The 2024 BMW M3 CS (G80) is on its way and it was supposed to make its official reveal<\/a> at the 24 Hours of Daytona, scheduled for the end of the month. However, someone got their hands on the official photos ahead of time and decided to leak them, ruining BMW\u2019s official reveal. So now we can see the new BMW M3 CS (G80) in all of its glory before we were supposed to.<\/p>\n

Design Inspired by the M4 CSL<\/h2>\n

As expected, the BMW M3 CS looks like an M4 CSL<\/a>-lite. It isn\u2019t quite as extreme as the M4 CSL but it does share a lot of the same design features. For instance, it has the same kidney grille (which we already knew from spy photos) and two stripes on the hood, similar to the CSL\u2019s. However, the latter of which are smaller and lack red accents. It also has a similar front lip spoiler.\u00a0Obviously, the M3 CS has four doors, rather than the M4 CSL\u2019s two, so it isn\u2019t as sleek looking.<\/p>\n

The color you see in these photos is Signal Green, which will apparently be one of its factory colors. There\u2019s no word on any other colors that might be available but it\u2019s great to see Signal Green as one of the colors. The M4 CSL\u2019s monochromatic color palette was pretty boring, so the M3 CS is already off to a good start.<\/p>\n

Out back, the 2024 BMW M3 CS has a tiny little spoiler tacked onto the trunk, rather than the integrated rear spoiler of the M4 CSL. And its side skirts are the same as the M4 CSL\u2019s, just fit for four doors.<\/p>\n

M4 CSL Design Inside As Well<\/h2>\n

Inside, the M3 CS\u2019 cabin looks almost identical to the M4 CSL\u2019s. The biggest difference between the two cars\u2019 interiors is the infotainment screen. The BMW M4 CSL sticks with the old iDrive 7 because it\u2019s less distracting and more driver-focused than iDrive 8, which makes it better suited for a track-focused car. However, the M3 CS is supposed to be more of a usable, everyday sort of car, so it gets iDrive 8, which is higher tech and fancier.<\/p>\n

I will say that I\u2019m disappointed that the M3 CS lacks the back seat buckets of the M5 CS<\/a>. Those made the M5 CS feel incredibly special and unique and, since the M5 CS is no longer on sale, it would have been cool to have them in the M3 CS.<\/p>\n

No specs were released with the leaked images so, as of right now, we\u2019ll have to wait until its official Daytona reveal to find out what kind of power it\u2019s packing. Until then, though, you can now see the 2024 BMW M3 CS in all of its green glory.<\/p>\n
