The 2023 BMW M3 CS has been officially revealed after images were leaked earlier this week. The Munich brand’s Australian arm has confirmed that the model will have a limited arrival late this year. The pricing for the Australasian spec M3 CS is set to start from $249,900 before on-road costs, which translates to a staggering $176,798 US dollars with current exchange rates.

The M3 CS comes with a significant power boost to its 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which has been increased from 375kW in the M3 Competition to a stonking 405kW, with 650Nm of torque available from 2750rpm all the way to 5950rpm. The power peaks at 6250rpm and tops out at 7200rpm, thanks to an increase in turbocharger boost pressure from 1.7 to 2.1 bar.

BMW has also made the M3 CS 20kg lighter than the standard variant by using a series of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic elements that replace standard components like the bonnet, front splitter, front air intakes, exterior mirror caps, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler, as well as a carbon-fibre roof. This, combined with the use of BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system, results in a faster car. The CS can hit 100km/h in a claimed 3.4 seconds, compared to 3.5 seconds for the AWD M3 Competition.

Visually, the CS is notable for its decals and the yellow illuminated laser headlights, which pay homage to the M3 touring car racers that share the same headlight tint. The interior of the car features M Carbon bucket seats and a series of CS trim elements that separate it from a ‘standard’ M3. Overall, the 2023 BMW M3 CS is a powerful and visually striking sports car that is sure to turn heads on the road.
