BMW M5 CS – PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS.
Driving dynamics and design features of the BMW M5 CS.
The most powerful BMW M5 there has ever been: the BMW M5 CS. Reduced in weight by 70 kg, it delivers groundbreaking performance figures and BMW M5 genes down to the smallest detail. With exclusive suspension, lightweight-construction and design components, only available for this model, it achieves a unique character in terms of performance and premium sports aspirations. On the exterior, exclusive design highlights such as carbon elements and accents in Gold Bronze underline its supremacy both aerodynamically and optically. The motor racing character continues in the interior with sporty M carbon bucket seats featuring a Nürburgring silhouette on the headrests and red contrast stitching together with a 2-seater lightweight-construction rear bench unit.

M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine.
With 467 kW (635 hp) and 750 Nm of torque, the M TwinPower Turbo 8-cylinder petrol engine accelerates the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds. Thanks to two TwinScroll turbochargers, High-Precision Injection and Valvetronic fully variable valve control, the 4.4-litre engine delivers energetic thrust even from low rpms, direct responsiveness and tremendous power.
Weight reduction.
The intelligent mix of materials with carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) as well as special lightweight measures reduce the weight while increasing the agility and performance of the BMW M5 CS.
M Carbon ceramic brake Red high-gloss.
The M Carbon ceramic brake delivers braking power more directly. It is non-corrosive, very resistant to abrasion, tolerates more heat and contributes to a lower vehicle weight, which has a positive impact on agility, dynamics and acceleration. The special technical equipment is visible through brake calipers in the colour Red high-gloss with M logo on the outside. Due to specific material properties, increased operating noise may occur during braking, e.g. in case of prolonged, low load or in wet conditions shortly before vehicle standstill. The design-related noise can be avoided by braking the brake dry in case of wetness or loading the brake more heavily after a long, low braking load. The influence of wetness and road salt cause brake effectiveness to correspond to that of a conventional brake system. This reduced braking power can be compensated for with a greater pressure on the pedal. The functional noises have no influence on the performance, operational safety and stability of the brake.
