It's coming! The 2025 BMW M4 CS is a wicked two-door confirmed for Australia to take on old-guard rivals like the AMG C63 and Audi RS4

The M4 CS slots in between the Competition and CSL.

It could have been predicted, given the BMW M3 CS exists, but there’s now a two-door CS-badged Bimmer with a little more power and a little less mass than the M4 Competition - and it’s already available to order in Australia.

Only fifty will land here, with customers to take delivery of their M4s in Q4 2024, so long as they can fork out $254,900 before on-road costs.

The 2025 BMW M4 CS scores the same 405kW and 650Nm outputs as the M3 version, that power figure being 15kW north of the Competition's and 52kW more than the standard M4 thanks to more boost pressure, 2.1 bar specifically.

Those high-boost twin-turbochargers are attached to an inline six-cylinder engine, which drives all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and allows the M4 CS to hit 100km/h from standstill in just 3.4 seconds, claims the Bavarian brand.

BMW has even taken the Mercedes-AMG C63 and Audi RS4 Performance rival to the Nurburgring, where it lapped the unforgiving 20.8km circuit in 7 minutes and 21.989 seconds - the M3 CS did it in 7:28.760.

The M4 CS is lighter than the M4 Competition.

Through extensive use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), the M4 CS is lighter than the M4 Competition, but only by 20kg for a 1760kg kerb weight.

More bespoke parts for the M4 CS include its chassis set-up, designed for “elevated road and track handling potential”. Its adaptive LED headlights borrow the yellow headlight signature from BMW’s GT racers and its tail-lights feature fibre optic bundles inside.

Only fifty will land here.

Behind its lightweight staggered (19-inch front, 20-inch rear) wheels, which are wrapped in track tyres, are either ‘M Compound’ brakes with red callipers or optional M Carbon ceramic brakes.

Of course, the biggest giveaway is the exposed carbon fibre on the roof and in the bonnet, as well as the lower body trim and its red contour around the large kidney grille.

Four colours can be chosen: M Brooklyn Grey metallic, Black Sapphire metallic, Riviera Blue or Frozen Isle of Man Green Metallic, while its lightweight alloys can be had in black or ‘Gold Bronze’.

It scores the same 405kW and 650Nm outputs as the M3.

Racing video games, car-spotting on road trips, and helping wash the family VL Calais Turbo as a kid were all early indicators that an interest in cars would stay present in Chris’ life, but loading up his 1990 VW Golf GTI Mk2 and moving from hometown Brisbane to work in automotive publishing in Melbourne ensured cars would be a constant. With a few years as MOTOR Magazine’s first digital journalist under his belt, followed by a stint as a staff journalist for Wheels Magazine, Chris’ career already speaks to a passion for anything with four wheels, especially the 1989 Mazda MX-5 he currently owns. From spending entire weeks dissecting the dynamic abilities of sports cars to weighing up the practical options for car buyers from all walks of life, Chris’ love for writing and talking about cars means if you’ve got a motoring question, he can give you an answer.
