Lighter carbon-fiber parts, added muscle everywhere, and a top speed that trips a limiter at 186mph are the highlights of BMW’s upcoming M3 CS Touring xDrive. And it’s something BMW has never done before. Sure, the Bavarian automaker has made a few M3 wagons in its time, but it’s never made a CS range-topping version before.

The U.S. received an M3 CS sedan as a limited edition for the 2024 model year, but don’t expect the wagon to make it here, as the regular M3 Touring remains off-limits for our market. BMW does offer the larger and more powerful M5 Touring here, however.

The M3 CS Touring is expected to follow the same formula as the M3 CS sedan that was sold in 2024, which means extra power and less weight.

While it's unlikely that BMW will reverse course and start selling an M3 wagon in America in time for the M3 CS Touring, U.S. buyers looking for a new M car with a long roof do have an option. The newest M5 is also sold as a wagon, and it comes complete with 717 horsepower of plug-in hybrid fury.
