if course regular M4 will be a lot better, but when you tune the car it loses the value so if you want to get high performance M4 G82 without losing that much money you should go with the CSL version
One thing I really appreciate in this car is the exhaust. The lack of pops and burbles and more of the engine sound is good to hear. The S58 imo sounds great and the excessive pops and burbles in the regular M cars doesn’t do it any justice.

The M4 CSL, XM, and the 3.0 CSL Homage are without a doubt, the most controversial M cars to date with the M4 CSL being the "lesser offender" if you will. Also, the M Heritage badge is meant to commemorate 50 years of M. I get that the XM Label Red is on its way and is supposedly going to be better in terms of performance, but the XM as a whole is honestly a huge slap in the face for BMW considering it's supposed to be the "successor" to the M1 from the late 70s to early 80s. Their first mistake was making it an SUV, and second, making it a plug-in hybrid. You can tell it's meant to be more of a status symbol than a true M car. The 3.0 CSL Homage is a weird case as it's simply a re-bodied M4, that comes as a manual, has 10 more horsepower than the M4 CSL, it's limited to 50 units, and supposedly costs around $750,000.

I'd rather get an M4 comp xdrive and put $20k of mods into it than have this collectors piece, but I've loved the m4 since the f82 first came out and I'm proud that BMW gave the "fastest BMW ever" title to an M4!
yeah surprising, you will see the classic yellow lights used on race cars going back to the 2002 and likely even older.... functionally speaking the yellow lights help cut through foggy conditions
I swear its like BMW felt the need to CSL badge everything to justify the price tag. It is a truly awesome car and I would take this over any Mercedes AMG or Audi product. With only 1000 examples being made I bet I'll manage to see one in my local market.

@@EdwardTheMortgageGuyI feel like this car made for all the tech, crypto or trust funds bros. It’s just an expensive exterior kit and probably sold on future car auctions as a collectible 20 years later
This car is PURE THEATRE. I think its my favorite car on sale right now. I know the M2 is more of a drivers car and this only comes with the ZF 8A but I don't care! No reAr seats and carbon buckets just speak to me.
The American muscle car motif has been slowly, but surely, been making their way into the German motif of performance models. Ya, ya, the comparison has been long in the tooth, but you have to admit, this M4 CSL definitely has some special edition Mustang angles to it.
When the E46 M3 CSL came out I lusted after it. I ended up buying a MY 2006 M3 Competition Package in late 2005 which was the closet that I could get in the US. I'm sure that this car is more capable - but it's approximately 600lbs heavier. I didn't feel anything but disappointment watching you cover everything.
Idk man, i dont like the look of this thing either. Its not even the front, i like it on the m3.. All of the styling looks like its created for the younger crowd. There is no elegance. Those M4 CSL stickers....
I love the M4 and even I know it doesn't look amazing. It looks good to me because I've learned to love it, but objectively I understand it doesn't look great. Mainly the front. However, a modified frozen black M4 with yellow lights and extra aero like the one Tunercult gave away not a long ago looks perfect. Even objectively it looks good. And if you look at an M4 with the Adro body kit it fixes the front grill and makes it look way better
it’s almost like Bimmer said, “let’s make a 4series as ostentatious and uncomfortable as possible then see how high of a price we can tag on it, limit its production then watch people hurry in line and pay over the already sky-high price for it”. 😂
I absolutely think that BMW is testing how much their customer base is willing to tolerate when it comes to aesthetics. Essentially, let's see how ugly we can make these before sales start taking a hit.
Wonder why they decided to bring back the CSL trim as opposed to GTS. M4 GTS was disappointing, but the M3 GTS was the coolest M car of this generation. Doubt they could live up to that in today's car climate, but would be interesting to see them try in addition to this badge-monster CSL.
Such a nice car, but I’m so much in love with my E46 CSL. Make me smile the moment I turn the ignition ❤️ and so beautiful 💕 But sure this is a fantastic car 👍🏻
I think it’s funny because it’s 140, but he’s not factoring in the markup which is probably 20k or more, and at that price you can get the M4 Comp and turn it into a CSL, do all the exact same styling crap, JB4 and bolt ons for 10s of thousands cheaper
The weight of all these new bmws os so depressing, the m5 was always supposed to be the big heavy almost german muscle car but now even the m2 weights an absolute ton, M was never really a motorsport wing aside from the m1 and e30 m3 but the older cars were beautiful and purposful, the price tag on this comoared to the normal m4 really shows that these cars are just for rich people to flex with much like what amg became, classic bmw m cars were so under the radar and restrained
Doug, I love you. But PLEASE GIVE US MORE TIME TO ANALYZE WHAT CARS YOU'VE BEEN RECENTLY SOLD AT CARS AND BIDS!!! I HATE having to pause 73 times to see the cars. I don't know who told you it was better this way.
Hey Doug! You should try to get ahold of a Golf MK2 or a Golf MK1 that was produced in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina back in ex Yugoslavia. That car has a cult status in Bosnia and Herzegovina! Cheers!
Some people must just have a LOT of passion for the CSL model? Because you're correct, that as Doug points out, the model is OUTCLASSED as a dedicated Track Car, while also being completely impractical as a Daily Driver.
Spoiler: The rain shorted out the limited CSL illuminated kickplate. OEM replacement will be $880 + 1hr BMW labor. Also, are the door switches still responding?
Having been an M4 owner in the past, the existence of this CSL would put me off ever buying another M4. Buying a M car used to be a bit of a flex to yourself, you've just bought the most prestigious car that BMW do. There always was CSLs but they weren't that much visually different. But if I bought a G series M4, I'd feel like I've settled for the poverty M4 because this thing is so much more M car than the regular M4. It's like this is what the M4 should have been, whereas the base model is a watered down tame cheap model.
20:07 Min.: You only can compare the steering with the standard M4 when they both have the same tires mounted on! Otherwise you can't figure out, what really affects the feeling more, the steering itself or the tires!

This car is PURE THEATRE. I think its my favorite car on sale right now. I know the M2 is more of a drivers car and this only comes with the ZF 8A but I don't care! No reAr seats and carbon buckets just speak to me.
The American muscle car motif has been slowly, but surely, been making their way into the German motif of performance models. Ya, ya, the comparison has been long in the tooth, but you have to admit, this M4 CSL definitely has some special edition Mustang angles to it.
Yellow front lights reminds me of yellow front light u could see on cars in France many years ago, on cars made before 1993. They looked awesome
It's getting real hard to tell these and Mustangs apart at a glance at thumbnail size.
I thought I would be the only person to notice that.
That’s why from a weight point of view, the ///M2C is probably the best option but even that is gradually increasing in weight too
When the E46 M3 CSL came out I lusted after it. I ended up buying a MY 2006 M3 Competition Package in late 2005 which was the closet that I could get in the US. I'm sure that this car is more capable - but it's approximately 600lbs heavier. I didn't feel anything but disappointment watching you cover everything.
I actually really like that Heritage Logo it's draws my eye seeking attention lol
Doug the kind of guy would wears Power Rangers PJs
Thanks, now I can't get that picture out of my head. You're going to hell for that
I live in a pretty big military town, so there's a few M4 around. One is black out I front, so it looks great because you can't see the grill 😅
I don't care what Doug says, saying that the M4 looks above average is the same as saying that the Multipla isn't ugly.
Idk man, i dont like the look of this thing either. Its not even the front, i like it on the m3.. All of the styling looks like its created for the younger crowd. There is no elegance. Those M4 CSL stickers....
I love the M4 and even I know it doesn't look amazing. It looks good to me because I've learned to love it, but objectively I understand it doesn't look great. Mainly the front. However, a modified frozen black M4 with yellow lights and extra aero like the one Tunercult gave away not a long ago looks perfect. Even objectively it looks good. And if you look at an M4 with the Adro body kit it fixes the front grill and makes it look way better
Loved the tail light wave😂
it’s almost like Bimmer said, “let’s make a 4series as ostentatious and uncomfortable as possible then see how high of a price we can tag on it, limit its production then watch people hurry in line and pay over the already sky-high price for it”. 😂
I absolutely think that BMW is testing how much their customer base is willing to tolerate when it comes to aesthetics. Essentially, let's see how ugly we can make these before sales start taking a hit.
@@taylorpilewski People buy these cars to show off, it makes you feel silly showing off a super ugly car. Frankly, I think I'd rather have a mustang.
The CSL is sweet but I still love the styling of the GTS more
Wonder why they decided to bring back the CSL trim as opposed to GTS. M4 GTS was disappointing, but the M3 GTS was the coolest M car of this generation. Doubt they could live up to that in today's car climate, but would be interesting to see them try in addition to this badge-monster CSL.
Hell naa, e90 CRT was better than e92 gts
I’m hoping they make the G82 M4 GTS. Would love an M4 GT4 with plates.
Doug is the type of guy to say "wubah blubah plubah" going over train tracks. 17:53
Doug is the kind of guy who has a lot of viewers writing "Doug is the kind of guy" jokes in the TH-cam comments section.
A lot of the lowest IQ viewers annoying millions with these stupid comments
It’s such a shame the yellow running lights ruin the whole car. At least it’s a relatively cheap thing to correct.
Such a nice car, but I’m so much in love with my E46 CSL. Make me smile the moment I turn the ignition ❤️ and so beautiful 💕
But sure this is a fantastic car 👍🏻
The profile look’s like a Gt-R
A quick glance at the thumbnail and I thought this was a Mustang review
I think it’s funny because it’s 140, but he’s not factoring in the markup which is probably 20k or more, and at that price you can get the M4 Comp and turn it into a CSL, do all the exact same styling crap, JB4 and bolt ons for 10s of thousands cheaper
I showed my wife the side profile and asked her what she thought it was, and she said, "Is that the new Mustang?"
Says it all really, doesn't it?
Mustang with BMW badges
@@18rollinhard Mustang looks good
Really says that your wife doesnt know shit about cars
Both cars look amazing so what’s the issue?
@@kraenk12 It's pretty obvious, isn't it? The fact you can buy 6 new Mustangs for the price of an M4 CSL.
The weight of all these new bmws os so depressing, the m5 was always supposed to be the big heavy almost german muscle car but now even the m2 weights an absolute ton, M was never really a motorsport wing aside from the m1 and e30 m3 but the older cars were beautiful and purposful, the price tag on this comoared to the normal m4 really shows that these cars are just for rich people to flex with much like what amg became, classic bmw m cars were so under the radar and restrained
Doug: the price is a really high figure
BMW: we sold out
Doug, I love you. But PLEASE GIVE US MORE TIME TO ANALYZE WHAT CARS YOU'VE BEEN RECENTLY SOLD AT CARS AND BIDS!!! I HATE having to pause 73 times to see the cars. I don't know who told you it was better this way.
Totally agree on the heritage roundel design not being great.
I love that logo! Goes great with the colour scheme of the car
Imagine paying 140K for this car 🤯
Hey Doug! You should try to get ahold of a Golf MK2 or a Golf MK1 that was produced in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina back in ex Yugoslavia. That car has a cult status in Bosnia and Herzegovina! Cheers!
Whats the difference to a Golf 1/2 produced elsewhere?🤔
Side profile looks like a Mustang.
Rear looks like an Infiniti.
Front looks like 🐽
😂😂
the plates gave me a chuckle, b47 is the engine i have in my daily beater 4 series
they managed to make the grill worse
2:20 “at no charge”
Doug means: “at no extra charge” or “they are included in the price of the car”. Subtle difference.
Difference without distinction. Find a better use for your time.
@@ImARealHumanPerson
You too.
Heavy, ugly, impractical. Why buy this when a GT3 exists?
And it's an auto.
They can throw as much carbon fibre tat at that as they like, it's still boggingly ugly.
Some people must just have a LOT of passion for the CSL model? Because you're correct, that as Doug points out, the model is OUTCLASSED as a dedicated Track Car, while also being completely impractical as a Daily Driver.
Seeing the side profile i was pretty sure this was the Mustang CSL 😆
Doug is the kind of guy to go on a weight loss journey to save weight for his car
huge fail on trying to be even a little funny
@@slowery43 look at all your recent comments. They’re all hate 😂😂 who hurt you buddy?
@@slowery43 I thought it was a lot of funny. After all, every pound matters so a lighter driver will be faster.
Spoiler: The rain shorted out the limited CSL illuminated kickplate.
OEM replacement will be $880 + 1hr BMW labor.
Also, are the door switches still responding?
Bloated, ugly and overpriced - yup definitely a modern M car.
Doug, Doug, Doug, the yellow lights are one of the best things about it. :)
the yellow running lights make it look like a hotwheels... pretty cool
Having been an M4 owner in the past, the existence of this CSL would put me off ever buying another M4. Buying a M car used to be a bit of a flex to yourself, you've just bought the most prestigious car that BMW do. There always was CSLs but they weren't that much visually different. But if I bought a G series M4, I'd feel like I've settled for the poverty M4 because this thing is so much more M car than the regular M4. It's like this is what the M4 should have been, whereas the base model is a watered down tame cheap model.
After all these years Doug has finally upgraded his shorts for a pair of pants.
Yeah ! I noticed that too. No more dork ?
Reminds me a lot of the BOSS 302 laguna seca, which I cannot believe Doug still have not reviewed yet
That carbon hood is so dope . BMW is the best
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought it was a Mustang from the side view
"this logo looks like a loading icon on an app" a scathing criticism from one so well versed in beauty and fashion
Those seats are pure AWESOME.
For that price you could get two Camaro ZL1s
Bmw is one supercar away from making one of the best cars of the current era.
When Doug talks about his website he sounds like he's about to crack up after every word :)
20:07 Min.: You only can compare the steering with the standard M4 when they both have the same tires mounted on! Otherwise you can't figure out, what really affects the feeling more, the steering itself or the tires!
Doug is 2m high., That thing is HUGE! Basically should be a Grand Tourer. I don't know what are they thinking lol
Just came here to say, from the side profile I thought it was a Mustang.
@Doug DeMuro: These models and years are for real. Good job reviewing this one pimp.
@@GrindSultanYou're right. He usually does do that. I ignore it. I just enjoy looking at it.
I kinda like the yellow running lights honestly!! 👽🛸
