Curator’s note
A lighter, harder M4 built in a limited run to mark 50 years of BMW M.
The M4 CSL is a lightweight special built for BMW M’s 50th anniversary. Its straight-six makes 550 PS, and removing the rear seats and using more carbon fibre saves around 100 kg over the M4 Competition.

The story
BMW M4
BMW revealed the M4 CSL in May 2022. The initials stand for Coupé Sport Leichtbau, a name first used on the 3.0 CSL of the 1970s and revived for the E46 M3 CSL.
Weight savings come from carbon-fibre panels, lighter seats, less sound insulation and the removal of the rear seats, while the suspension is lowered and retuned.
