2025 BMW M4 CS - First Drive Review!

🚨 RBR Partners

---

Welcome back to RBR! And this is the LCI of the new #BMW M4 is here, but #BMWM haven’t delayed in adding more M to it from the get go, with the new CS! It’s meant to be the Goldilocks version of the M4, sitting inbetween the CSL and the M4. But unlike the M4 CSL which is based on the RWD version of the M4 - our CS starts with the XDrive M4 Competition as its basis, and thus is all wheel driven.

We found previously that the M3 CS is 100% a level above the standard car, one that really follows on from the brilliance of the M5 CS. So high hopes for this mid level special edition!

We start with power, ripped straight from CSL. The engine gives 550HP thanks to more boost pressure at 2.1 to the turbos, allowing a bettered 0-60 of 3.4 seconds (much much faster than the 3.9 of the CSL!). The Engine has a dynamic mounting with increased spring rates which = a more responsive engine! That is paired to an updated ZF 8 speed with faster shifts.

Don’t be too worried about the XDrive: this one comes with an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, keeping it rear biased and allowing for drift mode just like the M5! The rear diff also gets a new oil-cooling set-up for the multi-plate clutch pack, and revisions to the rear differential

The whole Adaptive M suspension has a unique set up for the CS too - with unique tuning for the shock absorbers, axle kinematics new wheel camber settings, new damper units, new auxiliary springs and anti-roll bars… and more!

Finally, a titanium rear silencer gives emotions and saves 4KG. Weight saving otherwise is limited, and nowhere near the 70kg of the CSL. Carbon used in some areas means only saving 20KG vs the normal Xdrive M4.

The interior for the LCI M4 sees updates with the epic New BMW M Steering wheel, this one finished in Alcantara and carbon, also flat bottomed. And it gets BMW OS 8.5 as the newest version — but unlike the CSL we maintain the rear seats!

Today I’ll also show you all the specs available for this car, including Frozen Isle of Man, Riviera Blue, Black Sapphire and Brooklyn Grey!

And we will talk about future cars like the M3 CS Touring and an M2 CS that is undoubtedly on the way! That’s all before driving this car for the first time, at a place where you will even get a glimpse of the New M5! ;)

Just collected my fully optioned low mileage 2019 premium plus facelift C43 coupe with amg perf seats finally after your review from years ago! Watched it so many times prior to buying!

I’ve had my LCI for a month now and I couldn’t imagine it being any more bonkers!! And I do enjoy having a centre console with covered storage especially since there’s no overhead glasses storage haha. Clocked a 2.86s sprint to 60 yesterday too 😊

Prefer the last generation daylight running lights.

Hello - At the 6:40 mark, chassis stiffening or reinforcement was mentioned. Don’t all G8X M cars come with the same suite of chassis braces? The CS comes with chassis braces that other M’s don’t have, for example, the G82 M4 manual transmission car has less or different chassis braces mentioned at the 6:40 mark than other M’s? Please clarify this for me. Thanks! 🙏

The Instant transmission intro never gets old!!

[TheLastRide]

Awesome looking car and one of the best engines BMW released.

[stevenurban]

Everything looks the part but i just can’t get over the looks of the 19” wheel up front and the 20” out back! Just give us 20’s all around!!!

[E-cj]

the headlights are a bit of a downgrade, but it looks like it is possible to swap the old ones in

Bmw pulled a Dodge
When Dodge came out with the Demon. Year later they came out with the Red eye and very close power and ppl were mad.

[kornonacob]
