The M3 CS Touring is expected to follow the same formula as the M3 CS sedan that was sold in 2024, which means extra power and less weight.

The ever-confusing BMW M lineup no longer includes an M3 CS in the United States, but the short-lived M3 CS last sold here received an outrageous 543 horsepower from its turbochar

BMW gave us a first look at the high-performance M3 CS Touring that should be out soon, which looks aggressive and ready for business.

In saloon form, the CS treatment ups the 3.0-litre turbo straight six’s output to 542bhp. That drops the 0-62mph time to 3.4 seconds and provides a top speed of 188mph. And it’ll be infinitely cooler as an estate.

The BMW M3 CS Sedan is about to get a more practical sibling. The upcoming M3 CS Touring's production will reportedly be capped at fewer than 2,000 copies

BMW officially teases upcoming M3 CS Touring; high-performance version will get updated exterior elements, more power, and weight reductions. Tap for more details.

The fast estate has been a popular segment for some time, and while the likes of Mercedes-AMG and Audi have tried their hardest to create the very best offering, not much has met the brief quite as well as the G81 BMW M3 Touring. While it’s an outstanding driver’s choice in its standard form, the CS treatment is about to make it more capable still.

The standard M3 Touring starts at £87,945; when we drove it in the UK at launch, the CS was from £115,955. So there’s no reason to expect much change from £125k, especially as Touring production is almost certain to be limited.
