Overview
- BMW announced Monday the limited‑run 2027 M3 CS Handschalter with a six‑speed manual, rear‑wheel drive, and the S58 set to 473 hp and 406 lb‑ft to suit the manual’s torque limits, with a quoted 0–60 mph time of 4.1 seconds.
- The special edition is North America‑only in very limited numbers, with a public reveal on May 23 at the Petersen Automotive Museum, production starting in July, and first deliveries planned for the fall.
- Engineers lowered the car 6 mm and retuned springs, dampers from the M4 CSL, axle kinematics, and control maps for steering, engine, differential, and gearbox to match the manual, rear‑drive setup.
- Extensive carbon‑fiber parts and a titanium rear silencer cut weight, and choosing the optional M Carbon Ceramic brakes brings total savings to about 75 pounds versus a standard manual M3.
- Pricing starts at $107,100 before a $1,350 destination fee, with $4,500 Individual paints and $600 ultra‑track tires available, and BMWBLOG reports Canada will receive only 40 cars.
