Recently , we obtained a set of test spy photos of the BMW M3 CS Touring from relevant channels. The new car adopts the design of the M3 CS version in terms of design style, and will carry out body weight reduction work and increase the output power of the power system. It is worth mentioning that although the BMW M3 Travel Edition is a non-limited edition, due to production line capacity issues, only about 2,000 units are expected to be produced, and the CS version will be even rarer.

In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a simple banner-style grille with a large-sized double grille design. The headlights on both sides are equipped with yellow LED daytime running lights, which are unique to the CS series. designs, such as M5 CS, M4 CS/CSL, etc. The front enclosure of the new car also uses multi-section ventilation and heat dissipation openings, and is equipped with a front lip with small air wings, making the overall combination more combative. In addition, we noticed that the test car is a sunroof-less version. It is expected that the car will be equipped with a carbon fiber roof to lower the center of gravity of the body.

Looking from the side, the new car still maintains the shape of the travel version, and is equipped with a horn-style rearview mirror housing. The body waistline runs from the side to the rear. The front and rear fenders adopt a wide-body design, which can accommodate large-sized cars. wheels, and the new car will also come standard with a carbon ceramic braking system. The new car is expected to reduce body weight, use more cast aluminum chassis parts and optimize the suspension system.

At the rear of the car, the new car is equipped with a large-sized roof spoiler with a twin-peak style, and is equipped with high-mounted brake lights and a rear window wiper; the new car's taillights remain unchanged in shape, with a rectangular light set and an L-style light source. It has a certain degree of recognition after lighting up. The rear enclosure of the new car is equipped with a rear diffuser device and an exhaust system with four outlets on both sides.

In terms of interior, the new car has little change from the current M3. It will be equipped with a curved dual screen and an iDrive 8.5 car-computer system. In terms of power, the new car will share the powertrain with the M3 CS, equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 550 horsepower. The transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission and an xDrive four-wheel drive system.

BMW once launched the M3 Touring with the chassis code E46 as a travel version of the M3 in the form of a concept car, but unfortunately there has been no mass production plan. The BMW M3 Touring Edition with chassis code G81 is not only the first-generation mass-produced model, but may also be the last generation of pure fuel M3 Touring Edition. Due to its rare production, it is destined to be an item that only a few people can own. There is no news that the new BMW M3 Touring Edition may be introduced into the country, but because it is unofficial news, it is not true. Please refer to the official BMW for specific information.
