First of all, in terms of drive form, the M4 CSL will continue to retain the classic layout of BMW's front-mounted rear-drive, after rumors that four-wheel drive models equipped with the xDrive system will not appear in the M4 CSL's model list. However, for pure performance car fans, the news that the new M4 CSL is no longer available may disappoint them. It is reported that the reason is not out of sales concerns, but purely technical problems. BMW's classic 6-speed manual transmission can't withstand the power of the upgraded engine.

In terms of power, the 370kW (503 hp) 3.0T engine in the cabin of the current M4 Competiton will receive a series of technical upgrades, and its maximum power may reach the level of 405kW (550 hp). In addition, as a lightweight model, BMW's engineers have also done a lot of weight reduction work, from the spy photos exposed by foreign media before, the rear seats of the test car have been completely removed. It is reported that the car may be more than 100 kg lighter than the current model.
It is reported that this new car will be officially released later this spring, or will be like its predecessors, in the form of official limited editions to highlight the rarity. It is inferred that the North American market will absorb most of the 1,000 vehicle production.
