BMW raises the stakes M4 lineup with the addition of 2025 M4 CSwhich is intended to give his sports coupe a little more of that hard touch the current M4 Competition. How the BMW M3 CS that came out last year, that new M4 CS features more power, a retuned suspension and some weight reduction to make the CS faster and more fun than the cars below it.
The M4 CS makes 543 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 20 horsepower the M4 competition, but the torque remains the same. It will also adopt the 8-speed M Steptronic from the regular M4 Competition transmission And standard xDrive all-wheel drive. BMW was able to extract this performance increase from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter S58 inline-six engine by improving the twin-scroll turbos, increasing the engine’s maximum boost pressure to 30.5 psi and optimizing the engine management computer.
According to BMW, the CS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds (0.2 seconds quicker than the regular M4 Comp). Nürbrugring Nordschleife Lap time of 7:21.99 (about 7 seconds faster than Sport Auto in the M4 Comp) and an electronically limited top speed of 199 mph (19 mph faster than the M4 Comp). That’s pretty quick.
Although The M4 CS is all-wheel driveBMW says that like other AWD M cars, You can still switch it to rear-wheel drive mode if necessary. Regardless, the system is backwards no matter what you do (as it should be). BMW In addition, the axle kinematics, camber settings, dampers, additional springs and stabilizers were changed for more aggressive driving. Electronically controlled dampers Adaptive M chassis also have a tailor-made setup for the M4 CS and the steering has also been retuned. There’s also a new front strut brace for increased torsional rigidity and better handling.
The M4 CS also comes standard with BMW’s M Compound brakes, and you can choose to have your calipers painted red or black. If the braking power is simply not enough for you, you are welcome to upgrade to the M Carbon ceramic brake construction with calipers that can be painted red or gold. The big old brakes are surrounded by forged alloy wheels that can be painted in either gold bronze or matte black. You’ll find 275/25ZR19 tires up front and 285/30ZR20 rubber at the rear. Track tires are also a free extra if you’re feeling a little crazy.
To save weight, BMW released this carbon fiber reinforced plastic and threw everything over the M4 CS. One of the best examples is the carbon fiber roof, which helps lower the vehicle’s center of gravity. The hood, front splitter, front air intakes, exterior mirror caps, rear diffuser and rear spoiler are also made of CFRP. Step inside and you’ll find a lot more of the stuff. The center console, shift paddles and various other trim parts consist of CFRP. The biggest piece of carbon fiber inside the car, however, are the M Carbon bucket seats, which look totally badass and probably aren’t that comfortable, but who needs comfort?
BMW has also saved on weight M4 Exhaust system with titanium rear silencer. All of these things combined mean the CS is 77 pounds lighter than the M4 competition. When the car launches, it will only be available in two colors: Riviera Blue and Frozen Isle of Man Green Metallic. It also features lots of red bits and exterior carbon fiber accents, a revised kidney grille, and a slightly different lighting treatment with yellow daytime running lights that let people know this isn’t just an ordinary M4.
I’ve already spent some time on the track with the M3 CSI can tell you with certainty that the M4 CS will be just as crazy, if not crazier. The 2025 M4 CS will be unveiled in person for the first time this Friday, May 10th IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race at Laguna Secaas well as the Spa-Francorchamps Endurance World Championship. According to BMW, the M4 CS will start at $124,675 (including destination) when it goes into production alongside other M4 variants at the company’s Dingolfing factory from July this year.
