BMW’s M division, which will celebrate its 50th birthday next year, seems to have already started the celebrations; however, it is not yet known how many different ways M will celebrate. The group has already launched the first ever M3 Touring station wagon for international markets, showing a preview of M’s first standalone product in the XM Concept SUV. We also know that an M4 CSL will arrive for the 2023 model year. However, if we look at the rumors circulating in some forums, it seems that the celebrations will not be limited to this.
Insider information; According to a post shared on the regularly updated future models page of the forum, a very limited special M4 will be produced from September 22 for only a few months. The person making the post; Stating that the M4, which will be configured mostly like CSL with a manual transmission, will have G80 wheels, he states that he does not know the exact model definition.
A lighter, leaner and tougher M4 CSL
This new model sounds like a lighter, leaner and tougher M4 CSL for manual transmission moldings, or perhaps even more limited production run than the expected 1,000 or more units of the M4 CSL. Of course, these are only estimations based on shared information. The only concrete information we have about the vehicle for now is the wheels that BMW currently sells for the M3 and M4.
As for the M4 CSL: The car was previously seen in tests in Europe, which highlighted a very aggressive aero package with a large splitter and new air intakes surrounding the lower fascia under the commercial grilles. In addition, we saw unique headlights and what appeared to be rocker extensions, and many carbon fiber fragments that were presumed to be under camouflage. Judging by the rumors, that means it could be a fine-tuned version of BMW’s S58 3.0-liter turbocharged six-row engine that produces 540 horsepower.
