BMW has publicly announced it will not be making an E9X CSL BMW Shelves Plans for E92 M3 CSL We are sorry to have to bring you the gut-wrenching news that has surfaced today. M Division boss Luwig Willisch has confirmed that the pure performance orientated E92 BMW M3 CSL will NOT make it to production. BMW believes that there will be insufficient demand for the model and will instead focus its efforts of the M Division on the M versions of the X5 and X6. The lighter and more performance orientated CSL (Coupe Sport Lightweight) was expected to drop in weight by up to 100kg due to the use of much lighter materials for its components and rumours also stated a power rating of 450bhp-470bhp could have been achieved. The news follows previous confirmations that the premium automaker will not create a rival to the Audi R8 or a production version of the M1 Homage concept, yet they still promote the the slogan “Ultimate driving machine”. Perhaps “Money Making Machine” would suit them better? > **[Motor1.com | Car Reviews, Automotive News and Analysis](https://www.motor1.com/)** > > Bringing car buyers and enthusiasts the latest US and world auto news, industry trends, in-depth reviews, high-res images and live auto show coverage. ---

> [@66impalass](#): > > BMW has publicly announced it will not be making an E9X CSL I read that a few weeks ago… and almost cried ☹ M3R ? F1 inspired motor… I wish… ☹ 100K base M3 revs to 10K 550hp… would blow the doors off anything… and it WOULD NOT be an M5 competitor. ITs perfect in my eyes… cause seriously they have to make the M3 GTR a prod car… 100 made lol F that… an M3r/f1 would be sick as shit ---

Dan, there is a real reason why something like that will NEVER happen. It’s because it’s actually likely they will build a new age M1. Besides, the e46 m3 CSL was a big meh. Wasnt light enough and most of it’s percieved “grip” came from cup tires. Big deal, order them from tire rack. ---

I just hate the shadow the M5 casts on the M3… but … the M1… I hope its the supercar like it was… ---
