BMW Philippines shows off the new BMW M3 CS

This souped-up version of the M3 has a retuned version of BMW's 3.0L 6 cylinder S58 engine which puts out 550hp and650Nm of torque. That's 40 more horsepower than the M3 competition. That power propels the M3 CS from 0-100kph in just 3.4 seconds

The CS has an all wheel drive system but for those who like going tail happy, it can be set up so that power is only sent to the rear wheels.

The adaptive suspension has also been retuned with different springs.

Aside from the performance upgrades, it also comes with a lot of aerodynamic and cosmetic enhancements. It gets a carbon fiber front lip, a carbon fiber hood, sidekirts, rear diffuser. It gets a unique set of staggered wheels finished in a bronze-like paintjob. it gets 19s at the front and 20s at the back

Only 2000 units of the CS will be produced globally. We're lucky that we get an allocation here in the Philippines but expect the price tag to reflect its rarity.

The M3 CS will sell for P16,890,000, the most expensive M model that you can currently buy in the Philippines. It will come with BMW's 5 year/200k km warranty.
