Yeah, thankfully F85 pointed that out also. I've been a little slow today...

I went with 991.2 and have ZERO regrets. I see where they are going with the gold but Porsche just does it better imo. Never thought I'd have gold wheels, but #ilovegoooooooooooold
The 992 is already making headlines. The upper tier models (GTS, Turbo, GT3) are going to be a problem. You got some good choices nonetheless. Good luck

Indeed. M5 ClubSport. I don't get it. For those who even take their M5 to the track once complain how quickly it eats tires. Literally no one will use a 5-series anything as a track focused vehicle.

In essence. I realize it isn't keeping in with the dna of the badge, but is anyone really planning on using their M5 as that focused of a track car? Aside from a small group of people on this board I would think the M5 CS would alienate more buyers than it would attract. Regardless of how well reviewed or received it is by a majority of the car world, I don't see a large number of people with the budget for the car who would be willing to spend the money if they take away a majority of the convenience features.

I don't personally get it. Why buy an M5 CS? A CS basically has to be a dedicated track car and if you're dropping $150k why would you get an M5 with 4 doors and seat weight and higher COG over an M8 which is the same but better suited for the job?
Oh. Yeah. Leasers ans middle easterns are idiots |

As for the comment about folks from the Middle East, I'm guessing you're used to being called racist by now.

Anyone right of Bernie is racist or Russian spy these days. Yikes. anyway not interested in politics. Glad you are having fun in the CS but why in the world would you spend the money on weight reduction and reduced comfort in a daily car when literally every version of the 2 series would be better at the job. Without a track you'll literally never use any of the extra even fits you're paying for? |

2) I find the car extremely comfortable. I don't miss the center armrest, but I do miss the Comfort Access. 3) I do have local tracks and have already been out in the track with the CS. It's phenomenal right out of the box. Just put Cup 2s on and can't wait to see how it handles now.

Well you could ask the question of the M5 in general. Why get the M5 when the M2 might be better suited for the track, the regular 5’s are enough power, and no one “needs” a 600hp car for daily driving?
People get these cars for many reasons as these forums show. Exclusivity, drag racing, M pedigree etc. Bmw obviously believes there is demand for the model and what it offers. |

I went M3 to M5 and very rarely go over 4,000 rpm Typical comparison is M5, E63, RS6 - each the top of their respective range. |
