2023 BMW M4 CSL

by Mike Hunter

Introducing the 2023 BMW M4 CSL — the fastest BMW M4 ever made. Already breaking records on the Nürburgring, this feat of engineering fuses incredible agility, power and precision — for driving dynamics that few will experience and none will forget.

Born for the racetrack, the Limited Edition BMW M4 CSL has achieved the fastest Nürburgring lap time of any road-ready BMW. A 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine delivers 543 horsepower, while the re-tuned suspension is lowered by 8mm for increased precision and more dynamic handling. It stands out with a vertical kidney grille, sculpted hood and available Icon Adaptive LED headlights with Laserlight. The lightweight carbon fiber hood and front splitter enhance the exceptional aerodynamics and visuals of the M4 CSL. A carbon fiber rear diffuser and trunk lid with integrated ducktail improve downforce, stability and maneuverability at increased speeds.

Standard M Carbon Full Bucket seats are highly bolstered, incredibly lightweight and boldly designed with eye-catching contrast stitching. The standard Dynamic Digital Instrument Cluster gets an M-specific focus, enabling the driver to access all digital vehicle features in a seamless, driver-oriented environment.

Purists will love the manual transmission of the BMW M4 Coupe, while drivers in the Competition models enjoy the precision of an 8-speed M Sport automatic transmission. The BMW M4 Competition xDrive Coupe includes standard M xDrive with 4WD, 4WD Sport and 2WD modes — a perfect partner for the standard M Differential and Adaptive M Suspension.

Designed for track dominance, high-performance M Carbon Ceramic Brakes with red calipers complement the CSL-exclusive lightweight matte black forged alloy wheels and ultra-high-performance available Michelin® Pilot® Sport Cup 2 R tires.
