2025 BMW M3 CS Touring debuts at Bathurst
First-ever CS wagon is a 405kW ripsnorter good for 300km/hThe 2025 BMW M3 CS Touring has been revealed at the Bathurst 12 Hour, with just 55 examples of the high-performance wagon set to be offered in Australia, all priced from $253,900 plus on-road costs.
That asking price is a heady $70,400 more than the standard M3 Competition Touring, though buyers will be getting a fair bit more in exchange for the extra cash.
Following the same recipe as the M3 CS sedan and related M4 CS coupe, the M3 CS Touring packs 405kW/650Nm (+15kW) and blends it with a more aggressive chassis, lightened body and some unique interior appointments.
Zero-100km/h is dispatched in a claimed 3.5 seconds, 0-200km/h takes 11.7 seconds, and the top speed is an even 300km/h, however a swathe of carbon bits, forged wheels, strut brace and M Carbon brakes provide sharper dynamics to match the extra go.
The full list of CS-specific goodies comprises:
- CS Merino leather upholstery
- 19-inch front, 20-inch rear M light alloy wheels
- M Compound brakes
- M Carbon bucket seats (power-adjustable and heated)
- M Alcantara steering wheel
- Adaptive LED headlights with yellow icons
- M Carbon exterior package
- M Driver’s package
- Carbon fibre bonnet and splitter
- Titanium exhaust
- CS-specific engine mount
- M front strut brace
- Driving Assistant
- Parking Assistant
- Sun protection glazing
- BMW Individual Paintwork
All these goodies bolster a comprehensive equipment list carried over from the M3 Competition Touring with highlights including M adaptive dampers, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, comfort access, connected package professional, DAB+ tuner, carbon interior trim, Live Cockpit Professional with head-up display, M seat belts and wireless smartphone charging.
An eight-speed automatic remains the default transmission as per the Competition, however the CS’ adaptive suspension and electronic power steering have both been retuned for sharper response, along with more aggressive settings for the stability control and M Dynamic drive mode.
“The world premiere of a new BMW model is significant for any market and the fact we have been selected for the launch of the M3 CS Touring is an honour while highlighting the importance of Australia in the global context,” BMW Group Australia CEO Wolfgang Buechel said.
“Record-breaking sales results for BMW M again show that Australians are true appreciators of cars with emotion and performance.”
While the CS has now made its global debut, the first Australian customer cars won’t be handed over until mid-year.
