BMW M3 CS Rental in Los Angeles
The white BMW M3 CS with a black interior is a Prometheus Exotics rental based in Los Angeles, the calmer of our two CS cars, without the red seat accents on its Orange County twin. Carbon buckets, 543 horsepower and a sharper chassis than the Competition make it the pick for a renter who already wants a CS, not just an M3.
How It Drives
The CS sharpens the M3 rather than enlarging it. Less weight, stiffer engine mounts and a chassis tune specific to this trim make the front end feel more alert than the Competition from the first turn of the wheel, and the extra power over a standard Competition arrives through the same twin turbo inline six pulling hard from about 2,500 rpm to the 7,200 rpm redline. Sixty comes up in 3.2 seconds with all four wheels finding grip before you can ask them to. The titanium exhaust gives the note a harder edge under load than a Competition's, though it stays composed rather than loud. Take it up Angeles Crest Highway and the reduced weight is what you feel first, not the extra power.
How It Photographs
White is the CS's own colour, and against it the details that mark this out from a regular M3 read clearly: the yellow running lights, the exposed carbon hood with its cutout, and the frameless grille with a red contour line rather than a chrome one. Paired with a plain black cabin rather than the red accented interior on our other CS, the effect is clean and deliberate instead of showy. Shoot it in the harsh midday light on a Beverly Hills side street and the white holds the body's shape while everything else stays quiet, or catch the carbon roof weave from above in a parking structure, which is where this car photographs best.
Why This One
Book this one over the Orange County based CS if Los Angeles is where you need the car, and over that car's Black-Red interior if you want the cleaner, less announced cabin. It carries the same 543 horsepower, the same carbon work and the same 3.2 second 0-60 as our other CS, so the choice between them comes down to interior and home base rather than performance. Against the Competition cars on our BMW row, this is the quicker, lighter, more limited version, the one for a renter who already wants a CS specifically rather than an M3 in general. In Los Angeles it is also the M3 that gets correctly identified by the people who would know.
What's On This One
This is the M3 CS, the limited production trim above the Competition, in white with a plain black interior. Carbon bucket seats in Merino leather are standard here, not optional, along with the exposed carbon hood, frameless kidney grille with red contour lines, yellow daytime running lights and forged wheels. Power comes from the 3.0 liter twin turbo inline six at 543 horsepower and 479 lb-ft, sent through all wheel drive to a 3.2 second 0-60 and a 188 mph top speed with the M Driver's Package included standard on this trim. Four seats, four doors, and M Compound brakes with red calipers as standard equipment.
