Made for those who value engagement as much as performance, the BMW M3 CS Handschalter is a rare expression of precision engineering and driver connection. Lightweight CS architecture meets the purity of a 6-speed manual, creating a focused, analog experience reserved for a select few who still believe driving should be felt in every shift.
Exterior.
Gold Bronze, Perfect Stance.
Available in either a striking gold bronze or a stealthy matte black finish, the CS-exclusive style 827M wheels give the BMW M3 CS Handschalter a sharper, more purposeful stance. Their design ties the whole car together with a sense of focus, presence, and unmistakable M character.
A Motorsport Light Signature.
Inspired by endurance racing, the M Headlights with Yellow Icons bring a focused, track-born character to the M3 CS Handschalter.
Lightweight by Design.
The carbon fibre hood with exposed channels gives the M3 CS Handschalter a purposeful, motorsport-derived look. A visual signature that feels both technical and unmistakably M.
An Unmistakable Identity.
The motorsport-inspired kidney grille, framed by a red outline and sporting an M3 CS badge, gives the M3 CS Handschalter a focused and unmistakable front-end identity. A detail that quietly signals its place in the CS lineage.
Performance.
Connection in Every Shift.
The 6-speed manual transmission defines the M3 CS Handschalter as something more personal, where every shift is part of the experience, not just the process.
An Absolute Power Unit.
Powered by the S58 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo inline-six cylinder engine producing 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, the M3 CS Handschalter pairs familiar performance with the sharper, more focused character of the CS chassis, combined with the added involvement of a 6-speed manual.
The standard lightweight M front end strut brace enhances chassis rigidity and steering precision, giving the M3 CS an even sharper, more connected feel through corners.
Sheer Confidence Under Braking.
The standard M Compound Brakes with red calipers deliver confident stopping power and everyday performance, while available M Carbon Ceramic Brakes offer exceptional fade resistance under demanding conditions and can be specified with either red or gold calipers for a distinctive finishing touch.
Interior.
Held in Through Every Corner.
M Carbon Bucket Seats provide firm, supportive structure for focused driving, wrapped in Black Full Merino Leather with Mugello Red accents that add a subtle contrast and visual depth to the cabin. A blend of precision and refined sport character.
The Art of Reduction.
Finished in carbon fibre, the centre console with CS lettering brings a focused, stripped-back clarity to the interior, where every surface serves a purpose and nothing is added witout reason.
