If you assumed BMW could not churn out any more drama out of the already impressive M5, I have some advice. BMW is mounting the CS moniker to the famed car. Like the M4 CS and the M2 CS, the M5 CS cranks up the horsepower and strips down the load. This might be the ultimate way for BMW fans to drive you and your buddies to your local track day. 2022 BMW M5 CS Price and Release date The M5 CS reaches dealerships in the next half of 2021 with a starting price of $142,995. Its arrival sets the M5 along with side other M cars that have taken the CS therapy. BMW also provides an M2 CS. Also, there were CS variants of their previous-generation M3 and M4. 2022 BMW M5 CS Powertrain and Performance Under the hood is the well-known 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, tuned here to produce 627 horsepower. In contrast, the standard the M5 produces 600 hp, and the M5 Competition advances to 617 horses. All three versions make the identical 553 pound-feet of torque. That power moves through the xDrive all-wheel-drive system before soaring the CS from a dead stop to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and to 124 mph in 10 seconds. The top speed is limited to 190 mph. The V-8's 10-hp bump over the M5 Competition might not look substantial. However, the 230 lbs of weight loss is undoubtedly an ample amount -5 percent of M5 Competition's 4,370-pound curb weight. To help you benefit from the ability mentioned above, BMW has got the suspension lowered by 0.2 inches. The springs are now ten percent more. BMW additionally included stiffer-engine mounts. The driver can toggle swiftly between the ROAD, SPORT, and TRACK settings using the M Mode button. The two, red-painted M1 and M2 buttons make it possible to change quickly between setups. Drivers can use these buttons to compose two individual setups with their choice of M xDrive, DSC, engine, transmission, chassis, steering, and braking characteristics. Dynamic damping control Assists the driver to take charge of the game as the M5 CS can be and soften or stiffen on-demand, and track-oriented Pirelli P Zero Corsa‘s can be added as a no-cost option. At the push of the button, the driver can choose to drive the rear wheels only. 2022 BMW M5 CS Exterior BMW states that they chopped off 230 pounds out of the standard M5's curb weight due to less sound-deadening material, additionally, BMW molds the M5 CS's hood, vents, front splitter, rear diffuser, back spoiler, and roof out of CFRP. The engine’s cover with a full-color M logo and stripes is also made out the lightweight material. Additional exceptions to the outside include: Red-painted calipers on the standard carbon-ceramic brakes Bronze finish to kidney grilles Bronze finish 20-inch forged wheels Motorsport-Inspired yellow headlight The hood itself comes with exciting vents, and in conjunction with the offensive front end, it supplies the CS more character than the"traditional" M5. The quad- exhaust pipes, intended to give a more raucous soundtrack, are made from stainless steel. The M5 CS is available in a standard Brands Hatch grey metallic paint with two optional BMW Individual colors – Frozen Brands Hatch grey metallic and Frozen Deep Green metallic. 2022 BMW M5 CS Interior Take your eyes inside of the newest M5 CS, and you will immediately find the lewd M Carbon seats swathed in black contrast stitching. Try looking back, however, and you're going to find that yet another couple of buckets, split by a modest center console and harshly strengthened to make sure that your back seat passengers stay securely in position. All four seats have a map of the Nürburgring imprinted on the headrests indicating that BMW may have/would want to break some records at the same venue. Further interior upgrades include CS branding on seats, door sills, and the dash. A new fixed armrest in the center console substitutes the conventional design, which BMW says sheds vital mass. It's not a stripped out racer though; you'll still have loads of amenities, not to mention the enormous 12.3-inch infotainment screen centered in the dash. 2022 BMW M5 CS Safety Features You get an array of driver-assist and safety features as standard which are listed below: Fatigue and focus alert Post-crash braking Active Driving Assistant Lane Departure warning Frontal collision and pedestrian warning City collision mitigation Blindspot detection Rear cross-traffic alert Rear collision preparation Automatic high beams Speed limit information

The BMW X8 has been spied testing on public roads. To date, the BMW X8 has been spotted testing and seen with heavy camouflage. However, the newest images reveal a bit more about its styling and design especially with the front and rear fascias showcasing new headlights and taillights from BMW. These are the split headlights on the BMW X8. These headlights have also been spotted on the upcoming facelift BMW X7 and the BMW 7-Series, with many also considering that these were headlights only meant for vehicles that were in testing but not production versions. However, as more camouflage has been shed we can see the split headlights are to stay. The rest of the front fascia shows design cues that showcase it to be in the same line of the current flagship X7 and 7-series. The large grille can be seen in front even though the vertical slats are not there, but the mesh we reckon is for testing purposes. The front bumper is similar to the X7 M50i, even though a lot of it is well covered on the X8, we still can say it will look sporty. The taillights are also a new design, they are slimmer and extend more inward, even though they are heavily camouflaged we can see that they extend to at least a quarter of the way inward when compared to the rear windscreen. We speculate it will be of similar design to the new BMW X3 and X4 but have a more futuristic look to it. Looking further down on the rear fascia is a sportier appearance with vertically oriented dual exhaust tips on each side of the rear diffuser. Now with the images on hand, we can see sharper lines towards the end showing that it will be sporty especially with the exhaust tips and by the width of those tires, which shows it is a sportier model. The side profile of the BMW X8 is interesting it comes with a rising but strong waistline but also has a sloping roofline that goes on to prove it will be a sportier version of the X7. Its rear fenders after the back row doors are flared quite a bit as well like we see on the Lamborghini Urus. However, on the prototype, it does mention that it is a hybrid test vehicle on the rear end, we reckon it will be a PHEV, we do not know performance specs, but in the future, the X8 will have an M badged version whose performance will be thrilling, we can say that model will confidently compete with the Audi RS Q8. The side profile has also given us a good look at the possible new wheel designs as well, and we can expect the strong-lined X8 to come with stylish wheel designs. Behind the wheels are also a set of large brake discs. These discs do not appear to be cross-drilled high-performance carbon-ceramic ones but do appear to be the ones found on the M Sport models. As of now, not many details are available, but rumors do suggest that the BMW X8 or the X8’s M version’s concept/near-production prototype will be released and many more details of the BMW X8 will be introduced at that time.
