The first-ever BMW M3 CS Touring is a work of art and adds even more appeal to the wagon styling that’s looking to make a comeback. The M3 Touring was so popular and anticipated that broke the interwebs when it was launched, but this CS version will surely take that to the next level. It’s a stunning car with just the right amount of changes to make it worthy of wearing that iconic CS badge. The standard-spec exposed carbon fibre bonnet, front splitter, front air intakes and M exterior mirror caps create a contrast against the top exterior paint colours in British Racing Green, Laguna Seca Blue, Frozen Solid White or Sapphire Black metallic. The roof and model-specific roof spoiler are in black high-gloss with a red surround for the roof spoiler. The front end of the car is defined by the weight-minimised, ultra-stripped-back and frameless BMW M kidney grille and the LED headlights glow with the same yellow light as GT racing cars. The interior of the BMW M3 CS Touring blends a sportscar cockpit designed to exude maximum performance with digital technology and exclusive design features. Electrically adjustable and heated M Carbon bucket seats are fitted as standard for the driver and front passenger. They have integral head restraints, an illuminated “CS” model badge and surfaces in Merino leather. Their exclusive Black/Red design is also adopted by the rear seats, while all the door panel trim is covered with black leather. The standard M Alcantara steering wheel in a 3-spoke design – with its flat-bottomed rim and red centre marker in the 12-o’clock position – brings authentic racing car flair into the cockpit. Further M-specific details are the red “CS” badge on the centre console, M seat belts and door sill plates with model lettering.

The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line 6 in the BMW M3 CS Touring was designed to deliver high performance on the race track – and it features technological details like an extremely rigid crankcase with a sleeve-free, closed-deck construction, a forged lightweight crankshaft and a cylinder head with a 3D-printed core. The cylinder bores have a wire-arc sprayed iron coating to reduce frictional losses and the cooling system and oil supply are designed to handle the sustained heavy loads generated during hard driving. Raising the maximum boost pressure to 2.1 bar with model-specific tweaks to the engine management sees power output increased by 15 kW to 405 kW with peak torque at 650 Nm. The powerplant pairs with an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission including Drivelogic that channels its power to the road through the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system. In tandem with the fully variable Active M Differential, the intelligent AWD system’s rear-wheel bias enhances the M-typical handling dynamics. Added to this, 4WD Sport mode can be selected via the M Setup menu which sends an even greater proportion of the engine’s power to the rear wheels. 2WD mode delivers a classic rear-wheel drive setup with the DSC system deactivated which is great for getting smokey press images. The settings for the DSC system and M Dynamic Mode have also been optimised for the specific demands of committed circuit driving. The electronically controlled dampers of the adaptive M suspension on the BMW M3 CS Touring likewise come in a model-specific setup, as do its M Servotronic steering and integrated braking system. The instantaneous power delivery means the BMW M3 CS Touring can do the 0-100 km/h test in just 3.5 seconds, and 0-200 km/h comes up in 11.7 seconds. The mid-range sprint from 80 to 120 km/h takes 2.7 seconds in 4th gear and 3.5 seconds in 5th gear while the top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h. The M-specific exhaust system features electrically controlled flaps, a titanium rear silencer with a weight-minimising design and two pairs of tailpipes painted in matt Black. Providing outstanding stopping power are M Compound brakes with callipers painted in a choice of Red or Black. There is also the option of M Carbon ceramic brakes whose brake callipers are available in Red or matt Gold. Also on the standard equipment list are forged M light-alloy wheels in an exclusive double-spoke design with a matt Gold Bronze or matt Black finish. Measuring 19 inches in diameter at the front axle and 20 inches at the rear, the wheels are fitted as standard with track tyres, but customers also have the no-cost option of sports tyres with the same dimensions.
