2025 BMW M3 CS Touring is fastest wagon around the Nurburgring – 7:29.49, 550 PS, 650 Nm, 0-100 km/h 3.5s

The 2025 BMW M3 CS Touring is now the fastest wagon around the Nurburgring, posting a time of 7:29.49 to beat its non-CS sibling’s 7:35.06 set in 2022. It joins a string of impressive ‘Ring times held by its M brethren that include the M4 CSL‘s 7:18.137, the M4 CS‘ 7:21.989 and the M3 CS‘ 7:28.76.

Unveiled in January, the M3 CS Touring has a 550 PS/650 Nm 3.0 litre twin-turbo straight-six, an eight-speed M Steptronic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a rear Active M Differential. 0-100 km/h takes 3.5 seconds; top speed is 300 km/h.

A specially-designed engine mounting with increased spring rates creates a rigid connection between the power unit and the vehicle structure, while M-specific exhausts with electrically-controlled flaps, a titanium rear silencer and quad matte black tailpipes emphasise purpose and presence.

Optimised have been the super wagon’s DSC system, M Dynamic Mode, the adaptive M suspension’s electronically-controlled dampers, M Servotronic steering and integrated braking system, and you can direct up to all of the power to the back wheels if you want.

Standard are M Compound brakes with red or black callipers; you can pay more for carbon ceramics with red or matte gold callipers. The wheels are 19-inchers up front and 20s out back. Carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) features in the bonnet, front splitter, front air intakes, mirror caps, rear diffuser, shift paddles, interior trim and centre console.

Inside, you’ll find Merino leather M Carbon bucket seats with integrated headrests that feature an illuminated ‘CS’ badge, an Alcantara steering wheel with red 12 o’clock marker, a red ‘CS’ badge on the centre console, M seat belts and, obviously, M-specific functions such as M Drift Analyser and M Laptimer.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.
