Even in this YouTube video; the fake news engine noises inside sound like an abomination 🤦

My FBG finished production 2+ weeks ago and been stuck in Awaiting Carrier Assignment since then. The dealer did the research and looks like the car is still waiting on some part to be installed. Not sure how long it will take.

They take 3 min to turn off. Who cares.

I'm sure it's waiting on mine to be produced and go with yours. Don't worry, will be done in 3 weeks.

Looks great in white!
Over 2 million followers! I wish he would add English subtitles. Probably would more than double his reach.

All I understood was "dis is good" and 'is nice'.

I’m rapidly losing my enthusiasm for my CSL 😢

You can turn on the subtitles and then set them to be translated into English. Not perfect but you get the point what he is talking about.

Thanks!
I tried earlier but must have done it wrong.
Working now…
Not perfect but definitely better than nothing.

Why cause of wait times?

His car is very clean. There are a lot of elements I truly love about the new CSL, including the rear decklid and the seats. Just fantastic.

It sounds like he said the seats are pretty hard, not padded. He also said 100-200kph in 6.7 seconds (Which is identical to what the M5 CS got on autopnl). Stupid fast for a RWD car.

I can't make out much more and the translated subtitles are bad. Hope someone can provide clarity.

Personally, the pumped in sound works for me and the car sounds extreme without being too extreme (after EVO Magazine said the GT4 RS was so loud, that it ruined their enjoyment of that car in a group test today and marked it below STO, NSX-R and Speciale, i think its a welcome difference for the CSL).

I was never bothered by the pumped in sound either.

Some summary of the short review part.

He said that the seats are much harder than the normal carbon buckets and the sides are not padded.
Also the ride seems to be way stiffer and harder than on the base or comp. While the comp was perfectly fine on highway and long trips, he is not sure at all for the CSL.
You feel that it's lighter and the sound is pretty different than the M4 and louder. Inside the car it's much louder. He expect it to be very fast, he is going to do sone mods and test before and after on the track where he tests all the cars.
100-200km/h time for CSL was 6,7sec and for the comp 7,9sec.
You have to really stay focused while driving, it's much more following road ruts and you have to be very careful overall as the grip is high because of the tires. Overall it feels really more race car like on the road, harder, louder etc. and a lot different than a M4.

So sounds like it feels how it's meant to feel

[Chicane_]

Being more than 1 second quicker 0-200 vs the M4 Comp suggests to me that BMW has underrated the HP. Why they would do that is a mystery to me.

Or, are the gear ratios or final drive shortened?

There does feel like his reaction in the video, that it's kind of not what he hoped for. I guess time will tell if it's too hardcore or not.

It's definitely fast and focused based on that 100-200 number.

He was actually saying that we he measured the M4 there was a passenger next to him and the tank was full…in the CSL he was obviously alone and a half full tank.
But he believes that the CSL is more or less still 1sec faster…
