The success of the M2 CS and M5 CS appears to be rewriting history and recalibrating people's opinion of the CS badge. Also perhaps reflecting a trend in motoring journos to prefer some everyday drivability along with track focused design.
Also interesting the F80 M3 CS never got the love it deserved in general. The M2CS is an awesome car but it's small. The M5CS is awesome car but it's big. The M3 CS fills the sweet spot right in the middle.
I loved the F8x - had a F80 for 6 years. However my suspicion of the success of the M2 CS and M5 CS is that they were built on already very well received base M cars - the same could not be said about the F80 CS. That said, with the G80x coming 4 in EVO's COTY imagine the momentum the G80 M3 CS will have going into 2023/4.
