We bring your the first spy pics showing the 2023 3.0 CSL from all angles! According to ynguldyn the 3.0 CSL will be produced for just a few months starting 11/22.

The super-expensive, super-limited 3.0 CSL will be mostly configured like the M4 CSL but with manual transmission, several options (comfort access, parking sensors, electric seats) deleted, and original forged wheels in 20" front 21" rear sizes.

It will use the S58 from the manual M3/M4, tuned to 560hp.

Looks WAYYY better here

PLF69 · 06-29-2022, 05:36 AM

Is it me or these look like center lock wheels ?

MadBimmeRad · 06-29-2022, 05:36 AM

Looks good, but you know what else looks even better, $1.4m in your pocket because that's what this car will cost in Australia

10" · 06-29-2022, 05:38 AM

what a disappointment.

the 3.0CSL Hommage concept wasn't perfect but at least it looked bespoke and unique; with its own modern interpretation of classic BMW design cues.

This looks like a narrower (!) M4 with a better grille and some loopy bodykit bits.

Bimmercs · 06-29-2022, 05:46 AM

Im just curious to see how they will justify the pricetag of this thing.

This looks like a narrower (!) M4 with a (much) better grille and some loopy body kit bits.

Yeah I agree that concept had some beautiful bodywork. This is too close to the M4

Wouldn't you? Besides, how much super car could you buy for that price? A lot more than this I'd bet

MPSdriver · 06-29-2022, 06:05 AM

It has the grill the G80/81 should have come with

People who purchase these cars already have "everything". The cost is irrelevant to them. Saying it another way, how many extremely limited cars (50 examples) can you get for that money? Not much as most hyper limited cars are much more expensive…

gurusaint · 06-29-2022, 06:16 AM

Lol @ floating rear calipers on a $300k+ car. A non decalled M4 GT3 with a CSL body kit would have sufficed

PackPride85 · 06-29-2022, 06:45 AM

The rear was never going to match the concept since there wasn't really a way to have a functional trunk if everything was one piece. They should have at least kept the side exhaust. Maybe had to change a lot for safety regulations.

thurston · 06-29-2022, 06:53 AM

Kidneys look a lot better here.

playswcars · 06-29-2022, 06:54 AM

Hey look, here it is without camo!

Darth One · 06-29-2022, 06:55 AM

I do want to applaud bmw for apparently improving the G82, but this looks like the M4 LCI, not a "bespoke, coachbuilt" successor to the 3.0 CSL

emulajavi · 06-29-2022, 06:58 AM

Hood line placed correctly!

If they can place it correctly here there’s no reason for them to having placed it in the middle of nowhere on the M4.

jfritz27 · 06-29-2022, 07:00 AM

I donut care.

duky · 06-29-2022, 07:14 AM

Wow what a dream it would be to have this thing in my garage. M is celebrating their 50th in a really awesome way. The reality is that BMW is a big company and to expect big companies to make truly custom, one off cars is unrealistic. It's amazing to me that this project (even with the M4 base) got greenlit within such a large corporate environment. I'm sure it will be an amazing driver's car, look great, sound great, and be very very fast. And they're probably learning a lot from it in terms of making the next gen M4 that mere mortals like me can luckily afford. Kudos to the team - can't wait to see the final product

nicksm3 · 06-29-2022, 07:16 AM

Atleast it doesn't have tires

Chihuahua · 06-29-2022, 07:46 AM

Wow, no hofmesiter kink on a 3.0 CSL? Am I seeing this right?

Lefty de Vito · 06-29-2022, 07:47 AM

This is how the kidneys should have been from the start. Bold, but not huge.
Good job, BMW.

I like that one.
