Description
The current owner of this M3 CS Touring clearly thought “it needs just a bit more”. Before even taking delivery, the car was sent straight to Topaz for a full matte PPF, setting the tone for what was to follow. After just 1, 500 miles, it then visited BMW master Tom Wrigley for the final layer of enhancement.

Experience
This is a true Jekyll and Hyde machine. Calm, refined and effortless when cruising, yet utterly ferocious when you open the exhaust valves or engage the M modes on the steering wheel. Few cars on a UK B-road will live with it. The xDrive system delivers huge grip and confidence, while still retaining that unmistakable rear-wheel-drive feel that defines every great M car.
Summary
This CS Touring has been elevated to another level entirely. The step change from a standard CS feels as significant as the jump from a 340i to a full M3 — yet it never feels like a “tuner” car. It’s simply been levelled up.
Combining everyday usability with genuinely supercar-rivalling performance, and produced for just 12 months with only 1, 800–2, 000 cars worldwide, this is one of the rarest and most desirable M3s ever built. It also benefits from being VAT-qualifying.
