Why this is the BEST BMW M car!

Meet the most hardcore BMW M3 you can buy - the all-new BMW M3 CS!

Limited to around 2,000 units, the M3 CS comes with a whole load of upgrades over the standard M3 Competition. The question is, should you pay the £116,000 starting price?

Well, let’s start by checking out the design. On the outside, the M3 CS is absolutely covered in carbon! Up front, you get a carbon fibre bonnet and a more aggressive, carbon fibre bumper. There’s also exclusive red piping around the grille. Along the side, you’ll find unique alloy wheel designs, while around the back there’s a huge carbon diffuser. The roof is also made of carbon, naturally…

Step inside and the carbon theme continues. You get carbon bucket seats as standard, along with a smattering of carbon across the centre console and dash. You also get an Alcantara-covered steering wheel, red stitching throughout the cabin and BMW’s all-new infotainment system.

Under the bonnet, you’ll find the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as in the standard car. However, BMW has reworked the ECU, and as a result, the power output has increased from 510hp to 550hp. Torque remains the same, at 650Nm, and power is still sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic torque converter gearbox.
