The BMW M3 CS will sport an inline-6 543HP engine featuring an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission coupled with the manufacturer’s M xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system. All these features will make the vehicle move from 0 mph to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. The M Drive system will help the car to achieve a much higher speed of 188mph.
2024 BMW M3 CS Engine Specifications
The high-revving inline 3-liter six-cylinder engine will function using the automaker’s M TwinPower Turbo technology. The forged lightweight crankcase of the engine has a closed deck and sleeveless rigid construction that makes it capable of withstanding high combustion pressures. Moreover, the high torsional resistance increases the power buildup. The oil supply and cooling systems handle the challenging requirements of track use.
The S58 engine of the M3 CS will also portray a power increase of 40HP over its predecessor by changing the engine management and increasing the boost pressure of the two mono-scroll turbochargers in the 2024 BMW M3 CS. These turbochargers depict a raise of pressure from 24.7psi to 30.5psi.
The torque rendered by the engine will be distributed through an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission featuring a Drivelogic system. The car will also have an M Setup menu for the driver to change from the standard 4WD setting to the 4WD sport setting that delivers more torque at the back wheels for a high-performance driving experience.
Other M3 CS Noteworthy Features
The BMW M3 CS will sport high-performance track-oriented tires with distinct wheel camber settings. The M-light alloy wheels feature a V-spoke design with a matte black or gold bronze finish. The front wheels have a size of 19 inches while those at the rear are slightly bigger at 20 inches size.
The CS car is expected to house the manufacturer’s frameless kidney grille along with red contour lines and pared-back styling like the M4 GT3. There will also be an M3 CS badge above the dual horizontal grille bars.
