I would hope the CSL also has a roll cage, carbon buckets, adjustable dampers, etc., which means the price tag should be at or beyond that of the previous gen GTS.

I would hope they keep the CS at or below the $100k mark, though I would love for them to be priced around $120k once loaded up again and sit on the lots untouched for several months. The timing will work out to be able to steal one of those when my current steal of a lease is due up.

The real issue with this entire platform is the lack of DCT but that has been discussed far too much already. The questions I have are will there be a CS and CSL? If not there goes BMW creating confusion again right when we thought it would be Base-Comp-CS-CSL. The second question for CS and CSL is about weight. Let's hope they shed some.

I agree with you on manual comments. Been driving manual for 10 years and track my car quite a bit. If we're talking about a car to be used on track I think DCT or similarly quick auto transmission is the way to go as it's one less thing to think about and shifts faster. I'm honestly shocked there is any expectation for this car to have a manual at this point.
