Surprised to see this post on here as a front page article in all honesty. It highlights the CSL as a complete misstep. You would think after 20 years BMW would have done a better job. Then again, the XM is the first dedicated M car since the M1… and look how that turned out.

Nice
Amazing video but how many people and how often take a +150k car to track? No matter which car wins the battle I believe both cars are amazing and its ablessing to own …

agree- not people who are taking a massive loan to get a $150k range rover those won't be taking the rovers to the mud but these guys have spare cash, they can afford to track and even race these cars. i don't think the CSL is a very good track car so no they won't be tracking these, probably investing to on sell in the future .... but what do i know, i don't have spare +$150k lying around. i just see know they do track expensive cars that are made for track. |

Oh boy! More comments about how a BMW ///M product should match the GT3 (..or other dedicated Porsche GT product). This is such a two decade old tired argument.

M4 CSL seems like a bit of a hooligan! I’m a fan

The only reason to buy a CSL over a GT3 is because you can actually find one. |

Both great cars but if I were on the market, GT3 all day everyday.

So what would make it deserving??? GT3's can be found much easier than a CSL. The problem is cost and usability; both of which make the proposition of a GT3 prohibitive to most people. While I agree that the CSL isn't going to be daily driven by the large majority of people who own the car, neither is the GT3. Most are garage queen brag-mobiles or Cars & Coffee trophies. |

Imagine if BMW looked as nice as GT3. It would be considered a much more comparable alternative. But it looks aggressive and expensive, and thats about it. Its not enough to play vs GT3.

I don’t think this was a bad review for the CSL. I do think people should stop trying to do road tests with this car in the wet, with the wrong seats. But it’s not winning a track battle with a GT3.
That said, on sticky rubber in the dry on a racetrack, it will feel more nuanced than sledgehammer is my guess. |

Comparisons videos are fun Porsche GT3 is different driving experience vs a BMW M4 CSL both are unique.
I would like to own a GT3 MT and Shelby GT 350 ….someday one day 😎 |

At almost every track day I take my M3 to, there are nowadays more 991/992 GT cars than M3s... so yeah, many people take expensive cars out on circuits.
