The BMW M4 CS Is A Softened-Up GTS You Probably Can’t Buy
It’s been a while since we last saw a ‘CS’ badge on a BMW, but the company has brought it back for a new edition of the M4 GTS. It’s a softened up version with the half cage replaced with rear seats, and it’ll have less power. Expect it to sit somewhere between the 444bhp offered up by the M4 Competition Pack, and the full-blown 493 put out by the GTS.
It’ll receive a similar aero package to the GTS, and some big helpings of carbonfibre. The wheels look to be of a very similar design to those found on the full-fat GTS, too. Also on the menu are carbon ceramic brakes, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and plush adaptive dampers.
Interested? Chances are you won’t be able to buy one. Firstly because it’ll be very expensive - in the UK the GTS was an eye-watering £121,770 - secondly because only 60 will be made, and thirdly because it’s being built exclusively for the Spanish market. Boo.

Na whyyyy
Can’t they just call it the M4 CSL
Wouldn’t be fitting to their market.
I mean, the E46 M3 CSL was faster around the Nürburgring than the base M4…
And the GTS is the CSL’s replacement, kinda. Or a mix of both the M3 GTR and CSL.
Wait why only Spain?
because “spanish economics is good so they can afford it”-end of ironic coment
Oh no 60 rich guys in the UK won’t be able to buy an overpriced bmw? What a disaster….
Could it be possible that BMW’s marketing division discoverd that all Spanish people hate rollbars?
Marketing is out of control.
BMW sales rep on the phone:
“You vant a haardcor szportscar mein Herr? But it iz too haardcor for you? Zertainly, we will make your haardcor car less haardcor for you. You wouldnt vant your haardcor car to be too haardcor vould you? Perfectly logical dezision.”
On point
That’s such a low-effort teaser… please try a little harder, BMW.
“ultimate teasing machine”
Oh, BMW did this once, but for Spain and Portugal only with a car called the 320is. It’s basically a narrow body M3 with an S14 destroked to 2 litres so it could sneak past tax rules.
Not Spain, but Italy. :)
“You probably can’t buy”
Don’t worry, i didn’t expect to own any kind of vehicle except for my 2006 lagend.
First time I am glad I live in Spain.
