BMW Unveils the First-Ever M3 CS Touring: A High-Performance Limited Edition Wagon
BMW has officially revealed the first-ever M3 CS Touring, a limited-edition high-performance wagon that blends track-ready engineering with daily practicality. The debut took place at Mount Panorama Circuit during the Bathurst 12-Hour race, marking a significant milestone for BMW’s M division.
Power & Performance
The M3 CS Touring is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine, delivering an impressive 550 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission and BMW’s M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. Performance enhancements include a reinforced crankcase, a forged lightweight crankshaft, and model-specific chassis tuning.
Lightweight Construction & Aerodynamics
To enhance performance, BMW has incorporated carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components across the hood, front splitter, mirror caps, and rear diffuser, reducing weight by 15 kg compared to the standard M3 Competition Touring. Inside, M Carbon bucket seats and a lightweight center console reinforce the race-inspired aesthetic, while a titanium rear silencer enhances the exhaust note.
Exclusive Design & Features
The M3 CS Touring sports a frameless kidney grille, yellow GT-style headlights, and distinctive color options such as British Racing Green and Laguna Seca Blue. It rides on forged 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, equipped with track-ready tires for maximum grip and stability.
Limited Production & Availability
BMW has confirmed that the M3 CS Touring will be produced in limited numbers, though exact figures have not been disclosed. Deliveries are set to begin in March 2025 across Europe, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
