Default BMW E92 M3 CSL Spotted at the Nurburgring ?





BMW E92 M3 CSL Spotted at the Nurburgring ?

Posted on Wednesday 5 September 2007

Spy photographers have taken the first pictures of what appears to be the latest M3 CSL running around the ‘Ring in street clothes. It’s not yet clear if this is in fact a CSL prototype at all, or if it’s anything more than an early mule, however the wider track and bootlid spoiler are obvious signs of a CSL version.

The most hard-edged version of the M3, the CSL is the lightened, small-run edition of BMW’s definitive sports coupe. The last version of the CSL sported more power than the standard M3, tuned suspension geometry, and a wider track, among other tweaks. Specs for the version have not yet been released, however BMW has publicly admitted in the past that it was building an E92 CSL. Considering how long the standard M3 underwent testing we don’t expect the CSL to arrive before 2009.

Already thread on this a few threads down.

It's quite early for them to be testing the CSL without the regular M3 out yet.

***MERGED***

wider track shouldve been on the normal M3, makes it look better than the current one. Price will be ridiculous though probably tread into top trim GTR territory

CSL used to be a icing on the cake, not the yolk that holds it together.

E46 for the win.

I find it funny that they use diff rims for the front and rear wheels. Must be the latest BMW design fad

That looks almost too subtle to be a CSL, but time will tell.
