The latest review of the M3 CS Touring reveals its impressive capabilities.

BMW M3 CS Touring impresses with high performance

BMW has introduced the M3 CS Touring, which unexpectedly follows the successful M3 saloon and M4 models. Initially, the company planned to keep the Touring model less powerful but decided to create a performance variant after noticing the popularity of its CS models. The M3 CS Touring has already seen a remarkable 57 percent increase in sales since last year's updates. With a price tag starting at £120,600, this wagon retains the high performance of its saloon counterpart and has enhanced features such as adaptive dampers and improved steering. Testing at Thruxton circuit shows that the Touring variant is exciting to drive and offers impressive agility despite its heavier weight, making it a capable performer in various conditions.

The M3 CS Touring challenges perceptions about high-performance wagons by combining versatility with thrilling performance. While its weight could have made it cumbersome, BMW's engineering adjustments ensure it delivers an exhilarating driving experience. This bold move appeals not only to existing M car enthusiasts but also introduces a new audience to BMW's capabilities in the performance wagon segment. With limited production aimed at preserving exclusivity, the CS Touring could become a sought-after model that may redefine expectations for luxury performance vehicles.
