Amazing Wagon, Absurd Price? (BMW M3 CS Touring 2026 Review)

The BMW M3 CS Touring is perhaps the ultimate version of the G80/G81 M3 chassis, but for most people, the CS Touring won’t be the sweet spot even if it is an incredible fast wagon. Chasing Cars founder Tom Baker reviews the 2026 BMW M3 CS Touring xDrive, including interior commentary, practicality, fuel economy, the S58 engine, CS steering and suspension changes, and of course driving dynamics. Key rivals include the regular M3 Touring, along with options like the Audi RS4/RS5.
