BMW may be in the middle of developing both CS and
GTS-branded variants of the M2, but it hasn’t forgotten about the M3 and is
preparing to release a CS version of it in 2018.
Bimmer Today claims that the new M3 CS will share
most of its components with the stunning M4 CS, including its sibling’s
upgraded twin-turbo six-cylinder with 454 hp. When fitted into the M3 CS, the
sedan will become the most powerful M3 ever produced, eclipsing the 444 hp E92
M3 GTS.
Like the M4 CS, the lightened and more
driver-focused M3 will adopt a carbon fiber front lip, the hood of the M4 GTS,
a carbon spoiler at the rear and a new diffuser. The OLED taillights will also
be carried over to the sedan alternative.
Its reported that the M3 CS will
hit the market in the spring of 2018 and act as the swansong for the
F80-generation M3.
