I think one of the hardest things you have to wrap your head around, is that a car like this really isn’t meant to just be driven around on the roads every day. Sure you could daily drive it, but it’s almost at a point where it’s too expensive and just not built right to drive around normally. I’m not saying garagequeen them, but most people will get into more trouble with a modded four series than they will ever need.
True a m440i would be better
I think I'm just getting too old. That looks positively painful driving it lol
Yep, good ole garage princess you only drive once a month and hope to resell for the same price 3 years later.
amazing as always
I'll be honest, I never realized how laggy those paddle shifts are until I see it in the context of a "CSL" model that costs $140k.
M4 owner here. He was in the medium transmission setting the whole time, besides 11:45 - 14:00 . When the transmission is on level '3' it's actually quite fast for an auto and hits pretty hard like a DCT
As someone who owns a 2014 5-series that also has the 8spd ZF auto, that’s definitely not the limit of that transmission. In sport+ mode that thing shifts pretty much DCT fast
@Tflem92027 Is that why the downshifts in particular are delayed? Even my IS 500 whose transmission gets hated on constantly has less lag in the downshifts.
If you have $140k and choose this…. oh boy.
Ya I'll take the C8 ZO6 any day
Why wouldn’t you choose this
@wamm3770 you can save a lot by getting a regular M4 and flashing the differential/transmission and engine and you'll get it to behave like this, as far as cosmetics you can by everything to make it look like a csl. Unless you are a collectors, your 140k can buy you some truly special cars.
sounds sick
Hey Chris I watch all your videos and love them! I have a simple request, when you do the initial start up could you please either buckle the seatbelt or give us an exterior shot with audio? The “buckle up” chime always comes on. It interrupts the first impression of the motor. Love you dude thanks for these videos!
i love the interior
For $140k one would think they’d go pretty balls to the wall with it because the M5 and M8 cost the same. It’s $40k above the base price for the M4. It’s a lot more than a CTS-V Blackwing which has a ridiculous amount of power with a much bigger engine. How does this stack up against the other vehicles in the segment? Who is this car built for? What is its purpose?
its built mostly for the track not for daily driving
u cud daily drive but its better on track with all that grip
Regular M3/M4s are faster than the blackwing & with mods they smoke them. This car is for a collector, it WILL go up in value as it gets older.
track car dummy
@@s0ljawitch503 But for 140k it's a terrible option for track use. Plus why would you use a heavy, fat platform as your track car (if it's dedicated for that purpose).
@@pranavshankar5500the people who bought these are probably just gonna put this beauty in a museum..lol
So dope
Nice review!
FYI those buckets can be tilted with the right tools (I carry them in the trunk). I am currently in the lowest position on mine with some tilt. Perfect! Just did a 200 miles drive last week. Perfectly comfortable on he interstate…
I do agree it should be best on the track but I need to finish break in first.
Slipping straight into character with the double-parking.
Bruv...what are the odds...i just oppened yt to search for some m4 competition videos cuz i want to buy one haha XD
dream car.
such an awesome car
Beautiful racing machine ⚡️
Off topic but can’t resist to ask - what’s that nice watch you are rocking?
Can you do a comparison with the current gen G8X M3/M4 vs F8X Gen M3/M4?
Those downshifts sound sleepy like a Nissan Z automatic. Upshifts are brutal, though.
Nice review. thanks. I did not like the downshift pressure, my X5m with akrapovic and stage 2 tune has waaaay more agressive downshift
Man I just wish the exterior would look as good as the interior...
I like the looks of the previous model m4 more
The seat cups your body like a baseball glove.
BMW m4 vs rcf ? What is your choice ?
Still cannot believe BMW put a ZF auto in this car. Absolutely mind blowing.
I would love to see a Giulia GTAm on this channel.
The "Game Show Host" Topher
license plate being B48 is hilarious considering that is the engine code for the 4 cylinder in the 4 series
considering it's BMWs base engine in the G chassis😅
At the time when I get to university, give me a BMW M4.
ct4v blackwing and c7 z06 for the price of this car, the perfect daily and the perfect track monster/ weekend car although they both identify vice versa 😅
Is it me or substitute topher voice is more relaxing?
I want to see an x6m POV🙏🏼
Is it Virginia?
Woah
M4 CSL or Mustang GT500?
This or an M5 CS?
Fun car to drive
Did man try to go in for a shift at 11:18?😂
ahahaha muscle memory lol
He shifted up using the gear selector, i do it sometimes when I'm turning and using the paddles would be awkward.
@@Aadilf1 Same. I do the same thing in the IS sometimes. If I'm pulling out into a street, it is usually easier to do it with the gear selector.
Tried a 440M X drive..and TBH the turn initiate felt so simulated/fake and the rear end often was sluggish by comparison. I figure the RWD option/s are much more ideal of an actual/thrilling drive. The thing was too nose/heavy and touchy up front. Be it breaking/corner initiation etc...the car definitely lacked POLISH from an overall driver feel. SO heavy too much low end/torque to really "FEEL" the suspension/steering potential the car had to offer...if EVEN.
140k for any bmw is crazy. I can get a regular g82 for a fraction lol.
Rev on cold? Look at the temp gauge
Can't figure out why someone would spend 140k on this instead of a mid/rear engine sports car
What would you choose?
@@KandiMan GT4
wow the red outline on the hood is hideous!
Feedback, control and grip from the M5's double wishbone front end will never make it to the M3's strut front.
Where is the 0-60?
15:40
BMW M cars are excellent road cars...up to a point. This M4 CSL however is more of a turn-key racing car that just happens to wear a license plate. You wouldn't daily a Lotus Exige or a 911 GT3, and this is kind of where this M4 CSL stands. Honestly the M4 Comp is MORE than enough car for street use, you probably be in agony with back & wallet pains with the CSL.
The E46 m3 CSL will remain as the modern legit lightweight, this thing is 600 pounds heavier than my 981 GT4 so…..
this generation is just too damn heavy M package X drive so heavy on that 4 series platform...so simulated/flyby wire FRONT end steer/turn initiate...that the car/rear end never translates as IDEAL. complete waste of $$$ AND ENGINEERING. Not to mention the 2300-2700 rpm boost/torque curve...makes it emotionless even in the CITY/canyon smdh.
Usually smart people choose their route when they want to enjoy their ride, especially if you’re about to review a CSL…
This or Giulia GTAm? Vote below
If I won the lottery tomorrow this would be my first purchase
@4:10 The dude just farted. listen.
No cup holder for coffee rather drive a Honda
Beautiful interior unlike a polestar 😂
That door closing sounds like a 20k economy car
With an automatic it seems boring to drive
no
This car looks impressively boring for the street. So odd to see a car where the speedometer increases quickly, and sounds like it's doing something, yet looks slow at the same time.
Cars aren't getting any cheaper
A rwd car with no rear seats is 300lb lighter than an awd car with rear seats. Not impressive in the slightest.
e46 csl > chinese bimmer
Why would anyone buy this over Tesla plaid? For that price or close to it.
oh yeah let me just take a tesla plaid to the track
but admittedly theres just way better options for $140k even for tracking… wtf are they doing
tesla plaid is boring and i see a billion of them in oc
Because it has a petrol engine and is not some bland and boring car you see every day? And it's not made by a company owned by Elon. But yeah, I'd also buy something else for the price of this. The previous model M4 for example, lol.
I already watched this video with the sub Topher, you guys are doing the exact same channel why should anyone subscribe to both?
This car has never really appealed to me tbh. It falls in with the R8 GT, RCF Track Edition, etc. etc. basically just cars that are a track or special edition that have ridiculous markups because of low production numbers and just give you some minor weight reduction, slightly changed suspension, and a bunch of carbon fiber. They're just collector cars and even as collector cars I don't really get the point. Seems like a waste of a badge with a lot of history and prestige behind it from what I understand, as a non-BMW aficionado.
this or a Carrera S..hmm i know this is a specialty BMW but there's no way a sane person should take this over a 911
First :)
Id rather walk or take the public bus......nougth said
thats all u can afford anyway
@@luke-ew8qd its about taste.....bring Bangle back.......hahahaha
I don't understand the purpose of this car. It's too brutal even drive to the track and costs 140K. So you're going to trailer it to the track. At that point, just buy a track car that will be far less money and just as fast. I really don't understand the purpose of this or the GT3 RS other than "we could build it so we did."
I agreed until you also placed the GT3 RS in question as well. That car has a purpose which explains why it’s so sought after.
@@IamJewz The GT3 RS is supposed to be completely unbearable on the road. It's in the same class at the CSL.
