BMW M4 CSL in the works?

BMW has begun development testing of what is earmarked as the lightweight M4 CSL, which will headline the model lineup

BMW seems to be working on a hardcore CSL M4 model that will likely launch in 2022.

In the midst of thorough testing, the BMW M4 CSL was spotted wearing unique front grilles with a muscular and aggressive look.

The BMW M4 CSL will of course feature unique side skirts, a tweaked rear end, a bigger lip spoiler as well as a different diffuser. Reports suggest that it will ride on a set of new 19″ and 20″ tyres shod either with regular sport or track-focused rubbers.

The track-focused BMW M4 CSL will reportedly feature M bucket seats as standard with the choice of upgrading to the optional racing bucket seats. Other features will include an Alcantara steering wheel, lots of carbon bits and new optional M headlights.

It still remains unknown as to what will power the new BMW M4 CSL but reports state that it will spawn a modified version of the standard M4’s 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol engine. The engine will produce roughly 400 kW sent entirely to the rear axle via an eight-speed automatic transmission.

BMW engineers will also deploy plenty of weight-saving measures courtesy of extensive use of carbon fibre everywhere possible.
