BMW has announced a new special edition joining the M3 and M4 lineup: the BMW M4 CS. This car bridges the gap between a high-performance everyday car and a thrilling track monster.
The M4 CS boasts a specially tuned, high-revving six-cylinder engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, producing 405 kW. This is achieved through adjustments to the engine’s turbochargers and software. The result? Explosive acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 302 km/h (electronically limited).
Forged components and a 3D-printed cylinder head contribute to the engine’s lightweight design and exceptional performance. An M xDrive all-wheel-drive system with a rear-wheel bias and an active M differential further enhance handling and agility.
Lightweight Design and Exclusive Touches
Extensive use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) helps keep weight down. This includes the roof, bonnet, front splitter, air intakes, mirror caps, rear diffuser, and spoiler. M Carbon bucket seats with CFRP elements and a lightweight center console further reduce weight.
Visually, the M4 CS stands out with exclusive design features like the new BMW Individual paint finishes, exposed carbon fiber surfaces, and a frameless kidney grille with red accents. Eye-catching yellow headlights and taillights with a 3D effect add a touch of racing flair.
Tech and Comfort Features
The driver-oriented cockpit features an M Alcantara steering wheel with CFRP shift paddles and M Carbon bucket seats with Merino leather upholstery. The latest BMW iDrive system with a curved display and M-specific readouts keeps drivers informed and entertained. Standard features include a head-up display, navigation system, smartphone integration, and a Harman Kardon sound system.
Limited Availability and High Price
Only 25 units of the BMW M4 CS will be available in South Africa, arriving in the fourth quarter of 2024. The price tag? A hefty R3,050,000 (including VAT and Motorplan).
