Personally I hope they don't do a four door , and make it real hardcore, basic stripdown weapon, and not for at least another 10 years.

Four door would be awful.

Plenty of carbon fibre will be a good thing and as light as a feather.

Light and simple FTW. I hope it is really hardcore and not just a marketting exercise. Not holding out much hope.

Maybe my english is lacking but i don't get where you are reading that there will be a "new" CSL model?

All it says that the "GTS" moniker will be replaced by "CSL" in the future?

"[...]but he did confirm that we'll never see an X5 M CSL."

Never say never...

"However, he is open to 4-door M cars with CSL branding, even if they aren't coupes."

Yeah, the Coupe Sport Lightweight name makes sense for a car that isn't even a coupe.

I wouldn't get my hopes up to be honest, BMW has lost their way.
While AMG announced their Project One Car, BMW has announced that their new brand ambassador for BMW M is a fashion model.

BMW have certainly lost their way in recent years mass producing every niche car concept you could ever dream of and putting an '//M' badge on pretty much everything...

M6 gran coupe (4 door) CSL

I am sure these future amazing CSL models will be in excess of 1650 kilos
