"Green Hell"

BMW has built fast sedans for decades, but the M5 CS is in a different category entirely. When it launched, BMW called it the fastest production car they had ever built, and they backed that up with numbers that are hard to argue with. The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 produces 627 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, enough to get to 60 miles per hour in 2.9 seconds. BMW also stripped 230 pounds out of it compared to the already serious M5 Competition through extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the body, hood, roof, and interior. The result is a car that weighs less, handles sharper, and stops harder than anything else wearing an M badge. Only 1,000 were ever built for the entire world. This one is finished in Frozen Deep Green Metallic, one of only 300 ever produced in that color, with bronze gold accents on the grille, wheels, and trim that make it look like nothing else on the road.

Under the hood that twin-turbo V8 sends power to all four wheels through an eight speed automatic with carbon fiber paddle shifters. The CS took a development lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife and posted a time of 7 minutes and 29.57 seconds, faster than the M8 Competition, the Audi R8 Plus, and the Pagani Zonda F. When a four-door family sedan is embarrassing supercars on the most demanding race circuit in the world, the point has been made. BMW put the layout of the Nürburgring embossed directly into the headrests of the carbon bucket seats as a permanent reminder of what this car was built to do.

Inside, the carbon fiber bucket seats are up front and rear, all with the Nürburgring embossed into the headrests. The CS trim brings more carbon fiber throughout the cabin than any other M5 variant, and it shows in every surface and every detail. Carbon paddle shifters, M Performance floor mats, and bronze accents carry the exterior theme all the way through the interior.

The CS designation at BMW has always signified the absolute top of the performance hierarchy, a limited production, no-compromise version of the car it is based on reserved for buyers who want everything the engineers had left to give. With 1,000 built total and only 300 in this color, this example sits at the very top of that pyramid. One of the most capable four-door cars ever produced, in one of the rarest configurations it was offered in.
