Finally, the 2022 BMW M4 CSL, which brought the badge we saw in the early 2000s back to the streets, has important differences in technique and design.
The CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) badge, which dates back 50 years in BMW history, is still among the unforgettable with the success of the E9 in the Passenger Car Championship. This badge, which the brand reflects on the streets by using it on different cars in the process, brings with it the message of “going up” to the peak of performance. Complementing a theme in which M cars are made even lighter, with extra strength, the CSL logo was last seen in public sales with the M3 in the early 2000s. BMW, which has finally realized its new CSL car initiative for many years, greets its enthusiasts over the M4 after nearly 20 years. The 2022 BMW M4 CSL, which has been announced to be produced in total 1,000 units all over the world, will easily leave the Competition with its design details and figures. gives the guarantee. The M4 CSL will also be the best in the BMW road family with a time of 7,15,677 at the Nürburgring.
Magic numbers for 2022 BMW M4 CSL
With the M4 CSL, the figures that change according to the standard model will not be only on the side of lightness. With an increase of 40 horsepower to the twin-turbo-assisted inline six-cylinder machine located under the hood, the total figures are reflected in the technical table as 550 horsepower and 650 Nm torque. In this way, the version that has the most powerful road version badge of the M4 product range completes its acceleration from 0 to 100 in 3.7 seconds, while reaching a maximum speed of 307 km / h. The 0-200 value of the car is given as 10.7 seconds. The 8-stage Steptronic system is positioned as standard in the car, where the manual transmission option is not offered. The power transmission of the entire system is carried out via the rear wheels. It is also worth noting that the reason for preference on this side is the weight disadvantage brought by the 4×4 infrastructure. When we think about the lightness anxiety in the creation process of CSL, we can’t help but give credit to the team.
Coming with a weight value of 1,625 kilograms, the M4 CSL is approximately 100 kilograms lighter on a total basis than the standard M4. In order to achieve this, we see carbon fiber traces on the hood, roof and body panels, along with goodbye to the rear seats. When we go into the details on this side, we see that 24 kilograms of carbon fiber front seats, 21 kilograms with goodbye to the rear seats, 21 kilograms with the changes in the chassis. Light alloy carbon ceramic brakes are also responsible for taking both performance and safety to the next level in the new order. With all the parts coming together, a very serious power-to-weight ratio of 2.95 kg/hp emerges for the M4 CSL.

The version-specific suspension system, which will accompany the changes in the chassis, positions the vehicle lower than the Competition. Sway bars, which are also specially designed for the CSL, are among the changes highlighted by the engineering team in creating a more rigid performance car. Direct hardware-oriented changes in the infrastructure are also supported by electronic revisions. A completely overhauled traction control system for the M4 CSL will be responsible for optimizing the vehicle for drifting or other driving needs. Here, it is possible to talk about a system that will control the power transmission of the vehicle according to the weather conditions. The German price for the M4 CSL, whose prices have become clear with its introduction, will be 165,000 euros.
