The 2023 BMW M4 CSL sits atop the brand's M lineup and is also its fastest car ever around the Nürburgring with a time of 7:20.2.
The boost pressure of the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 increases from the M4 Competition's 24.7 psi to 30.5 psi in the CSL, with engine mapping modified accordingly. Power output increases by 40 hp to 543 hp, but torque remains unchanged at 479 lb-ft. The 8-speed automatic transmission is tweaked for crisper gear changes and ideal gear ratios for the updated power. BMW stiffened both the engine and transmission mounts to help handle the increased power output.
The CSL will sound different from lesser M4s thanks to a new titanium rear silencer and less exhaust sound insulation, both for a lower tone and less weight. Using lighter sound deadener and less of it removed another 33 lb.CSL models will be easily spotted thanks to the yellow daytime running lights on the standard laser headlights. The CLS also debuts a taillight technology that uses standard LED bulbs but features light threads woven into the glass light housings.
Suspension and structure changes include a 0.3 inch drop in ride height, the use of forged-alloy springs and struts, the addition of auxiliary springs to keep the tires on the road, more negative front camber, unique anti-roll bars front and rear, a rigid rear subframe connection without rubber elements, and a front strut brace developed to handle the CSL's lateral loads.
