Since the 2018 model year, BMW’s M3 CS luxury sports sedan has been known for being a potent track weapon, equipped with the best performance technology BMW has to offer and lowered curb weight for improved dynamics. The German automaker has just revealed the 2024 M3 CS, which will be produced in limited numbers.

Lighter Weight, New Styling
The 2024 M3 CS’s exterior styling is largely the same as the other 3 Series models’. However, BMW has chosen to make extensive use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic to shed as much weight as possible; the roof, hood, front splitter, front air intakes, mirror caps, rear diffuser and rear spoiler are all made of the lightweight material. The interior of the M3 CS also sees splashes of CFRP on the shift paddles, center console and interior trim. Along with the standard M Carbon sport bucket seats, BMW was able to shed 75 pounds of excess weight when compared to the M3 Competition xDrive variant.
In addition to the weight savings, model-exclusive styling touches make the 2024 M3 CS stand out from the crowd. An optional Individual Frozen Solid White metallic paint is unique to the model, as are the exposed carbon-fiber exterior surfaces.
