BMW will be releasing an all-new M4 CS, following on from the previous generation’s model that last appeared in 2017. The M4 CS will share much of its underpinnings with the M3 CS super-saloon that BMW released in January and will slot between the standard M4 and the flagship M4 CSL.
The M4 CS will feature a sizeable bump in power over the standard model. It will also feature the same xDrive all-wheel-drive system as its M3 CS brethren. We expect the same state of tune found in the M3 CS to appear in the M4 CS. It’s a similar powerplant that already features in the M4 CSL and outputs 542 hp (549 PS / 404 kW).

The CS won’t go to the weight-saving lengths of the CSL, but will likely shed some pounds from its original spec. The M3 CS uses a liberal amount of carbon for elements such as its hood, seats, and spoiler, so expect the same philosophy to be employed here. It’ll be a similar story for the chassis tweaks, changes to the differential, upgraded body parts, and added sticky tires.
Autocar quotes the CEO of BMW M, Franciscus van Meel, as saying that the M4 CS will arrive in showrooms in the middle of next year.

Also making an appearance next year will be a range of subtle changes to BMW M’s core sedans and M4 coupe. Both the BMW M3 and M4 will be getting a facelift. We’ve already seen some facelifted M3 and M4 prototypes undergoing testing, with its LCI update looking to be subtle if nothing else. Spy shots suggest that a new set of headlights is coming, although whether a bump in power is on the cards remains to be seen.
Last but not least, the report confirms that the 2025 MY M5 and M5 Touring models will land next year. The new versions of the M5 will be the first-ever to get hybrid power, borrowing tech used in the BMW XM flagship SUV. Rumors have suggested that we can expect the fast saloon’s power figures to be in the region of 790 hp (588 kW / 800 PS) and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque which, if accurate, would begin to encroach on supercar turf.
