BMW M3 CS Touring Hits UK Roads In The Most Suitable Color

We noticed the M3 CS Touring on the Goodwood FoS, the place BMW showcased the wagon in Frozen Solid White. Nevertheless, we reckon essentially the most becoming colour for the hardcore G81 within the UK is British Racing Inexperienced. New press photographs present one of the vital versatile fashions in Bavaria’s lineup, possible in its greatest specification but.

Whereas the M3 CS Touring’s wheels can be found with a matte black end, we’d go for these matte Gold Bronze alloys as an alternative. They supply a hanging distinction to the historic green paint and echo the yellow daytime operating lights unique to the Competitors Sport version. Because it stands, it’s onerous to discover a extra fascinating automotive in BMW’s intensive lineup. It might lack a handbook gearbox and a carbon roof, however it ticks each different field, and has room for all of them in its cavernous cargo space.

Don’t anticipate to see the M3 CS Touring usually on public roads. Past its steep price ticket, manufacturing is restricted, not by models, however by time. BMW will construct the efficiency wagon for under about 12 months as a part of a “restricted run,” with whole output unlikely to exceed 2,000 models.

Some may even see the M5 Touring because the pure improve, however others would beg to vary. The smaller über-wagon skips hybrid tech in favor of a pure gasoline expertise. It additionally options one thing BMW wagon followers admire, one thing the G99 doesn’t provide: the flexibility to open the rear glass individually from the tailgate. Not one of the 5 Collection Touring (G61) variants provide it both. Why? Apparently, it’s not a cost-cutting transfer, however a decision made by the design team.

The common M3 Touring will stick with it after the CS model bows out in 2026. BMW will allegedly construct the ultimate G81 within the second half of 2027, presumably round October. As for what’s subsequent, the rumored 3 Collection Touring (G51) faces an unsure future. Consequently, one other long-roof M3 with a gasoline engine isn’t assured. Nevertheless, BMW has hinted at a completely electrical i3 Touring. And with an M3 EV sedan (“ZA0”) already formally confirmed, a extra sensible physique fashion will observe.
