The 2024 BMW M3 CS debuts as an even more hardcore version of the track-focused M3 Competition. The M3 CS's twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six is boosted from the Competition's 503 horses to 543, matching the 2023 M4 CSL. The new M3 CS will start at $119,695 when its limited-production run begins this March.

The 2024 BMW M3 CS is designed to be the ultimate M3 track car.

The 2024 BMW M3 CS makes 543 horsepower. That's gains of 70 and 40 horses versus the regular M3 and M3 Competition, respectively.

BMW claims the M3 CS with the M Driver's package can go from zero to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds on its way to an electronically limited 188-mph top speed.

The M3 CS features a cooling system inspired by the M4 GT3 racecar so it can handle the engine's extra power and withstand on-track abuse.

While the M3 CS comes standard with summer tires, a set of stickier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s are a no-cost option.

The M3 CS's 543-hp engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system.

To make the CS about 75 pounds lighter than the M3 Comp, BMW made myriad parts out of lightweight carbon fiber.

Along with upping the power and cutting weight, BMW says it made the M3's engine mounts stiffer to create a more rigid connection between the motor and the car's structure.

While BMW says the M3 CS will be a limited-production model, the company hasn't said how many units it'll be limited to. We guess it'll be 1000 like with the M4 CSL.

The 2024 BMW M3 CS will start at $119,695 when production begins this March.
