Description:

The 2023 BMW M4 CSL revives one of the most iconic badges from BMW—CSL, which stands for Coupe Sport Leichtbau (lightweight construction). This philosophy dates back to legendary models like the BMW 3.0 CSL, known for blending racing performance with reduced weight.

With the M4 CSL, BMW brings this heritage into the modern era. Produced in limited numbers (1,000 units globally), it represents a purist approach to performance, focusing on weight reduction, track precision, and driving engagement.

Performance & Engineering

The 2023 BMW M4 CSL is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine delivering approximately 543 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. This upgraded engine pushes the CSL beyond the standard M4 Competition in both power and responsiveness.

The car accelerates from 0–100 km/h in around 3.7 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to approximately 307 km/h when equipped with the M Driver’s Package.

BMW significantly reduced weight by removing rear seats, using carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components, and optimizing the chassis. The result is a sharper, lighter, and more focused driving machine.
