With a total curb weight of 1,651 kg , the M4 CSL boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 3 kg/horsepower.
BMW has put some of the lighter carbon bits on display — the hood, for example, features two carbon panels that mirror the buck-toothed kidney grilles on the car’s front. The car sits on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with track-focussed Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires as standard, and the more road-appropriate M4 Comp’s Pilot Sport 4S tires as a no-cost option. Special M badges commemorating the milestone anniversary are also present on the rear, front side panels, and grille.
BMW will produce just 1,000 of the 2023 M4 CSL models and has earmarked 41 of them for the Canadian market. Pricing opens at $166,500 and production is set to begin this July.
