The front end remains a “love it or hate it” feature with the extended kidney grilles, but the rest of the M3 CS Touring is sharp looking. Far from looking like a mundane station wagon, the M3 CS Touring adds carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts and additional performance with an extended roof.

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.

Wagon fans and enthusiasts rejoice! Following in the footsteps of the M2 CS pocket rocket, the hardcore M3 CS and the excellent M4 CS, BMW is adding another track-focused CS model to its portfolio. Witness the M3 CS Touring, a lighter and more powerful version of the brand’s M3 Touring wagon.
