Samantha Tan for some inesplicable reason got a CSL, and she really didn’t transfer any particular excitement: https://youtu.be/OLIT7DHLHrU?si=PxBCREDHW9vP7YBS

Well to be fair, it’s a serious problem for anyone that has kids or a father who asks that you pick him up a milkshake before you come and visit. It’s ridiculous and something prospective owners should be aware.

Considering the weight of the last BMWs, the intention is not to having the customers gaining pounds. No milkshake, better performances

She said she loved it. I wish they gave me one of these!

It would be awesome if M was serious about the CSL for the masses. Imagine an M2 with a manual transmission, 550 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, no rear seats, other weight reductions, CCB’s, and amazing bucket seats. And a cupholder

I was wondering if that was her.I remember she posted that she still preferred the 1M after she also took delivery of the M2 CS.

They're LEDs, you should be able to select the color in idrive just like the interior.
If they somehow could allow this, that would be amazing

I'm really liking the colors for the special releases. I just wish the dealership I go to would order more cars other than black, gray and white.

For a race car driver, it’s odd how she’s extended the steering wheel that far out and so close to her body in this video (at least the early part; not watching the whole thing). Hardly seems like the wrist over 12 o’clock distance with a slight bend.

But what do I know (humbly), I’m not a pro race car driver. So I may be missing something.

To be fair, this now makes two straight CS releases with the individual non-frozen color being a Porsche color. This wasn’t the case with the F80 CS or F87 CS. Personally, I wonder if BMW is just getting a little lazy. The upcoming F90/99 will not have any new/unique colors, which is a first for an M5 release AFAIK.

We didn't complain because they were "yellow" we complained because the headlights were xenon white, and the halos were way too dim and halogen colored. Just wanted them to match. If they were "yellow" and bright like these it would have been a different story

It's like back in the day, having black plastic trim was considered uncool and the mark of a "base mode"l car. Manufacturers charged extra for body-colored trim. Now, you pay extra for "shadowline trim" since everyone wants their car "murdered out". Except this doesn't apply to window switches for some odd reason, as buyers evidently want silver-painted "galvanic controls". I've given up trying to understand automotive trends.

I struggle to see why this CS should be sold over MSRP.
