The M4CSL biggest enemy is its badge. It seems no one can get over their L predisposition and just rate the car on its merits and leave out the "but CSL should be X." I really think the badge actually affects its real world ratings/standings which to me is unbelievable until I think about how the average brain works and then it is believable.

The L in the CSL’s badge is what BMW is using to justify a massive price increase compared to the M4C.
I think the M4C is a very divisive but effective car, especially in its class. The moment you increase its price to compete against the Z06 and 911, a lot of the cars base deficiencies + more subtle changes stand out badly.
BTW the old CSL was also criticized for being too expensive so this isn’t new.
