When the engine revs up, the M sport exhaust system produces a loud and distinct sound via four steel tailpipes.
The 2018 BMW M3 CS also comes standard with Adaptive M suspension, which uses lightweight forged aluminum that is optimized for the road and track, as well as a dynamic stability control system and an Active M limited-slip differential. Drivers will be able to adjust the sporty sedan's steering and suspension according to their preferences and road conditions.
Moreover, the use of lightweight and rigid carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the sport sedan's body makes the M3 CS lighter than the standard M3. This, in turn, contributes to a lower center of gravity.
All in all, these sporty components translate to a dynamic driving experience.
As for the cabin, the new M3 CS has a classy ambiance. The sedan's interior features two-tone leather upholstery in Silverstone and Black leather and Alcantara, sport seats, automatic climate control, navigation and a Harman Kardon audio system.
Orders for the BMW M3 CS will open in January 2018 with production slated to begin in March 2018. Only 1,200 units will be produced, 550 of which will be coming to the United States. Pricing details are yet to be announced.
