Pro Racer's Take: 2019 BMW M4 CS

[ccar]

My 2015 F80 M3 was so Good that I went and bought the 2016 M3 for my partner. This car is simply fantastic. The suspension was perfectly tuned from the factory, and using it on the track was a pure pleasure in the way it absorbed the apex bumps without unsettling the car. I track at Mission Raceway, The Ridge, Pacific, and Area 27. With a knowledge of how to apply power properly (it is NOT an "on-off" switch), this car responds exactly how you want it too, so that there is plenty of power when you need it, and if you don't, just simply don't apply as much.This makes balancing understeer with a touch, allowing you to transition to oversteer if you like. A perfect track car, and you can drive it home without a trailer, as well as use it on the school run, as it has 4 doors! Both of my M3s are a pleasure to drive on a daily basis. Pure luxury and pure performance.... to say nothing of its good looks! This is a driver's car. Nothing less.

Very refreshing to see a review without theatrics or emotive statements, just the technical information that lets you make up you own mind about the car. 10/10

[niosanfrancisco]

Best reviewer out there. Right to the point

[jurajhrivnak]

Funny how you steer the car with your whole upper body :D Never saw a racer do that. However, very nice lap.

I’m really enjoying these vids! Great job. Only sorry it took me so long to find this great content.

How does this channel not have more subscribers?

A twin power turbo usually refers to a twin scroll turbo. The s55 has true twin turbos

Good one Andy, let me know if you want to take the M2C around to compare.

I stopped watching car videos after getting my e92 M3 but I just cant stop on new Ms!!!

[AutoPOVDrive]

Nice video! A lot of adrenaline! We love car driving as well!

[corvette]

It would be cool to see you hot lap a C7 corvette grand sport!!!

[Clausewitz]

Nice vid. Does this car has a gasoline particulate filter?

[yahtadi]

Im sorry that i just found out this channel

[johnnyr]

I'm sorry to be the person that asks, but why shouldn't a person get a 911, a C8 Corvette, GT-R, etcetera instead of this at this price?

While I am sure BMW has improved things some from 2016, my 16' M3 was HORRIBLE!!!! I will give it some credit, the drivetrain (with the DCT) was amazing and it is very quick, but everything else performance wise fell apart when you got over 7/10ths with it. The rebound damping was hideous (so much so that I added Ohlin R/T coilovers on it to make It behave the way it should have from the factory), the traction/stability control system was WAY over zealous and fought you every step of the way (even in MDM Mode). With the exception of brand new extreme performance tires, it struggled for traction, and not sure if common, but on mine with the standard steel brakes, the rotor/pad material did not mesh well and you would get pad deposits and vibrations after about 500 miles. Had the rotors/pads replaced 4 times under warranty. The worst 3 year lease ownership I have ever

Fast forward and I now have had my 2SS 1LE for 2 years and it it everything I was expecting the M3 to be, but wasn't. They have switched roles... The F80/82 is more motor than the chassis can handle and the shock damping sucks. The SS 1LE is a track monster and is very well balanced, controlled, and has a traction/stability control system that its cohesive and works with you. The brakes are top notch too. It is a complete, balanced package that is a true sports car, for half the cost.

While some point out the interior, blah, blah, blah. I had the standard M3 interior, not the extended leather option and in 2SS trim, the SS 1LE is every bit as nice, with the exceptions of a few carbon pieces. The cabin in the SS 1LE after 2 years is quieter than my M3 was after only 6 mths. The M3 rattled and squeaked awfully from all 4 door seals.

Would much rather have the smaller M2 Comp with a manual over this thing

He wanted to say the most annoying exhaust but he caught himself

[cardonman]

No body makes Coo-Coo clocks like the Germans! Tesla Model 3 is stealth on wheels...more like the iPhone 21. 😊😇😂

[brandonhodnett]

Camaro SS 1LE is faster at half the price! If I was going to blow 100 grand I’d get a loaded ZO6 which blows the doors off this. Germany is getting it’s lunch eaten by GM when it comes to performance. For less money at that!

[iheartwatches]

All that carbon, all the power yet SLOWER THAN SUPRA (b58 haha)!!!
