You’re probably the only one on this forum that has actually rode in the CSL. Glad to hear the experience didn’t let you down. Anything else you can share about it? I’ve been waiting for the reviews come out but looks like I may take delivery before that happens.

I wouldn't consider a z06 a fast car and yes I've ran against them on the track and off the track. They are lite and geared well but I wouldn't take a z06 over my e36 m3. Every time someone mentions a z06, all I remember is a z06 putting a rod through the block on the track and it's a mess. But I'll take an m3/4 over any American car any day. You might disagree but I appreciate the German engineering over the American one. |

The csl is quite impressive. Felt very nimble and flat through corners. Steering is very direct. It felt more than just 40hp over the comp. Had plenty of power through the rpm without disturbing the rear end. Also sounds different than the comp. Shits are very crisp, almost feels and sounds as a dct transmission. Compression and rebound in comfort felt great. Bmw definitely did a great job dialing in the steering and dampers tuning. |

Actually, I think my stock '11 BMW 335is would take your e36! I agree with you on German engineering as this will be my 7th BMW since buying my first new one, a 320i in 1979, and my wife and I have had 4 Mercedes including an S600 that was our Learjet on wheels. We have also had 2 Audis and 2 VWs.

As far as performance, the only better performance for the Xdrive comp vs the CSL is 0-60 times and stoplight racing. So if that's the metric that someone is judging cars by, then yes an xdrive M3C is a better value for money. I think most CSL buyers are more focused on track and backroads performance. |

She is built and waiting to be taken to the port. We will see if it enters my garage or not. The reviews better be stellar. I’m not just buying it to be a garage ornament. Gt4 RS is on order and I know that’s a winner.
At this point bmw can’t even put an M4 CSL in my bmw garage so we aren’t starting off on a good foot. Will this be another m4 GTS failure? I sure hope not.

The white one can be had for $150,000. You likely won't see a better one in your lifetime

Is that the sport evo ? I'm assuming it's a street car not a track car.

The M4 CSL is their Starship Enterprise. That's how they feel in the car they selected, or they wouldn't be paying $140k for a car they can get for $100k. I bought my G82 xDrive, because I've had really fast AWD cars, in the past. To me, I like that connected feeling of AWD. Its the perfect acceleration balance. all 4 wheels connected when you apply all of the power. The weight transfer feels completely different. The car just feels more solid to me. The CSL is definitely nice, and it's going to be extremely rare, and it's going to attract a lot of attention, and be worth the money, in the long run. I have 7,400 miles on my G82, and I wouldn't last that long, in the CSL seats. It's just not going to be comfortable, for me. My car has every option, except carbon buckets, and I'm completely happy with it.

They never made a sport evo in white. Actually they said they made one for an exec but no one can ever find it. They made 500 sport evo or evo 3’s as they are sometimes called in red and jet black only. I do have a e30 m3 race car but this particular one is a street car

I can tell you I spend way too much money on cars but that’s the plan to buy them both although at the moment I haven’t bought any. Allocations in hand and deposits have been made. I know I’m following through on the 4RS. Let’s see how this m4 CSL gets reviewed. Reviews better hurry as my car has been built and waiting to be shipped to the port.
