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.

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

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.

While it's unlikely that BMW will reverse course and start selling an M3 wagon in America in time for the M3 CS Touring, U.S. buyers looking for a new M car with a long roof do have an option. The newest M5 is also sold as a wagon, and it comes complete with 717 horsepower of plug-in hybrid fury.

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.

The limited-production M3 CS Touring has a 3D-printed cylinder head core, higher-boost turbochargers, and a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds with rollout.

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.
