Not really that different from the regular m4!

When you are driving at normal speed, it does feel like just a really good M4. When you start to really push it, it feels special. I think the car is being judged too much against the badge on it.
Also CSL never meant “road first”, in fact bmw had a PowerPoint deck that said the opposite and how CSL was replacing GTS in their branding. They had an M2 CSL prototype that had a cage and a wing. I think the reason they didn’t put a cage and wing on this particular car is cause it probably didn’t provide the benefits needed to justify that weight.
They wanted to be able to have their performance monikers be C -> CS -> CSL. GTS was a Porsche term historically, not a BMW term.
