BMW M4 CS revealed at the Shanghai Motor Show

BMW has unveiled the new BMW M4 CS at the Shanghai Motor Show. The CS is positioned between the M4 Competition Pack and the track-tool GTS. Priced at €116,900 the M4 CS will go on sale sometime in 2018.

Given that the limited edition GTS is sold out, the CS becomes the most potent M4 on sale today. The 3.0-litre twin turbocharged straight-six now delivers 454bhp (30bhp more than standard M4). This raw power is channeled to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch seven-speed auto (no manual transmission here unfortunately). The Bavarian sprints to 100kmph in mere 3.9 seconds and clocks a top speed of 280kmph. In Fact, BMW says that the CS has lapped the Green Hell in 7.38 minutes.

The CS benefits from the GTS’ weight saving measures. With extensive use of carbon fibre on boot, roof and other composite material, the CS tips the scale at 1580kg, giving the CS a power-to-weight ratio of 287bhp/tonne. There are new carbon fibre splitters up front and a lip spoiler on the boot. The lightweight alloy wheels are wrapped in special 285 section Michelin tyres.

On the inside, the CS gets Alcantara-wrapped upholstery, M-Sport seats and steering wheel, and all the other goodies from the Competition Pack. There are two metallic colours for the CS – San Marino Blue and Lime Rock Grey. To make it more alluring, a Frozen Dark Blue II will also be available later.

BMW asserts that the CS badging is here to stay. It will adorn the beefier versions positioned above the Competition Pack vehicles in the years to come. This makes the upcoming M2 CS an even more tempting option.
