The M8 serves as the pinnacle of Bavarian coupes, and both variants of the grand tourer feature the S63 V8 with M xDrive and the M Steptronic transmission. Based on the looks of the mule that BMW currently tests at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, the Munich-based automaker is developing a track-focused M8 for the 2022 model year.
One of the best in the company s history.
The recent unveiling of the 2022 BMW M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe with optional xDrive all-wheel-drive is a major change for these formerly rear-wheel-drive-only vehicles. Adding AWD will help BMW sell its sportiest 3 and 4 Series models to more buyers who live in cold weather climates and can now drive their cars year-round. While the AWD M3 and M4 should be swift, BMW is working on something special for the drivers who aren t looking for a compliant daily driver and instead want something more track-focused.
We ve spotted BMW testing a more hardcore M4 version, and the four-door M3 will likely receive a track-focused special as well. BMW s M Division has already hinted at plans to reveal a special car on its 50th birthday in 2022, possibly bringing back a name from its heritage. This new model was previously rumored to revive the Coupe Sport Lightweight (CSL) name last used on the E46 M3, but a recent patent filing has us thinking otherwise.

Apart from the second-generation M2, BMW is also cooking a limited edition of the M4, which will bring back the legendary CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) moniker.
The last time we were gifted with the famed CSL badge was in 2004, when the BMW M3 CSL pretty much became the magnum opus of the E46 M3 lineage.
The M4 CSL is expected to arrive with around 550 horsepower from a revised version of its 3.0-liter straight-six, and a huge decrease in weight thanks to the removal of the back seats and a lot of CFRP parts.

Yesterday we got our first ever spy photos of an upcoming BMW M4 version, one that aims to change the status quo in the BMW lineup for the following period, maybe even more than how the introduction of the giant kidney grille did. 23 photos
Se to resurrect the three legendary CSL moniker, the limited-edition M4 is expected to go official sometime in the summer of 2022, just in time to celebrate BMW M’s 50th anniversary.
While yesterday’s spy photos showed a heavily camouflaged prototype, today it’s time to check out a more undressed one, with only the modified aerodynamic bits still wearing camo.
