The goal: Make larger vehicles without increasing weight. The result: Next generation M3. The engineers were able to accomplish something that seems like it would be impossible to do. The built a stronger and larger model of the M3, but still managed to cut the weight by 7% when compared to the previous model.
In an Inside Line interview with Gerhard Richter, vice president, BMW M Gmbh, yet another iteration of the still lighter CSL is a dead-lock guarantee. It seems BMW has figured out that people will pay more for increased agility that doesn’t necessarily include monster horsepower.
Now that we know the M3 CSL will always have a place in the Bimmer lineup, the only question left is when, what kind of diet we’re talking about, and how much it’s going to cost. We’d be happy with a run of the mill M3 until those answers become available.
