I think he will miss the NA engine ALOT.

Of course, I missed carburettors for a while ;)

thats not the same. :smokin:

He mentioned Porsche having success with niche performance variants, so if they're going to follow the GT2 / GT3 model, then the answer to that question is probably "no".

if it will be 1200 kg with 500 hp and sounds like the carbon airbox on steroids, then im in. :supz: somehow i doubt it :hahaha:

If it looks like this then I know what's replacing the 63 :smokin: might get my intent / name down anyway.

Nice photoshop

I think there's too much reading between the lines. By his statement I didn't get the impression a CSL was coming. Maybe something more like a GTS.

However, I hope I'm wrong.

Either way, the more I see/read about the new M3/M4 the more I have reservations.

I've decided I want to go back to an E92 V8. So, come the end of the month my M135i will be gone and I'll be looking for a bare bones basic V8 coupe. Budget £20-25k.

I'm done with new cars and I'll be more than happy with a V8, CSL, etc. I want N/A screamers and I don't care if they're slower ultimately. All I'm looking for is fun that doesn't rape me on depreciation.

The gentleman that did us the presentation in Munich told me back in December there will be no CSL in the M4 platform.
Also if you remember the test driver was explaining that they did everything they had done in the CSL in the new M3/M4 and it's very difficult to get it lighter.
If it will have to be lighter they will probably have issues passing EU regulations.

I think the new M3/M4 are good cars.
Unfortunately, I don't see a hardcore version coming.
Maybe they will make one hybrid, like the i8 ;)

Maybe a evolution and they just tweak up the HP, and put on some fancy door mirrors, boot spoiler and carbon bucket seats as an option.
