High-Performance M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder petrol engine.
The M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine with 405 kW (550 hp) features superior power delivery and the striking characteristic M engine sound.

CS specific driving dynamics.
From specific springs, anti-roll bars, damping elements and control arms to traction control: The BMW M3 CS is made for the race track.

Reduced weight.
For more agile driving, plastic components reinforced with carbon fibre (CFRP) and intelligent lightweight construction reduce weight by approx. 20 kg compared to the BMW M3 Competition with M xDrive.

Bonnet and carbon front splitter.
The bonnet with visible carbon and the front splitter made of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) significantly reinforce the performance-oriented appearance of the BMW M3 CS.

The M Laserlight makes the high-beam headlights shine particularly far and is reminiscent of GT racing cars with its bright yellow icons.

M Carbon rear spoiler.
The M Carbon rear spoiler reinforces the contact pressure on the road on faster journeys and increases your control of the BMW M3 CS. In addition to its visual value as a racing reference, it generates more downforce at the rear axle and ensures a more stable and superior driving experience, especially during cornering manoeuvres.

M Carbon bucket seats.
The M Carbon bucket seat in bicolour Black/Red with contrast stitching combines the lightness and racing character of a bucket seat with the range of functions of an M sport seat.

Rear seat bench in Bicolour Black/Red.
The athletic presence of the exterior also carries through to the rear. The rear seat bench in a Black and Red Bicolour look is a real eye-catcher in the interior.
