Just took delivery of my CSL!!
I was 3rd on the waitlist and was very "lucky" that both 1st and 2nd guy backed out. ended up paying $10k over which I think is reasonable and ok with.

Initial thought on the car..... CUP 2R tire is sticky, I can hear it picking up all small stone, rock and hitting wheel well on the short drive home. Will def. need to spend some time to adjust carbon bucket seat and experience different settings, current factory setting is not exactly comfortable (5'11" 165lb). Ride is STIFF as expected but very nimble and planted.

Asked the dealer not to clean and detail my car as I'll be doing a full wash and detail myself and send it for PPF (front + roof I'm thinking).

Will drive it some more and take more picture once the weather is better.

Congratulations! Such a great looking car! Mine has been in Quality Check now for the last week.

Has anyone been able to compare csl fixed buckets to the m5cs/ regular carbon bucket seats?

I am wondering if the csl fixed buckets allow for more hip and thigh room.

Ask Higgs Boson or Chicane_

KKSigs · 11-27-2022, 06:18 AM

US owners can anyone take a pic of the Rear-view mirror housing from the passenger side. I need to order the right Blendmount for my escort radar detector. Thanks in advance.

I mean, I didn't buy my M5 CS allocation cause I couldn't deal with the hip room in the automatic buckets.

The fixed buckets in the M4 CSL as perfection for me, maybe my favorite seats of all time. And I don't even have them in my ideal height and angle yet.

Honestly, it's the car's selling point for me over the M5 CS or a regular M3.

Chicane_ · 11-27-2022, 08:10 AM

What I like most about the CSL's racing buckets is how deep you sit inside them. They provide a lot of support under your thighs which I appreciate as a guy with long legs.

Agree, I like them more than the Porsche buckets!

Just collected my CSL yesterday.
Alpine White
CUP2R - had dealer store these and put MP4S on for our lovely wet weather.
Ultimate Pack - The BMW Head-Up Display is available as an option for the new BMW M4 CSL as part of the Ultimate Road Pack, supporting the driver to focus on the task at hand by projecting relevant information onto the windscreen. It includes M-specific elements such as a colour rev counter, Shift Lights and M View. In addition, the Ultimate Road Pack for the M4 CSL also includes Comfort Access, Driving Assistant, Parking Assistant, Folding Wing Mirrors with automatic dimming and Wireless mobile phone charging.
CSL Buckets
Tracker
Red stripes

Going to be PPF'd, and GTECH inside and out including wheels and calipers.

Not sure if I am the first UK owner to collect

Congrats - please post some pics. Not the first UK owner, Dale got his a few weeks ago. But certainly one of the first!

According to Higgs Boson the bucket to side mount are T-45 and the mounts/sliders are bolted to the floor with T-50.

Thank you sir! I know it was posted somewhere but my search skill has failed me. lol

ScullyD · 11-28-2022, 03:43 PM

Btw if anyone is interested, I have FBG IND reflector deletes that I never put on. They do look like they fit (which was an original concern), im just not sure i want compromise the car at all in the event I plan on selling it. I'd normally post this in the marketplace but since that color is restricted to this audience, figured I'd put it here. Just DM me.
