Looking to get yourself one of the best sports cars on the market? This could be a good place to start. It’s the new 2025 BMW M4 CS, packed with the craziest bits offered for the current-gen model.
The new M4 CS is a special, even-more-track-ready version of the M4 Competition, featuring a number of lighter weight components and a more powerful engine. It follows on from the launch of the M3 CS sedan launch last year.
Thanks to various carbon fibre parts, such as the roof, bonnet, front splitter, side mirror caps, and rear diffuser and spoiler, overall weight has been cut by 20kg. That might not seem like much but pair it with suspension tuning and a more powerful engine, and you’re left with something that could only be described as a driver’s paradise.
Other parts also help to reduce weight, including a titanium exhaust system saving 4kg, special forged alloy wheels measuring 19 inches on the front and 20 inches on the back, and buyers can option for a set of carbon ceramic brakes.
Power comes from a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six engine, producing 405kW and 650Nm. Power is up by 15kW over the existing M4 Competition, mostly thanks to turbo boost revisions and a peak pressure of 2.1 bar (30.4psi).
Across the typical sprints, BMW says the new M4 CS covers 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds, 0-200km/h in 11.1 seconds, and it offers a top speed that’s limited to 302km/h. It comes standard with the M Driver’s Package which unlocks the higher top speed from the German standard of 250km/h.
The new variant continues with a fully variable four-wheel drive system with s switchable RWD mode, as well as an Active M Differential at the back, and an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission.
In terms of the suspension tweaks, BMW M has given the CS a bespoke tune, with altered camber settings, damper and spring calibration, and stabiliser bar tuning. The electromechanical M Servotronic steering and variable ratio system have also been tuned specifically for the CS.
Passengers in the front are treated to M Carbon bucket seats wrapped in Merino leather, with an M Alcantara steering wheel for the driver, with various fixtures and highlights featuring M colours or CS logos. There’s also a 14.9-inch multimedia screen and 12.3-inch cluster display.
