Every BMW since my E46 M3 has disappointed me. I ordered mine on the remote chance that BMW remembered how to build a visceral and engaging sports coupe. Who knows, maybe the searing reviews will come out before mine arrives, and save me the brain damage of buying it. |

You remind me of the Looney Tunes cartoons where the coyote gets hit by an oncoming truck. Flattened like a pancake, he gets up, dusts himself in the middle of the road, only to get hit by another truck coming from the opposite direction. If you've been disappointed with every BMW since the E46M3, may I ask, why do you keep buying them?

My first impressions are definitely positive. Suspension feel and responsive is tight. Definitely valved for road course use. Interior is beautiful, the lighted csl badges on the seats are beautiful along with the yellow dlr and laser rear taillights. With only a few miles on the engine I did not want to get above 4K so drove her very mildly about 5 miles with various rpm. I plan on doing a proper break in as we would a fresh b58 build. If I do any modification it will be very tasteful. Eventuri intake, csf intake manifold, motiv reflex with lpfp and pi. Pure drivetrain solutions stage 2 transmission. I want to keep it as clean as possible if anything. Might go without the manifold as I want it to remain stock appearance. |

It sure appears the Eventuri might not fit under the strut brace. Interested about this.

I think he's probably trying to determine if keeping it can help promote his business relative to potential profit from the flip. I guess if he got a bunch of responses to a sale attempt, then it might be more valuable to keep, if he gets one interested party, better to sell. Probably wants it listed as many places as possible when the press embargo lifts which is soon. |

I’m honestly torn as I want to keep it but my colleagues and other industry professionals are telling me to move it especially if I want to modify. Unless someone offers me a stupid offer I’m keeping it and sending to SEMA after building. |

ventura. Yeah doesn't look like I can change the build on mine despite it not being assigned a production slot yet. Annoying but really its just the red stripes that bug me. Ultimately the powered seats will be more practical and you can always change the tires.

Am I the only one who thinks the CSL isn't fundamentally different enough from the standard M4C to warrant all this hype and the price premium?
Sure it's lighter than the regular M4, but it still weighs over 3,600lbs, so not like it's going to be some nimble sports car. Also, it only comes in RWD which means off the line, it probably won't be any faster than the xdrive m4 or be even slower. The 50hp bump over the regular m4 is obviously nothing more than an ECU tune bmw done on their lunch break to bump up the boost, which anyone could do with a piggyback for $800. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this, but I don't think they've done anything to improve the s58 at the hardware level? It's just running a more aggressive ecu tune to get that 50hp? I think most of the Nurburgring laptime improvement over the standard car, came from the ultra aggressive tyres which could also be fitted to the standard car as the dimensions of the wheels between the two are identical. I do like the looks of it, but I don't buy into the specialness aspect of it. Fundamentally, underneath it's just a regular G82 with the rear seats removed. I know I'll get hate for saying this, let me have it |
