BMW's Ultimate Sports Wagon Makes Its Mark in Spain
The highly anticipated BMW M3 CS Touring, BMW's first-ever CS-badged performance wagon, has officially touched down on Spanish roads, making a statement with its head-turning Laguna Seca Blue finish. This exclusive sports wagon, based on the acclaimed G81 generation, elevates everyday practicality with track-honed performance, solidifying its status as the ultimate family hauler for driving enthusiasts.
Exclusive Colors and Striking Design
The M3 CS Touring stands out not only for its engineering pedigree but also its bold color palette. Buyers can choose from four distinctive finishes: the iconic Laguna Seca Blue, Sapphire Black, Frozen Solid White, and the classic British Racing Green. While most global models get matte Gold Bronze alloy wheels, the Spanish-spec M3 CS Touring is equipped with aggressive matte black wheels, giving it a stealthy and purposeful look.
Engineered for Performance: Specs and Features
Under the hood, the M3 CS Touring packs a powerful punch thanks to its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six, delivering razor-sharp acceleration and exceptional handling. As part of BMW’s M Competition Sport series, this wagon features advanced chassis tuning, M xDrive all-wheel drive, and the latest innovations from BMW’s high-performance M division. The result is a station wagon capable of outperforming many dedicated sports cars, making it a standout both on the road and track. Carbon-ceramic brakes are available as an option for those seeking ultimate stopping power.
Pricing and Exclusivity
Getting behind the wheel of this versatile luxury performance wagon does come at a premium. In Spain, the BMW M3 CS Touring starts at €196,150 before options. Opting for standout Individual paint will cost an extra €6,260, while upgrading to carbon-ceramic brakes adds another €12,648, easily pushing the total price beyond €200,000. Despite the high price tag, demand will likely outstrip supply: BMW has confirmed that the M3 CS Touring will be produced in strictly limited numbers over just one year, with global output rumored to remain under 2,000 units.
Market Position and Rivals
Positioned at the peak of the high-performance wagon segment, the M3 CS Touring offers a unique blend of practicality and motorsport DNA. It outpaces rivals with its blend of daily usability and exhilarating speed, catering to drivers who refuse to compromise.
What's Next for BMW's CS Lineup?
With global enthusiasts eagerly awaiting more CS models, speculation is rife that BMW will extend the CS philosophy to the upcoming M5 lineup, in both Sedan and Touring forms, although this is expected to arrive after the G90/G99 facelift in 2027.
