The next story in the BMW M lineup will be unveiled this week as the new M4 CS prepares to show its design and tech at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show. Just a few months ago, a selected group of journalists, including BMWBLOG, had the chance to see M4 CS behind closed doors. Some of these information are still under embargo, but several others leaked onto the interwebs recently.

Images of the super sporty M4 Coupe were leaked February during a BMW commercial filmed in California. Professional driver Augusto Farfus has taken the reigns of the M4 CS showcasing its driving capabilities on video. Today, a new set of teaser images arrive from China, showing some of the design cues of the M4 CS.
The front end gets the facelifted headlights, along with the power dome hood from the M4 GTS. A unique carbon fiber front splitter is also part of the package, along with a new set of wheels and carbon ceramic brakes.
The biggest changes come in the rear though. Just like the M4 GTS, the M4 CS sports coupe features OLED taillights which thanks to their graphics, give the car a more exclusive look. A newly developed carbon fiber trunk lip and a rear diffuser round up the changes in the back. There will be some changes to the exhaust system as well, but more on that at launch time.
There will be some other changes inside the car as well and under the hood, but more on that this week.
I’m excited for this but i also don’t get why the M3 is so left out goddamn give it some shine too. An M3 CS with a bit more power, a more agressive look and sound, and Cup 2 tyres to top it off would be PERFECT to properly fight the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
I fear the current M3 will be the last one. I believe next gen “M3” will be replaced by M4 GC.
No way, I don’t see any reason for that to happen. The 3 Series will keep its RWD architecture, so there will still be an M3. An M4 GC would be better than an M3 imo because the 4 GC is sportier than the current 3 Series, both in looks and driving dynamics. :)
I wouldn’t worry about that. The 3 series saloon will still be BMW’s bread and butter, whereas the 4GC might no exist at al in the next generation. If they want a 4 door M car beneath the M5, it’ll have to be the M3.
it was the stupidest decision to divide m4 and m3 :/ imho
