Gay is your comment Artist, 100% gay, and in fact i'm not even sure if you know what that word means 'cause you're constantly using it in completely wrong context, but i agree in some other way, that this is really pathetic of them and they're idiots... Complete idiots!
Now i wonder what our insiders have to say about this one... Oh wait, don't even bother, 'cause i might spit on those comments/arguments just like i've been spitting on almost every recent action of BMW... Hence why i don't post that much (like any of you cares...  )
Highly disappointed? Yes! Loosed my faith? Certainly not! But it doesn't look good at all... Ultimate Driving Machine might soon become Ultimate Green Machine and i say: F you and your green, efficient future!  | | | | | The Following 5 Users Say Thank You to Tycoon For This Useful Post: | | | Enthusiast

X6 CSL would be the nail in the casket. | | | | | Advocate

this is what scott posted after someone said that the M3 CSL is cancelled Quote:
There will be a M3 CSL.
What you have seem to forgotten is that the E92 M3 only arrived in September 2007. We are not even a Year past. Even less so for North America and other markets.
Sure in the space of the year we have had the launch of the E92,E90 and E93 M3 models.
But these are are only variants suited to each segment respectively.
The M3 CSL will be a continuation of the M3 series but not whilst the car is over a year old on the market which is why you must have patience.
Each M3 series is a high level than what had gone before and that progression features heavily in every new generation also this has to established in the market.
The M3 CSL will not appear over night as will the performance variations of the BMW 1er Coupe (again not even a year old).
But with each generation the M3 progresses several layers above each model. As previously The way to go is Lightweight whilst the focus remains on lightweight construction , BMW want to make these performance cars bearers for "Efficient Dynamics".
"Efficient Dynamics" will feature heavily in future BMW performance cars,
PS output and driving feel is one step , But normally unheard of "efficiency"will be a key word also.
What BMW wanted to do originally has now changed direction in terms of how much lightweight technology will be used and you can expect more than what had been seen before. recent closed door tests included a M3 and a 1er Coupe using different construction techniques and materials and more PS output to their respective production engines to their road car brothers. Whilst original models were thought of along with the M6 . BMW eventually realised there was more to offer with these cars and scrapped the original ideas. Hence why the concept of the CSL series is very much work -in-progress.
It is very much probable that the production car will be considerably more expensive than it's road car brother but what you will get is a highly individual M3 model in every respect from it's road car brother .
Miracles do not happen overnight that is why you have about two years to go.
| how come you all forgot this ?
this is not too long ago ... do you really want to start the truck discussion all over again ... sorry but this is all BS | | | | | The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to jack For This Useful Post: | | | Contributor

I do hope that's true, but recently, i've heard more cancellations than confirmations, so excuse me, but i reserve the right to be skeptic at this point so i have to vent my disappointment.  | | | | | GCZ's High Court

M3 CSL and most likely a 1 series CSL on their way, but of course they will be introduced towards the end of overall models life-cycle. | | | | | Aficionado
