Time to drive the new CSL - three little letters, that perhaps unfairly put this car in a position it’s recent predecessors were never in - namely, huge boots to fill.

That name “Coupe Sport Leichtbau” only links right back to BMW’s origins with the 3.0 CSL Batmobile.

Many limited edition cars followed the formula it set. And I’ll show you all of them, including thee  E30 M3’s special Sport evolution model, E36 M3 GT special edition, E46 CSL, E92 GTS  and finally the M4 GTS!

Each car though not using the name, having the same formula. Namely a focus on Light weight materials, stripped out interiors, power, handling and memorable looks!

Today CSL means Competition Sport Lightweight, and the new CSL carries the theme of all the predecessors forward. It’s the lightest of the current generation M3/M4 cars. Like the original CSL it’s limited to 1000 units, with the UK just getting 100.

#BMWM have redone the suspension, it’s lower with less rubber and give, and a host of new hardware for rigidity. The engine and transmission are upgraded, with more power of 550BHP and more emotional shifts from the 8 speed. Cooling is also heavily upgraded, and much of the interior stripped so you hear more from the new titanium system!

But will it all amount to enough in the end? We will see when we launch control it and drive it on UK roads - sadly on Michelin PS4S rather then the Cup 2.

Coming in the future is another #CSL M4 - the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage - 750K euros, limited numbers coach built in Munich. Rumoured to be 1500 kg, 6 speed manual and more power. Will that surpass this enough? Time will tell.

Today, we need to see how this car will do against the normal #BMW M4 and special cars of the past!
