I know these cars are faster and far more advanced,but BMW just don't seem to get the point,the M3csl is just so good,I think they shot themselves in the foot 12 years ago and it will take some beating now,unless they throw caution to the wind

This could possibly qualify

Totally agree. Maybe they are keeping it for something which will be a coupe, with the 'M3' badge in the back and will be more beautiful and without a 'M4' badge in the back.

God, how much i hate the M4. BMW's biggest failure after the X1 and X3

Don't like it either! They should consider changing some things for better proportions on the car.

Top Gear mag on the new Car mentions the
2003: BMW M3 CSL
This, the E46 generation M3 – and the third generation to wear the M3 badge – came as standard with a 3.2-litre engine producing 343bhp, and could sprint from 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds. All nice and lovely.

But in 2003, BMW decided to resurrect the ‘CSL’ nameplate to make it nicer and lovelier. Yep, the E46 M3 CSL is one of the greats, with more power from that 3.2-litre straight-six (360bhp), and many lightweight body panels to strip the fat.

The roof, centre console and door panels were all constructed using CFRP, it had a lighter, thinner rear window, and the air-con and stereo were junked.

As a result, BMW’s test runs at the Nürburgring returned a time of 7m 50s. All 1,383 CSLs were sold within a space of months. Find one, drive it once, and then store it for all time in a hermetically sealed box.

I could be very wrong here but I would guess if we were given the chance to own an M4 GTS we would all jump at the chance. I'm sure it's a totally awesome machine and would make us all drool. We slate it because we are so protective of the CSL and rightly so but I would love to try it out.
