THE FAST AND THE PRACTICAL.

The BMW M3 CS Touring is the fastest touring car on the Nürburgring. The BMW M3 CS Touring realises the fastest lap time ever recorded for a touring car in the mid-size category on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Racing driver and BMW M development engineer Jörg Weidinger has put the brand promise that the BMW M3 CS Touring would combine racing DNA with everyday practicality to the test. Turns out: promise kept.

7:29.490 Min.

is the lap time that Jörg Weidinger brought in at the wheel of the BMW M3 CS Touring, setting a new lap record for the Nürburgring Nordschleife. A fantastic time for the model that combines the performance of an M3 CS with the space of an estate car.
From the very beginning, it was clear that the BMW M3 CS Touring would set new standards in dynamics. With a time under 7:30 minutes, this model impressively demonstrates that this vehicle concept perfectly combines racing DNA with everyday usability.

Test-driving their models to the limits on the legendary Nordschleife of the Nürburgring is a tradition at BMW M. On what is probably the most difficult racetrack in the world, a BMW M gets to show how much M it has in it. In the case of the BMW M3 CS Touring: a whole lot. With the recorded lap time, the M3 CS Touring is the fastest estate car on the Nürburgring.
