The 2025 BMW M4 CS cranks things up a notch with its beastly 3.0L M TwinPower Turbo inline-six, now revving up to a whopping 543 horsepower—a solid 20 hp jump from the M4 Competition Coupe with M xDrive. This surge in power comes from fine-tuning the M TwinPower Turbo tech, cranking up the boost pressure of the twin mono-scroll turbochargers to 30.5 psi. These tweaks not only boost the throttle response but also maintain the engine’s robustness and reliability. In short, the M4 CS is dialed in to deliver some serious grunt without breaking a sweat, setting it apart as a real powerhouse on the road. It makes the same 543 horsepower as the BMW M4 CSL from 2023.
The chassis on the M4 CS gains fine-tuned adjustments from the ground up, including axle kinematics, wheel camber settings, and the smart integration of auxiliary springs and anti-roll bars that sharpen the car’s reflexes on the road. Plus, a custom Adaptive M Suspension and electromechanical M Servotronic steering system with a variable ratio.
BMW M4 CS Styling and Interior
The BMW M4 CS doesn’t just perform well—it looks the part too, thanks to distinctive styling elements and a thoughtfully designed interior. Externally, it features exclusive forged light-alloy V-spoke wheels available in matte Gold Bronze or matte Black, complemented by high-performance tires that underscore its sporty pedigree.
Inside, the BMW coupe boasts M Carbon bucket seats that merge track-ready functionality with long-distance comfort, upholstered in premium Merino leather with a striking Black/Red color scheme. The cockpit is further enhanced by a 3-spoke M Alcantara steering wheel with red center striping and carbon fiber shift paddles, adding a touch of racing flair. This blend of sophisticated interior aesthetics with advanced technology, including the latest BMW iDrive system with M-specific graphics on a curved display, creates a cabin atmosphere that is as luxurious as it is performance-focused.
