The M3 BMW Should Have Always Built

The CS badge finally comes with a manual transmission. It took over 40 years to get here.

Carros Bem Montados

473 HP Through a Clutch Pedal

The S58 inline-six from the M4 GT3 racing engine. All of it goes to the rear wheels only.

75 Pounds Lighter Than the Standard M3

Carbon fiber roof, hood, diffuser and spoiler. Every piece earns its place on this car.

Red Grille. Yellow Daytime Running Lights.

Both details come straight from BMW's GT race cars. On a street car, they signal serious intent.

Full Bucket Seats Come Standard

M Carbon seats in black and red Merino leather. Comfortable enough — until you hit city traffic.

10-Stage Traction Control

The driver chooses how much the rear steps out. With 473 hp and no AWD, that control matters.

North America Only. No Exceptions.

Limited production, restricted market. No official sales in Europe, the UK or anywhere else.

Starting at $108,450

Road & Track already calls it a guaranteed future classic. The market tends to agree early on these.

The Last Great Analog M3

Manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, exposed carbon. The G80 generation ends on the highest possible note.
