The BMW M4 CSL might well be called a sports coupe. Last year it was BMW’s fastest and fastest, but now they’ve made the 2024 BMW M3 CS , and it’s faster than the sports coupe we talked about.

Just as the BMW M4 CSL is built on the basis of the M4 Competition sports coupe , the 2024 BMW M3 CS is also based on the M3 Competition sports sedan, and at the end there is the letter “L” which means “light weight” or lightness, but with the letter “C”. which means “competition” or competition and “S” which means “sport” or pleasure. So it made him still receive the same full assignment

Starting from the outside this if only by the eyes it may seem that it differs from the original model only in the grille and wheels that have been changed to the same as the M4 CSL model,

But actually. It also comes with many different carbon fiber reinforced plastic and carbon fiber reinforced plastic parts.

The hood, front bumper lip, air filter duct, side mirror housing, rear diffuser and rear spoiler also have a titanium muffler. Which helps to lose weight from the original by up to 4 kilograms

Inside the passenger compartment, an insect repellent material made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic is also used, including in the interior console, paddle shifters and M Carbon front bucket seats. As a result, the car is 20 kg lighter than the BMW M3 Competition Sedan equipped with M xDrive.

In addition to lighting, group tuning, body stiffening and suspension are also important. Because when you open the hood you will find a new engine compartment frame. Which looks bigger than before but is lighter and stronger. Because it is well machined aluminum work and of course, it will increase the stability of the chassis during the engine compartment from the vibration of the suspension as well.

In addition, BMW has also modified the camber angle group, shock absorber stiffness and spring stiffness.  With the new front and rear stabilizer bars, a full range of aspects of the drive system from the gear train to the reverse gear have been completely re-mapped. For sharp and stable balance even brake pads It is also a specification of M.

The set of wheels is a V-shaped forged alloy wheel, similar to the M4 CSL, with 275/35 ZR19 tires at the front and 285/30 ZR20 tires at the rear.

Where did you come from when leaving the factory? Depending on the purpose of the customer, the car will be used in everyday life or will go directly to the race at all

And, of course, even an artificial intelligence system that controls many different driver assistance systems, including ABS, ASC, M Dynamic Mode (MDM), integrated wheel slip reduction , CBC (Curve Brake Control) and DBC (Dynamic Brake Control), dry braking function, Driving Stop Assistant, DSC, M xDrive all-wheel drive system, Active M Differentia and Adaptive M suspension have been reworked.

The aspect of the engine, which is the main highlight. Of course, it will be a huge set of mods. The engine setup uses the same technology used in the BMW M4 GT3 and BMW M4 DTM racing cars, such as forged crankshafts. without bearings (strong enough not to require bearings reduces extra weight),

Cylinder blocks with no gaps between sleeves Reinforcement – Strengthens and helps the engine support a higher compression ratio, the 3D Print cylinder head is designed to provide more thorough cooling water passages. In addition to the engine oil passages, the turbo boost pressure increased from 1.7 bar to 2.1 bar, etc.

Smoothed out improvements result from the power from the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged in-line engine,

The S58 Code can rev to a maximum engine speed of 7,200 rpm and has increased horsepower to 550 at 6,250 rpm with maximum torque of 650 Nm. It can be throttled from 2750rpm to 5950rpm (constant torque)

And due to the modification of the eight-speed automatic transmission with the new drive system, therefore,

It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 11.1 seconds, followed by a sprint from 80-120 km/h in 2.6 seconds when driving in fourth gear.or 3.3 seconds when driving in gear Fifth

Almost every setting is faster than the M4 CSL except for top speed. That is locked at 302 km/h because the M4 CSL is locked at a slightly higher speed at 307 km/h. But that’s understandable, because the M3 CS comes with all-wheel drive, not two rear wheels like the comparison. (But on the M4 CSL course running part, the time per lap could still be pressed better anyway. Because of the body weight and other better settings)

Final update What happened to these races is that the car’s electronic management system has been replaced with the latest BMW Operating System 8 software, which will work with the new curved display. Which connects 14.9-inch Car Information Display with 12.3-inch Touch Screen

In addition to that, the infotainment system screens that. There are also many other important sub-functions to display,

Including BMW Live Cockpit Professional, BMW Map Navigation and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant that enhance cabin comfort. Wireless charging, in-car Wi-Fi, split air conditioning, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.

While passenger assistance and safety features include Park Distance Control, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Speed ​​Limit Information System, Driving Assistant and Park Assist are also available as optional extras.

BMW hasn’t revealed how many units the 2024 BMW M3 CS will sell. But at least it’s stated that it will sell for $118,700, or about 4 million baht, in the US. As for Thailand, when does it kick off? How much will you sell? You still have to wait for the next update
