1/4.

I just did some runs with my fathers non comp M5 (with Pzeros since everyone likes to bitch about them) and still ran an 11.1

The M5 carries Signal Green really well!

The dampers came with the LCI, the ZF8HP76 came already before the LCI (as from 09/19).

I don't know. This is not a review to me really, just a sum of M5 CS changes vs the standard car. All these facts were probably gathered from this very board...

Looking forward to an actual review in the future
