I can confirm No but nothing stops dealers to keep the cars and sell them to whoever they want.

They are supposed to come up with a GT/H model that is setup like a CSL with a manual transmission but should be Europe market only.

In other news, the "other csl" sounds tasty. Based on M4 CSL but 100kg lighter.

There is no M3 CSL. "Only" a CS.

Ah you mean the e46. The "out of camo" got me confused.

"Why was BMW sued by American E28 M5 owners?BMW flaunted "700" and "limited edition" in F82 M4 GTS press materials, promoting exclusivity. The M4 GTS brochure indicated: "In fact, the top performance of the new BMW M4 GTS only knows one limit: the limited number of just 700 vehicles worldwide" (see here): High demand by dealers, greedy speculators and genuine customers likely induced BMW to break its "just 700" promise. 803 were sold (830 were made, including pre-production, press and demo cars) (see here and here). Speculators (coin flippers) found out rather quickly that a 'let's make a quick buck' frenzy wouldn't materialize with the M4 GTS. Indeed, it didn't bode well. Genuine customers, on the other hand, don't care: they prefer enjoying their cars - that's usually the main reason why they bought the car in the first place. The M4 GTS production increase wasn't announced - it was discovered, and not quite appreciated, to say the least (see for example the dedicated thread here). To add insult to injury, subsequently BMW introduced the M4 DTM Champion Edition ("limited edition"): 200 cars with an even higher price-tag. Actually, it was an M4 GTS with a different aero package, some added BMW M livery and a funky name (see here): "The M4 DTM Champion Edition is basically the second coming of the M4 GTS, which wowed the automotive world last year with its awesome water injection technology. As you'd expect this car is rarer than the one it's based on, with just 200 units set for production; the M4 GTS had a production run of 700 cars. Another thing that sets the M4 DTM Champion Edition apart from the M4 GTS is its price: €148,550 ($163,376). The M4 GTS was sold for $134,200, with the markup for the new car likely owing to its collectible status. That's the only conclusion we could come to as the two M4s are basically the same." (here). And then there was also the Ferrari Enzo: "399 + 1 for the Pope" was the official Ferrari tag line. However... "How many did you say? As for being one of 400 built, thanks to historians like Gerald Roush of the Ferrari Market Letter, a well-known member of the serial number swapping group to which I belong, we have confirmed records on 446 Enzos to date, and the list is growing. This is obviously well over the official number of 399 plus 1 used by Ferrari. How can this be? Very simple; Ferrari is a “for profit” organization, and once the development and production costs of the Enzo were paid for, each extra car delivered at $650,000 or so had a very large profit margin built in. Add a lot of wealthy and well-connected owners who were miffed that they were not on the lucky list of 400, and you have a burgeoning market making wealthy clients happy by making “extra” cars. So much for the one of 400 myth…." (source: here - see also here and here) "I'm up to 501 Enzo serial numbers, and have it on good authority that between 520-540 were built." "My count does not include those cars whose VINs were re-assigned to brand new Enzos that were dubbed as "repaired" when they were really replacements. So, I guess you can add another, say, half dozen or so to the list if you count those as well." (source: here) Anyways, "limited edition", what's in a name ? In a way, in the grand scheme of things, any car model production is 'limited' in production time and quantities.

Might be the lighting, but it doesn't look like the grille has the y-shaped inserts as seen on the prototypes
