The covers have just come off the all-new BMW M4 CS. The newest member in the automaker's lineup is meant to be a bridge between the ultra-rare and hardcore M4 GTS and the normal M4 available to all. The new two-door boasts 460 horsepower and a limited top speed of 174 mph. It has a racier look than the regular M4 yet the exterior isn't as performance-focused as the GTS model it sits under.
Like the GTS, the BMW M4 CS will be put into limited production, with only 3,000 units planned. That won't make a huge dent in overall sales, but that's not what this model is meant to do. The BMW M4 CS is meant to bring eyeballs to the brand and to tell rivals that the Bavarian automaker is dead set on filling every gap in its lineup.
