"The BMW M5 CS is the most powerful M5 of all time."

ROAD AND TRACK.
The BMW M5 CS is an exceptional high-performance model with a unique combination of power, driving dynamics, exclusivity and emotional design. As a four-door sedan, it can be used in all situations and is at the same time predestined for fast laps on racetracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife, on which the BMW M engineers did the fine tuning for their suspension set-up. Maximum grip is provided by the standard, high-performance Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, 275/35 at the front and 285/35 at the rear, which have been specially matched to the BMW M5 CS.
AN HISTORIC ABBREVIATION.
The letters CS have a long tradition at BMW and BMW M. Many fans will know the designation from sports coupés like the BMW 3.0 CS, the 3.0 CSi or the legendary 3.0 CSL competition touring cars from the 1970s. Back then, the abbreviation stood for “Coupé Sport”. In the meantime, CS is the symbol for “Competition Sport”, the designation for exclusive BMW M GmbH models with absolute racetrack suitability. The BMW M2 CS, the M3 CS and M4 CS are a part of this tradition. With the BMW M5 CS, the successful high-performance limousine now also gets an exclusive “Competition Sport” version for extraordinary driving experiences.

LIGHTER, STRONGER AND FASTER – THE BMW M CS EDITION MODELS.
BMW M4 CS.
With the BMW M4 CS, launched in early 2017, BMW M put a special edition of the F82 in the spotlight. The limited edition coupé is characterized by a more powerful engine and a suspension set-up designed for racetrack use. Thanks to lightweight bucket seats, a carbon bonnet and roof, along with other measures, the car is 35 kg lighter.
BMW M3 CS.
The BMW M3 CS was launched later in a limited edition of 120 and was only built between March and October 2018. The four-door high-performance sedan offered the perfect combination of motorsport and unlimited everyday use. Lightweight construction was also used on the sedan: the M3 CS’ bonnet, roof, front splitter, gurney and tail diffuser are made of carbon. The weight saving over the BMW M3 is as much as 50 kg.
Both models, the BMW M3 CS and M4 CS, share the straight-6 motor with M TwinTurbo technology and 460 hp. In comparison to the Competition models, the engine provides an additional 10 hp and up to 50 Newton metres more torque.
BMW M2 CS.
The BMW M2 CS is the first exclusive, limited special edition from BMW M GmbH in the premium compact class. As a high-performance vehicle, it is positioned above the BMW M2 Competition and continues the success story of the BMW M3 CS and BMW M4 CS models. The BMW M2 CS also benefits from experiences made in motorsport and thus employs lightweight materials rigorously. Thus, roof and bonnet are made of carbon and are 50 % lighter than their equivalents from the series model. The aerodynamics have also been improved. The striking central air outlet in the bonnet raises downforce and at the same time improves motor cooling. The front splitter, the rear spoiler or Gurney on the tailgate and the rear diffusor are all made of carbon and provide additional downforce. Propulsion is provided by the straight-6 motor with M TwinPower turbo technology and 3.0 litre cubic capacity. In the BMW M2 CS it manages 450 hp, 40 hp more than in the BMW M2 Competition.
BMW M2 CS:
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 10.4 [9.6]

The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.
The values are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. [With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2-emissions the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here.]
The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification.
For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/angebote/verlagsprodukte/leitfaden-kraftstoffverbrauch.html.
