I’d give it to the GT4, but none of these have rear seats, even in a technical sense, and that looooong second gear continues to plague it on the streets short of a $15k gear box swap.

The GT4 RS fixes that, as they changed the gear ratios.
But one thing to note about the M4 CSL, and this goes more about ownership proposition than road test reviews:
1) the build quality of the car the car is absolutely perfect so far. The materials are all super detailed and expensive feeling everywhere. It feels like it should cost $150k. It has a feeling of solidity about it that I’ve never experienced in any other BMW or Porsche I’ve been in.
2) it’s as easy to get serviced and maintained as any 3/4 series, while it tangles with exotica from Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini etc.
