To me the fact BMW is offering the CSL with "regular memory" buckets, special livery delete and street tires speaks for itself. We will see how it drives but I really don't think it will be a great regular track partner, maybe 2-3 events per year but at 8-10 events it's going to cost 2x in consumables vs a GT3.
It is afterall a limited run car ment to please the BMW fans and show what BMW is capable of. Some sort of icon for BMW.
