The new BMW M4 CS occupies the middle ground between the standard M4 and the M4 GTS. But can some exotic weight-saving parts and a slight uplift in power to 454bhp justify a near-£90,000 price tag? Subscribe now: smarturl.it/autocar
We take a closer look at the M4 CS on the UK's roads to find out whether it's the pick of BMW's M4 range.

King of what? It gets beaten by almost literally everything else in its class.

@drdj69 7 жыл бұрын

everything else? go watch how awful the new RS5 is. go watch the problems with the Guilia , literally stops while driving. c63s is good, lovely engine n sound , but its 300kgs heavier and steering is numb. to answer your question M4 is king on track and a great everyday as well.

@vernonprice5986 7 жыл бұрын

+drdj69 - "go watch the problems with the Guilia" You clearly don't understand what "get beaten" means. The Giulia easily outperforms the M4 REGARDLESS of whatever problems you think it has, This is an established fact and it's not up for debate. The C63s is also faster than the M4, and the Cadillac ATS-V beats the M4 every time they're put head to head against each other. "to answer your question M4 is king on track and a great everyday as well." Except it isn't, as proven by recorded lap times, and it's not as good "everyday" as most of the other cars in its class either.

@stefanfreestylez 6 жыл бұрын

When the m4 came out nobody bitched a dam thing about it. Now these "experts" saying o the original was crap comp is soooo much better. The avg m4 owmer wont track it and wont push it to its limit even if they do track it. That accounts for like 1% of buyers that actually will try and do that. The car is id say a lil dissapointing with steering feel(avg person wontnotice it) and the sound is prr crappy.

My 2015 M4 cost me around 54,336 (in British Pound Currency) with 425HP, so to me is way too much the difference between the two. I rather step-up mine to about the same 454HP, which will require less money in doing so. If I had that kind of money to spend it on a car, I would probably get something way much better than an M4 CS...

@alexmartinez280 4 жыл бұрын

The peak power bump is a small part of the whole package. It was a package that really cured all of the short comings of the standard car. I do agree that in a better world with time to properly engineer and develops the car it should have be closer to this from the gate than the version that was offered.

Here in the states the price difference between an m4 and a comp pack one is so small you'd be a moron to buy a normal m4. I've seen more comp pack m4s going for less than the normal m4 because of the ridiculous options. Really surprised they didn't discontinue the normal model
