BMW M3 CS 2024.

The extreme sedan BMW M3 CS is presented.

Last year’s BMW M4 CSL coupe turned out to be really extreme: minus 100 kg of curb weight, two-seater interior, forced engine, rear drive.

However, the new BMW M3 CS sedan is built according to another, less radical recipe.

It has kept full-fledged four-seater saloon and is still suitable for daily use. Although it has become more capable on the racetrack.

The all-wheel drive sedan BMW M3 Competition xDrive with an eight-speed «automatic» and an active rear M-differential is taken as the basis.

The drifting mode is preserved, in which the front drive is forcibly switched off together with the stabilization system.

The 3.0 twin-turbocharged engine is the same as in the M4 CSL.
