Are you blind or are you a stupid kid who cannot read? Where am I bashing on the base M5 or M5 Comp?

Your response to my comment regarding the Blackwing being quicker around that particular track was stating the obvious and reposting a video already posted in this thread. You suggest the car to be a 'slightly' tweaked M5 Comp and while being good is not worth the extra outlay. Like everyone else here, you are entitled to your opinion. And it is just that...YOUR opinion.

But if you have actually spent quantifiable time with the CS - and this is a genuine question because I always appreciate raw real-life experiences - then kindly enlighten me on your time with the car. For example, how is it the 'full electric seats are uncomfortable'? I presume it is because you have not only sat in them but taken a drive and can therefore give your honest opinion of said claim. Or are your opinions baseless?

At this point, I would rather take an honest reviewers opinion who has spent more than a day with the car than some guy on the internet.
Or maybe I'm just a stupid kid who cannot read..

an M5 comp has more upgrades compared to an M5, than an M5 CS compared to M5 comp.

Again, kindly enlighten me with the data for such a claim. I will gladly appreciate it.

I don't understand why M8 Grand Coupe is faster than M5 Competition. Both have same engine and M5 is supposed to be 100kg lighter. So should be faster ?!

Looks like the M5C was just sick in this test over 12s in the 1/4 mile is an indication. Just one of those CW tests.

I don’t know why you even bother. You really shouldn’t.

Not much of a review, but beautiful videography. CS looks exquisite.

CS looks brilliant in normal BHG. I have seen a Frozen BHG, it is not a good look. Makes me wonder how amazing a non frozen Deep Green would have been.

2022 BMW M5 CS Review: Just What the Real M Fans Ordered

BMW still makes iconic performance cars. They just go by "CS" now.

www.thedrive.com

"In summation, the M5 CS is a car that retains most of the regular M5's livability but is several magnitudes more exciting to pilot. Unquestionably sharper but simultaneously more graceful on a backroad, this is a BMW M5, unfiltered. While the Competition version behaves like a butler, obediently but passionlessly serving up speed when it's requested, the CS has a bit of an agenda of its own. It doesn't just serve, it goads you on."

I don’t envy the guys working on the G80 M3CS and G82 M4CSL they have a lot to live up to ….the M2CS and M5CS have been sensational.

CS, even a simple lane change is "tactile" and rewarding. Comp is numb by comparison.

Quite the contrary for me. There are obviously some people at M who really know what they are doing and given the opportunity and budget, will likely continue to roll-out 'special' versions. What I wouldn't give to be a part of or at least witness from R&D to final product. It's just a shame we have to pay heap loads more for what used to be the norm 20-25 years ago. The E39 M5 was brilliant right out the bat...but it's the times we live in now. AMG have their Black Series variants which tend to be quite spectacular on road and track.
