THE BRAND-NEW M3 CS (F80) "THE BEST VERSION OF THE BEST VERSION"

The #F80 M3 CS has officially undergone development testing. What that means for BMW enthusiasts is the M3 will have a new top-model that sits above the standard and competition level variants in terms of track performance. Up until now the CS has only been featured in the M4. BMW has redesigned their #S55 engine to now achieve 460 horsepower ( 338 kW) and 442 lb-ft of torque (600 Nm). This is achieved by taking advantage of enhanced tuning rather than adopting the GTS' water injection tech as originally speculated. In addition the M3 CS will gain lightweight features from the GTS including the carbon fibre hood, revised doors and the CS’s M Performance wheels. Disappointing however is what appears to be the lack of OLED taillights which were a staple of the M4 CS, that apparently didn’t make in to the M3 in favour of the LCI LED’s. Let me know what you guys think and stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming M3 CS.
