The BMW M3 Touring CS — a machine that beckons thrill-seekers with the allure of mechanical mastery and technological finesse. Should the already potent 530 bhp standard M3 Touring prove insufficient for your motoring desires, this more rarefied edition offers an additional 20 bhp for a princely £40,000 premium. One could, of course, opt for a more financially prudent solution — a four-year-old M3 at a mere £50,000. Yet, for the true enthusiast, such pragmatism is rarely sufficient. Possession of the CS badge grants not just power, but prestige, a mark of belonging to an elite club where few dare tread.
More than a simple upgrade, the M3 CS Touring is an alchemical feat of precision engineering. It harnesses the brute force of a 550 bhp six-cylinder inline engine, paired with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and M xDrive all-wheel drive. The result? A sprint from nought to 62 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds, with a top speed that dares 186 mph. Such a performance conjures visions of flight rather than mere terrestrial travel.
Its lightweight carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic components lend rigidity without compromising agility. The chassis tuning, tailored specifically for this model, elevates the CS to a league of its own — a mechanical symphony played out across road and track alike.
Offered in four hues—British Racing Green, Laguna Seca Blue, Frozen Solid White, and Black Sapphire Metallic—this edition stands not merely as a vehicle but as a statement of ambition and sophistication.
With production limited, and prices beginning at £120,600 RRP, the M3 CS Touring is destined to arrive on British shores in March 2025, a marvel for those brave enough to embrace it.
