REVIEW: The radical BMW M4 CSL is unexpectedly sophisticated and cultured, and goes large on performance character 🔥 Read our review to see our verdict...
Before we move on, then, let’s reflect on how the more rarefied end of the market for German performance cars has changed since the ‘E46’ CSL of 2004. That was BMW’s first road-going M car to get a semi-slick ‘cup’ tyre, you may remember. The first with a weight-saving roof made out of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic, too.
The interior is awash with special styling touches and racy materials, but it isn’t so stripped out as to feel sparse. All of the digital infotainment features of a regular M4 are included . But there are no Porsche RS-style belt-pull door releases, there’s no fire extinguisher - and there’s no roll cage even as an option.
If you’ve owned similar hardcore specials before, this car’s damping is so clever that it may feel worth the price of admission to you all on its own. On road handling, meanwhile, is absurdly grippy when those tyres are up to temperature; but while characteristically agile and finely-balanced, it’s not nervy or particularly sensitive to bump or camber.
