Since the new E90 series BMW M3 was revealed at the Frankfurt Auto Show last year, true BMW enthusiasts have been intrigued, but waiting for the CSL to come along. Standing for Coupe, Sport, Lightweight, those three letters name the most track-focused and pure driver’s cars BMW has to offer. However, according to BMW’s new M Division boss, Ludwig Willisch, plans for a new CSL M3 have been dropped.

The car was originally meant to be launched in the middle of next year but instead the M division engineers will now focus on developing new performance variants of the X5 and X6 – both of which have been spotted testing on both sides of the Atlantic. It would have featured a power output of somewhere between 450 and 470hp, along with a 100kg lighter chassis than the standard M3, competition tires, and plenty of carbon-fiber accessories.
Speaking with CAR, Willisch said that “based on current numbers, there is most likely insufficient demand for the M3 CSL.’ As for the rest of the M range, Willisch previously revealed that there will be no M3 Touring model, no 1-series based M car and definitely no M1 supercar.

They will certainly not drop the CSL brand. That is worth too much. The question is if we will recognise the product behind the badge. I have high hopes for the next CSL but it will be another 2-4 years until it is here and it will be quite far from the E46 CSL...
