But whom should we believe

This article says that the new CSL is expected in 2009 at IAA in Frankfurt.
2010 BMW M3 CSL to get 470-hp, top speed of 186mph


Let's hope the guy from BMW lies

Re: AMS Interview with BMW Chief of Development Klaus Draeger

Do you really expect him to just burst out with every piece of upcoming machinary from BMW. Some of this stuff is huge news so I doubt he is the man to release it in a small interview with a magazine.... C'mon guys!!!

Re: AMS Interview with BMW Chief of Development Klaus Draeger

If you really look beyond the lines you can see that the general topics of information are already that BMW board have made public.

For instance we know that their has been press releases regarding and indeed confirming models such as the PAS ,CS (GT 7) , X1 , RR04 and of course denial about production chances of the M1 Hommage .
Already available in the public domain.
BMW interviews have always never strayed beyond what is already known.
So when BMW want you to know "Whats up next?" they will let you.

Example : automedia phone up to ask about mysterious BMW prototype (we know it's out there but we deny it ) Sorry it's not a BMW , even though they know we are lying. It's all about product secrecy and creating the debate when the time comes then we let you know.

Re: AMS Interview with BMW Chief of Development Klaus Draeger

My theory:
No additional variants planned of the 3-series by BMW does not necessarilly mean no CSL, as an CSL would be a M3 variant, and thechnically the M3 is made by subsidiary M GmbH, not BMW directly.

Unless of course he says specifically said "no CSL"

Q: Can we expect a new M3 CSL?
A: No. We are very satisfied with the existing M3 model line: sedan, coupe & cabrio.



Saying that he also denied the M3 Touring, not only the CSL.

The answer is pretty direct, so I guess no CSL as long as uncle Draeger is happy with the current M3. As long as he is happy that is. But on the other hand, why reveal that you have something like that up your sleve a year and a half away...

Try this:

Hr. Dr. Prof. Käsekraut* said:

Q: Can we expect a M5 Touring or maybe one with a manual gear box?
A: No. We are very satisfied with the existing M5.

Now let's see, how did that work out?

* sounds made up, rightly so.
