Looks like M4 CS is confirmed for G8x platform and it might be a good news for people who were unable to secure a M3CS.

"M4 CS will be in production 07/24-06/25. Virtually the same car as the current M3 CS but with two fewer doors and some headlight changes (no laserlights)."

With G8x having a longer production run, I would expect BMW to introduce another special limited run towards the end of the lifecycle as well.

Whats the difference between it and the CSL? Is the CSL more exclusive and lightweight?

[BimmerBren]

I wish they had special CS taillights like the F82 had

[vim]

Wow so no laser lights??

Xdrive, prolly no carbon trunk, normal tailights, and keeping the back seats in.

BMW continues to dilute the brand.

This might hit the CSL prices negatively

True, but compared to a 911, the model variations are still a few only. And nobody ever complaint about those. And one sells better than the other.

The perceived value of existing CSL models just dropped

This is very true. Nobody complains about the 911 because Porsche rarely produces a dud in the “driver’s car” category.

Will be very curious to see what this does to the M3CS- especially if the color offerings are better.

Well well well….

Willing to bet it’ll have these headlights and refreshed taillights plus the same changes the m3 cs got in terms of visual/peformance changes outside and inside

[thebigcheese]

Just got my deposit in - looks like ill have the M3 CS & M4 CS

[AYounglove10]

Aside from any perceived drop in value on the CSL, I think this is a good call from BMW.

The CSL has received some criticism on its acceleration performance (from a dig) given how tail happy it is with so much power.

The M-XDrive is near unanimously praised for being best of all worlds.

M4 CS is the special edition for me. Some amount of weight reduction, more power, titanium exhaust, more aggression. I’ll be calling today to see about securing a spot.

Wonder what color options they’ll offer…

Yeah, if production is from 7/24 then it will be based off the upcoming LCI (3/24).

Dilution happens when the M name is being added to non M cars.

I dont think anyone here would be unhappy with more versions of the M, especially when the next gen is going to be a hybrid.

Dilution also happens when you make more of the same thing. I’m not not happy about more CS’s.

Also, if all the M cars go hybrid, I think they’ll be outrageously good and won’t sound half bad.

I think we need more detail, specifically price and volume - no?

[r0wr]

Here come the fanboys who think the CS is gonna be some amazing version that’s vastly different than the civic. CS gonna depreciate like all the other M cars before it.

Just like the 911 range, M, Mcs, Mcsl range is well defined within the M lineup as well. G80 CS production numbers is low when compared with previous generation and i dont think adding G82 CS is going to create any negative impact.
