Personally I hope they don't do a four door , and make it real hardcore, basic stripdown weapon, and not for at least another 10 years. :thumbs:

Four door would be awful.

Plenty of carbon fibre will be a good thing and as light as a feather.:smokin:

Light and simple FTW. I hope it is really hardcore and not just a marketting exercise. Not holding out much hope.

Maybe my english is lacking but i don't get where you are reading that there will be a "new" CSL model?

All it says that the "GTS" moniker will be replaced by "CSL" in the future?

"[...]but he did confirm that we'll never see an X5 M CSL."

Never say never... :hahaha:

"However, he is open to 4-door M cars with CSL branding, even if they aren't coupes."

Yeah, the Coupe Sport Lightweight name makes sense for a car that isn't even a coupe. :whistle:

I wouldn't get my hopes up to be honest, BMW has lost their way.
While AMG announced their Project One Car, BMW has announced that their new brand ambassador for BMW M is a fashion model. :hahaha:

:cough: 4 series grand coupe, 6 series grand coupe :cough:

BMW have certainly lost their way in recent years mass producing every niche car concept you could ever dream of and putting an '//M' badge on pretty much everything... :smt104

Me too...

M6 gran coupe (4 door) CSL

I am sure these future amazing CSL models will be in excess of 1650 kilos :whistle:

And turbo charging everything.

Well, i disagree regarding the turbo charging. Its not really BMW's own decision but more the stupid EU regulations that are forcing them.

And more. My final conclusion is that everything is f**ked up due to marketing purpose.

Am I the only one that thinks that BMW has lost it's way with it's M-Cars?

Since the E46 I really think BMW M has gone downhill, the E90/92 did nothing for me, the latest F82 is just a big tank, albeit quick, it's soulless.

Obviously interested to see what they produce CSL wise, but my current thought is that it will be the same as a GTS version, and that's been a bit hit and miss.

BMW seem to have lost the plot in general. They, along with Audi, seem intent on having a car that fits every imaginable permutation of what a car could be. They've created some real Homers.

[Trawler]

In terms of fun cars yes I believe they have lost the plot, but in terms of mass marketing they could be onto a winner. I have lost count of people who buy & think they have a M car just because of some little badge. Just don't try explaining it to them.
