BMW greeted the New Year in 2025 with one heck of a reveal: the M3 CS Touring. It serves as the most powerful version of the long-roof M3 with 550 PS (+40 PS) thanks to hardware upgrades and more powerful turbos. The result is a 0 – 100 km/h sprint time of 3.5 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h.

After being launched in Europe last year, it looks like BMW Philippines is already preparing for the M3 CS Touring's eventual debut. The Land Transportation Office (LTO) recently gave SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp. clearance to have the M3 CS Touring in the country.

Based on an approved memorandum circular, the BMW M3 CS Touring for the Philippines will be powered by a 2993cc gasoline engine, which is the 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-six that generates 550 PS and 650 Nm of torque. It has also been listed to have a maximum speed of 300 km/h and will measure 4796mm long, 1918mm wide, and 1447mm tall.

Like most high-performance vehicles, the M3 CS Touring will have a staggered wheel/tire setup. The wagon is equipped with 275/35 series tires that are shod in 19-inch alloy wheels in the front and 285/30 series tires in the back with massive 20-inch alloys.

With BMW Philippines already confirming the X1 PHEV for February 2026, we're curious if the brand is looking to launch the M3 CS Touring next. Since they already have the M3 Touring since 2023, it's only natural to bring the most powerful version yet of the wagon.

The only question now is, how much will the M3 Touring CS cost? As a reminder, the regular M3 Touring already costs over PHP 10.49 million, while the M3 CS Sedan is already selling for over PHP 16 million.
