The New BMW M4 CS Launched
One of the most anticipated BMW M models this year, the new BMW M4 CS, was unveiled at the first-ever BMW M Festival at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Gauteng.
MGmbH is presenting another exclusive limited-run special-edition model in the shape of the new BMWM4CS with fuel consumption figures in a combined cycle of 8.4 l/100 km. The BMW M4CS fills the gap in the line-up between the M4Coupe with Competition Package and the uncompromisingly track-focused BMWM4GTS. With its accentuated sporting presence, the new M4CS continues the decades-long tradition of successful Mspecial editions which began in 1988 with the E30 BMWM3Evolution. The new BMWM4CS will be built at the original BMW plant in Munich.
The M4 CS also sees BMW M GmbH introducing a new nomenclature for its models. Positioned above the standard M models will be the performance-boosted Competition versions. Then come the CS special-edition models, a notch higher still. Positioned on top are the performance-maximising "brand shapers" which display a clear motor sport or club sport character but are also fully road legal.
The 3.0-litre high-performance engine raises the output of the M4 with Competition Package by 10 horsepower, to 460 hp (338kW). State-of-the-artTwinPowerTurbotechnology allows the M4CS to dip below the four-second mark for the 0 to 100 km/h sprint, stopping the clock at 3.9seconds. The top speed of the M4CS, which comes as standard with the MDriver'sPackage, is electronically limited to 280 km/h. With its two mono-scroll turbochargers, charge air cooler, HighPrecisionInjection, VALVETRONIC variable valve timing and Double-VANOS fully variable camshaft timing, the six-cylinder in-line engine and takes a clear and consistent aim at the higher echelons of performance.
