Matt (the big guy if that’s not his name) doesn’t like the seats . That’s a gamble I think we’ve all decided to take. I might hate them too….
As I’ve said before, would love to get the 5 Blackwing but just don’t have the garage space. For a non daily, I’d pick the CS over the BW, at least based off my off hands experiences and biases. |

For anyone who might care about such things ...
As some may recall I had a 19 M5C, and at that time it was my favorite sedan of all time and I enjoyed it a lot more than the 18 E63S that preceded it. I will however tell you that my current 5BW is a much more enjoyable and engaging car to drive than the M5C was, and even if the M5CS were twice as fun as my M5C, it still wouldn't be half as fun as the 5BW. Because of electrics straight line speed has been democratized to the degree that a 3sec car isn't a special thing any more. Heck in a few years a Camry with four electric motors will be a 3sec car. So that means very little to me. And I'm not looking to track a sedan, I have other more appropriate cars for that. So on a daily basis rowing through the gears of a 650+ hp/tq RWD car on the way to Trader Joe's and back is insanely gratifying ... sometimes in comfort mode sometimes in '2008 CLK BS TC off car wants to kill me' mode. Plus it saddens me how muted the CS exhaust sounds compared to my 19 M5C, and with back problems the seat is an issue for me in daily driving. Honestly, I'd pick the 5BW over the M5CS even if the prices were the other way around. Again, I loved my M5C, but imagine the hysteria if BMW had done a 'purist' manual M5C ... you'd be looking at GT3 Touring level markups because of the insane demand. Congrats to those who got a CS allocation, it is obviously an epic sedan, just not the one I wanted.

I am a true Bmw fan. I have been so a very long time. I would never buy a Cadillac from my own reasons. as nice as the M5 CS is…. I wouldn't buy one either just because I don't like the way it looks.

The seats are amazing in my M5CS.
I love them. We also just got a G83 with CF seats .. love! Most engaging M car since E46. And have had many M cars.. It actually sounds really good stock especially with the top down. I would pick it over a carrera 4s - and much better price point. I am super impressed.

I feel the same way, looks wise, with regard to not being interested in Cadillac or Mercedes. Personal preferences but not a fan of either. I think the Cadi looks much better than say the E63S though.
