Like the new BMW M4 CSL, the most important saloon of the Munich brand will also have an almost equally radical alternative. Specially developed for those that the different versions offered at the top of the range is not enough. For these, the BMW M3 CS 2023 will meet your needs, and which we present to you in this recreation prior to its world debut.
BMW M is about to inaugurate the commemoration of its 50th anniversary, and as you know, it will do so in style with a package of new features that will reach all models. The Garching firm has already given the first official previews of the new BMW M4 CSL, but the sedan will not remain inert with the different versions it offers of the M3but it will go up an important step.
The Bavarians do not want to leave a single model with a high-performance special edition, but in the case of this most radical option of Series 3 It is one more of the range, with no unit limit, but with a very special role: the one that puts the icing on the saloon offer. The BMW M3 CS 2023 is what we present to you in this new recreation. Although the model will sport a very important acronym, the exterior appearance will not change excessively compared to other units of the BMW M3, as you can see in the video below these lines of a prototype hunted towards Austria.

And it is that those of BMW M have conserved the grille with double horizontal bars as in the M3just like the shapes of the bumper and the large openings it presents are the same as those of the more aggressive version of the “M Competition”, but on the front lip it will have a very discreet thin spoiler that will be made of carbon fiber as standard. The same material also used in the roof panel and in the inserts in the lower rear part, in addition to the exterior rear-view mirrors or the thin spoiler on the edge of the boot lid.
All the exterior elements will show off the fabric of the material and will be standard, as will the bucket structure of the front seats, racing cars, and the decoration of the door panels and part of the dashboard. The aim is to offer a more radical and luxurious atmosphere, at the same time, in the interior of the sports saloon. For now, its prototypes are not being seen as much as we would like, but we do know that the tuning of the chassis will be more extreme than in the M3, with the series carbo-ceramic brakes.
But where it will really delight will be under the front hood, because the margin available to the 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine has been used almost to the maximum, in a new statement of strength. Because its performance will be increased to a maximum power of 540 hpbarely thirty more than the sports car but with a slimming cure in some areas, and without xDrive all-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive only and 8-speed automatic transmission, it will really offer unique sensations. The new M3 CS will be unveiled in late 2022, with deliveries expected in mid-spring 2023.
