The M3 CS retains four seats.
S58 · Inline-six
S58 straight-six engine-family reference. Output and installation remain specific to each car.
S58 · Petrol
The G80 M3 CS uses an uprated 3.0-litre S58 with two mono-scroll turbochargers. Carbon-fibre body and cabin components reduce mass while retaining a four-seat layout.
Two exhaust-driven turbochargers
Exhaust energy turns a turbine connected to an intake-air compressor. Charge-air cooling reduces the heat added as the air is compressed. The displayed turbo count describes the selected engine.
M xDrive all-wheel drive
The eight-speed M Steptronic transmission works with M xDrive and an Active M Differential. The chassis and stability-control settings are tuned specifically for the CS.
