BMW has officially introduced the BMW M3 CS Touring, an even more extreme version of its high-performance estate. This special edition brings significant upgrades over the standard M3 Touring, featuring an aggressive design, enhanced power, and weight reduction for a sharper driving experience.
Design and Lightweight Enhancements
The M3 CS Touring adopts a more aggressive stance, borrowing styling cues from the M3 CS sedan. It features a new Y-shaped kidney grille with a red outline, distinctive yellow LED headlight signatures, and a sculpted bonnet with prominent black-finished air ducts. The addition of a carbon-fibre front splitter further enhances aerodynamics and styling.
On the sides, carbon-fibre mirror caps and newly designed forged wheels add to the sporty appeal. The 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels come in matte black or gold bronze finishes. At the rear, a carbon-fibre diffuser and red-contoured roof spoiler provide a distinctive look. BMW is offering the M3 CS Touring in four striking colors: British Racing Green, Frozen Solid White, Laguna Seca Blue, and Sapphire Black.
Luxurious and Sporty Cabin Enhancements
Inside, the M3 CS Touring maintains the familiar M3 Touring layout but incorporates exclusive CS elements. It features carbon-fibre bucket seats with illuminated ‘CS’ badging, carbon-fibre paddle shifters, and additional carbon trim on the dashboard, reinforcing its high-performance identity. The focus remains on a driver-centric experience, combining luxury with motorsport-inspired details.

Conclusion
Deliveries for the BMW M3 CS Touring are set to begin in March 2025. While BMW has not disclosed specific production numbers, the model is expected to be a limited-run high-performance estate. However, given that estate body styles have limited appeal in India, the M3 CS Touring is unlikely to launch in the Indian market.
With its track-focused performance, lightweight construction, and bold styling, the BMW M3 CS Touring cements itself as an exciting addition to BMW’s legendary M division lineup. Enthusiasts worldwide can expect a thrilling, high-performance estate that blends practicality with raw power.
