Road & Track M4 CSL First Drive - Takes Your Breath Away
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2...view/?aps=XXXX "Fortunately, the grip is unfathomable and the steering feel is so linear and tactile, which make the car remarkably easy to trust." "With standard Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, it holds onto its massive speed almost to the point where you feel your cheeks departing from your face under aggressive lateral acceleration." |

I'd hope there is more to come than that but I'm not so sure. Plus next M4 is an EV. |

Awesome to see so many killer reviews on the CSL. I'm expecting the CS to be great as well.

I wouldn't say that ....there will be a 4door M EV but will it be an m4...thats to be determined. I would say hybrid but a full EV doubtful for the bext gen. Alot will change between now and 28 and I bet Bmw will do power of choice and give markets options as not everyone will be for ICE or a EV as each market is different and by then many folks in power will change and with that goals. The EV your referring to is an I4 https://youtu.be/cle-dgG2CBw |

https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/08/15/n...w-m3-electric/ The next M5 will still be hybrid. M2 remains ICE until 2030. M3/M4 will give us an M3 CS xdrive and a now rumored special edition in 24/25. The final model years have historically not had an another special edition as the older model wraps up and development focuses on the new model. BMW is investing a lot on building batteries and Neue Klasse. They will still build ICE for emerging markets and cheaper cars but they are all in EV for premium cars. |

Thread title is misleading: it should read "Motortrend", not "Road & Track"

Obviously a very favorable review. All in all the reviews for the CSL seem to be binary. Either the reviewer "gets" what the CSL is trying to do or doesn't. Of course, none of these reviews likely matter to the scant 1000 people who will actually own the car. . It would certainly be fun trying a CSL and M4C back to back.

There's a lot of talk of steering feel here. But what really has changed to the G8x? There is no hardware change AFAIK. So is it just lighter wheels, cup2s, and some software?

I think ultimately there is less of the perceived feel you get in the M2 CS and M5 CS that were dialed in by great software work. That's my opinion. |

I can't wait to put the *Spec Cup2s I have in storage after I go trough the Rs. I think it will become the ultimate BMW driving (auto) machine.

Everything else about the car is a masterpiece. You even quickly realize the gearbox is pretty amazing, it has to be the best ZF Auto implementation so far. |
