With all the tech and tuning today, one can easily buy normal X drive and get it to the level of the CS and beyond; I just wanted the actual car as when I sell it I like to see some value held even though M3X's are solid at the auction still to this day.

From videos that Ive watched, its basically a useless rear with the seats unless small children are going in. No different than our Coupes.

The cabin is spacious for 2. There's a bit more shelf/bench in back compared to the old SLs without rear seats.

Where's the dash?
Those horrible Etch A Sketch screens just look unfinished! I see some manufacturers are sticking to a gauge cluster with a cover on them. BRAVO !! Screens are fine but not just stuck to the dash the way they do it in many makes now. As soon as I see these un-covered screens I loose interest in the vehicle instantly. For me, no dash ='s no sale! |

Yes but its not the first time or the last probably
I had a 2020 M8 GC and a 2021 M3Comp and then a 2022 M3X and a 2023 M8 Coupe and now the M3 CS. Two completely different animals--- the hammer and the blade.

I'm sure that CS drives really nicely but that GT looks incredible!
Typically don't like most of the MB designs, but I'm just picturing it drifting in red during a safety car phase in an F1 race. |

The iPad screen really detracts from the experience too. It’s tacky but it also controls everything. It will take a lot of time to adjust imho.
I’d like the Benz exterior with M8 interior and comfort. Perfect marriage. |

I still can’t wrap my mind around that screen for a convertible. I get that it tilts for glare, but living here in AZ there’s no chance that screen survives without overheating constantly

I used RC since I was able to move it over from the last G80 with a new file ... and maybe its placebo or not (see below) but the car is definitely more noticeable in map 7 vs OEM.
I have been using the app to go from map zero (no change) to 7 and on the CS the change or effect of the new map is more impactful than going from zero to 7 on the M8.

Update:
My friend who is the minority owner offered me 12k off the blue GT63 that I test drove... I passed as I just dont think its even worth 181k and the SL history (albeit a different car) has proven that the price point of these Benzes are still sitting too high. Proof is all the cars on the ground still; so if you are interested- WAIT IMHO. Trunk money and Hood Rebates will come. So I was bored and instead got this; way more bang for the buck and less bucks

Also considered Z06 but ended up picking another R8. GT4 is gone.

Nice!! I have mine so its not going anywhere and nothing changed from 2020 to 2023 (R8)- which is actually kinda why I havent got a newer year. I always hoped/wanted Audi to do a small LCI style change inside cause its just so archaic compared to the ID8 or even the Z06/992 GTS cockpit. But thats not why we buy R8's

R8’s have very simple interior but I really like it. It never bothered me when I owned a 2017 model. But you’re right though, another final LCI wouldn’t been cool, maybe matrix LED’s.
