BMW's 4-Series range has undergone a mid-cycle update for the 2025. As part of this update, the high-performance M4 coupe has introduced a CS grade. In the previous year, BMW crafted a limited run of more potent, track-focused M4s bearing the iconic CSL badge. While these models featured rear-wheel drive, the closely-related M3 CS offered the same engine enhancements on an all-wheel drive platform. The eagerly awaited option has now made its way to the two-door BMW compact in the form of the M4 CS.
