This puts the M4 CSL to shame.

Well I'd call that full send....
Impressive how consistently early he can get on/maintain full throttle coming out of those corners. OEM suspension setup seems pretty solid |

M4C matches the 7:30.X time exactly in the hands of an independent driver by Sport Auto. The difference between a factory driver’s fastest lap is usually a couple of seconds so the wagon’s time is perfectly in line with expectations. Fast hearse, note to self to add to will as final transport
The M4CX time is 7:28.X by Sport Auto which is a better comparison. |

That doesn't reduce my desire to own one at all! One can only dream here in the US.

Smooth operator, nice driving. Everytime I watch these ring videos I’m struck by the length of the main straight and how extremely important hp is on this track. The time spent at full throttle with excruciatingly slow acceleration through 6 to 8 gear for over 30s.

Interesting to note that the same driver in the M3 Touring was shifting up most of the time at around 6500rpm, while in the M4 CSL it was at around 7000rpm. CSL's engine continues to increase hp at the top end? Or there are some other reasons?

after watching more it's just that he's *short shifting most of the time giving the illusion of shorter gearing.
maybe car is heavier and need more **torque? sorry i'm not making any sense lol just woke up - get coffee first emailed to put an order in not sure what to do with my M340i *redline seems to be at 7250rpm and he's often shifting at 6500rpm sometimes even closer to 6000rpm! ** is there a big power drop off from 6500rpm in the M3/4C? will be watching the lap again paying attention to the telemetry Last edited by G30M; 06-17-2022 at 02:57 PM.. |

15s on a 20.8km track though.
The M4 CSL is 110kg lighter than the M4 Competition, here we also have xDrive (+50kg) and Touring (+60kg), so around 220kg more, 40hp less and more powertrain loss. Michelin claims than the advantage of the Cup2r over the Cup2 is about 0.5s/km, maybe a bit less at Nurburgring but still considerable. With the same tires, the time would be dangerously close. Now consider a 4/5km racetrack, not a great deal for the "light" and expensive CSL. |
