Exquisite Design and Performance

The M4 CS Edition VR46 stands out with its exclusive BMW Individual paint finishes. The Marina Bay Blue Metallic variant showcases a bold '46' in darker Tanzanite Blue Metallic on both sides, complemented by vivid Sao Paulo Yellow accents on the kidney grille surround and forged M light alloy wheels. The Frozen Tanzanite Blue Metallic version features a contrasting '46' in Frozen Marina Bay Blue Metallic, maintaining the striking visual appeal. Inside, the cabin boasts Black/Night Blue Merino leather M Carbon bucket seats with Sao Paulo Yellow Alcantara accents, a flat-bottomed M Alcantara steering wheel with yellow contrast stitching, and a carbon center console adorned with a special VR46 edition pad.

Under the hood, the M4 CS Edition VR46 is powered by a high-revving 3.0-liter, six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, delivering an impressive 543 horsepower. This powerhouse enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 188 mph. The adaptive M suspension, active M differential, and M Compound brakes ensure that the vehicle's performance matches its aggressive aesthetics.
