Check out the first BMW M4 CS Reviews

BMW gave select automotive journalists the keys to the M4 CS fleet and the first thoughts about the car has started to arrive. They were given the chance to drive the car in the Nurburgring during the M Corso event and also in the streets of Nurburg. According to these BMW M4 CS reviews, it is a great car to drive.

The BMW M4 CS is positioned in the middle of the M4 Competition Package and M4 GTS, therefor filling a niche in the lineup of M cars. It is a good blend of the M4 GTS performance and the standard M4 Competition Package’s everyday usability. Honestly, it also feels better than both of the cars mentioned.

It is powered by a S55 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged I6 engine variant that delivers 460 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque. The extra power is created via tuning and not with water-injection like on the M4 GTS. While the M4 Comp Pack is available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed DCT, the M4 CS is only available with the DCT.

Top Gear says “Very, very well,” praising its athletic capabilities, body control and the rumbles of the sports exhaust: ” The best M4 yet? Probably. It’s the sweet spot in the range, and whatever you think of the price, BMW won’t have any problem selling every single one made between now and 2019. It’s a useable four-seater with a light dusting of track-nutter magic. It’s brilliant.”

Autocar saw the difference between the regular M4 with Competition Package, the great engineering, and the exhaust note: “The M4 CS’ engine makes a sizeable improvement to the real-world performance of the even the M4 Competition mostly by matching the peak torque of the GTS – 442lb ft – without the need for that water injection system. Amazingly, the engine’s internals are the same as those of the Competition Package car but its software management is new and simply works its twin monoscroll turbos harder at middling revs. Stereo aside, it’s also much better to listen to than a ‘normal’ M4. The car’s quad exhaust system is the same as the one on the M4 Competition but, shorn of some sound deadening and with the CS’s new engine management in play (and a redline extended to 7600rpm) the CS sounds much more gritty and real than a standard M4.”

Car Advice says that this is “the enthusiast M4. A driver’s car. More impressively is how planted and stable the car felt at speed. The standard Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 tyres offer tremendous grip on a dry surface, but by their soft nature also help to manage the overall comfort and compliant nature of the ride.”

Well these BMW M4 CS reviews aren’t bad at all. It just seems to highlight that this car is what we expected it to be, and even more.
