context_page_description: The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3 models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986.
  The initial model was available in a coupé body style, with a convertible body style added soon after. M3 Sedans were available during the E36 and E90 generations. Since 2014, the M3 has been solely produced in the sedan body style, due to the coupé and convertible models being rebranded as the 4 Series range, making the high-performance variant the M4.
  Upgrades over the regular 3 Series models include engines, handling, brakes, aerodynamics, lightweight materials and various interior upgrades.
context_section_description: An "M3 CS" special edition was produced in 2018 with an upgraded engine rated at 339 kW (454 hp) and 601 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft). The weight was reduced by 50 kg (110 lb) through use of a carbon fibre front splitter, Alcantara interior parts and thinner glass for the side windows.
  Production of the CS totalled 1,200 units.
