Lighter carbon-fiber parts, added muscle everywhere, and a top speed that trips a limiter at 186mph are the highlights of BMW’s upcoming M3 CS Touring xDrive. And it’s something BMW has never done before. Sure, the Bavarian automaker has made a few M3 wagons in its time, but it’s never made a CS range-topping version before.

BMW is expanding its legendary CS package to the wagon version of the M3, which is not sold in the United States. This high-output wagon uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged I6 to send 543 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic before hitting the xDrive AWD system.

BMW makes its M3 sport wagon even sharper with the new CS model, which unfortunately won't be sold in America.

The limited-production M3 CS Touring has a 3D-printed cylinder head core, higher-boost turbochargers, and a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds with rollout.

BMW has introduced the first-ever BMW M3 CS Touring, a limited-edition high-performance wagon that combines track-inspired engineering with everyday versatility. Debuting at the iconic Mount Panorama Circuit during the Bathurst 12-Hour race,

As per BMW’s other modern CS cars, the 3.0-litre features a new, blowier set of blowers with more charge pressure (2.1 bar), plus a few 0s and 1s inserted into the engine management code to allow for the 20bhp increase. The mountings for this engine are stiffer, too.

Stepping-up from the standard M3 Touring, the CS will be making local market landfall in limited numbers, but only in the first quarter of 2026.

The CS treatment for the M3 Touring brings the same 543-hp rating as the hardcore M4 CSL coupe, generated by a tuned version of the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 found in all M3 and M4 models. The performance increase over the 523-hp M3 Competition comes from extra boost pressure and tweaks to the engine’s electronic management.
