The fabled performance brand turns 50 next year.
If you re a BMW fanatic, three specific letters mean more to you than those you see on the brand s logo. While the M2 CS is special, and the old M4 GTS was pretty mean too, what you re really lusting after is a Bimmer with the CSL name on the trunk. The last time that designation was used, it was on the E46, back when engines truly had character and cars weren t built for Instagram celebs. We ve been teased with the return of the famous nomenclature for years now and BMW even flirted with a 3.0 CSL Hommage concept back in 2015 - pictured below - but during an online roundtable event, Hagen Franke, product manager for the new M3 and M4, hinted that this return could be imminent.
Could The CSL Make A Return As A More Driver-Focused BMW M4? carscoops.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from carscoops.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
• The limited-edition model produces 467kW and 750Nm from its 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 motor.
• We look at three other limited-edition M cars that graced our shores.
Details of BMW s most powerful model were announced this week. The M5 CS 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 motor produces 467kW and 750Nm.
The limited edition CS is the swansong to the F90 super sedan. Five models will be made available for local buyers, and the four-wheel-drive high-performance car is set to arrive in the third quarter of 2021.
Like the standard M5, one can configure the CS at the press of a button to a rear-wheel-drive maniac. BMW purists will breathe a sigh of relief. The CS will still drift like the smaller M cars.
