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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Shortly after several teasers were released, the BMW M3 CS Touring has officially premiered. The German marque has taken off the covers to the new family hauler in Australia on the eve of the Bathurst 12 Hours endurance race before global deliveries begin. Unfortunately, the new model will not be sold in the United States.

For the first time BMW has revealed a new model in Australia, taking the covers off the sharper M3 CS Touring in Bathurst.

The M3 CS Touring is expected to follow the same formula as the M3 CS sedan that was sold in 2024, which means extra power and less weight.
