We bring you the first sighting of the G80 M3 CS! This prototype bears the special signs of a CS model - front lip spoiler, CS style trunk spoiler, staggered wheel sizes.

In addition, expect the G80 M3 CS to feature a similar host of upgrades as the previous generation F80 M3 CS -- upgraded power, unique exhaust, carbon fiber hood and roof (both of which do not yet appear on this prototype), unique wheels, ultra high performance tires, revised DSC, revised LSD, revised driving modes, microfiber suede interior bits.

The F80 M3 CS only came with DCT transmission, but we're hoping that the G80 M3 CS is offered with manual transmission this time around (in addition to the ZF 8-speed automatic).

The interior shots give us the clearest look yet at the G80 M3's optional carbon fiber bucket seats.

No Power Dome?

I'm loving those new seats, wonder if it's a possibility to retrofit those to the older models.

[Aaaaaaaaa]

There's gonna be more G80 trims than the G20

[solstice]

Have they added off-road mode to the suspension of the CS this time around...?

[Ghostriderf80]

Sunroof on a CS?? The interior is very amazing, but its jacked up so high. Must be for US market, circa 1990.

It looks way off. BMW style has ended with the F8x and F9x...

Not sure if this is the CS, might just be a comp with M performance parts/wheels.

I think the new body style is gonna look a lot better than we expect.... looks like sadly that have a all electronic dash now no gauges which I do hate.

For real lol. These new generations are no longer bmws. Idec about the rumors anymore

[SlammedAF3er]

Interior looks cheaper than 2016 and older

[velvet_F82]

F8x CS was peak modern BMW styling IMO. The new cars all look melted and blobby. And don't get me started on how they butchered the kidneys.

still hard to believe they went back to single piston floating caliper on the back.

I don't think this is not a CS but a G80 with M performance parts.

[Bimmercs]

Definetely a G80 M3 CS , tests began earlier than i thought , maybe because of the huge buff in power over the G80 M3 : This is not a normal M3 .

[BossF80]

Maybe they did a study and found out 90% of CS owners don't track and just wanted the most expensive M at the dealer to drive to Starbucks...So sunroof it is 😅

It is Chinese taste car. Lol.

[Loma]

Is that really is a CS? Perhaps it's a Competition with carbon package?

[positiveions]

Love those seats: Vader only on a diet.

[spuntyb]

Ah, yes, the F80 Dealer Markup Series. Can't wait!

[Pic18]

The seats are awesome, but if this is in fact the CS it is way too soon. BMW needs time to work out the kinks with the new car and add those corrections to the CS. If it comes out 6 months after the G80 it basically negates all that time and opportunity to make the CS actually special.

There is so much to see
