THE M4 CSL. Record Lap Nordschleife.

In test runs on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit, which represent the ultimate yardstick for brand-typical dynamics, agility and handling precision for all BMW M cars, the BMW M4 CSL posted a lap time of 7 min. 15.677 sec. on the version of the track traditionally used for comparison purposes - which is 20.600 kilometres / 12.8 miles in length (it doesn’t include the straight at section T13). The official and notarised lap time for the 20.832-kilometres / 12.9 miles circuit (the complete lap) was 7 min. 20.207 sec., the best figures ever for a series-produced BMW car. The BMW M4 CSL set a new official record in the middle class segment.
BMW M4 CSL:
Provisorial values: Fuel consumption weighted combined in l/100 km: 10.1-9.8 (WLTP), CO2 emissions weighted combined in g/km: 227-222 (WLTP)

Somewhat misleading title. The lap record is held by a Porsche 911 GT2 which did it in 6:38. I read the description "in the middle class segment". Beyond impressive and the driver and car came together to make that happen, not trying to take anything away from that. Words are important lol.

[@ertugrulbae46]

Why didn't BMW bother with M5CS official lap time? Seen that it's the top ///M flagship model..I think it deserved an official lap especially in summer, with Pilot Cup 2s/Cup 2 R tyres. Even standard M4 xDrive beat it by a whole second. And Sport Auto did the laps..a car mag outlet.. not BMW official But 7:20 is a killer of a time for a coupe road car. Absolutely phenomenal. I predicted 7:15 - 7:20. And it got 7:15 on the short track, 7:20 full length. Everything faster is either a hyper/supercar..or a track car with the names GT2/GT3/GT4 or GTR in the names. I reckon with a proper wing, some more aero parts at the front and an improved diffuser, it can probably beat it by atleast 5s-10s

I don't get why it still have classic automatic tran like some diesel 5-series. And is that a reason why driver steps on a throttle many times during cornering? Thats not the way we all learned during all these racing school lessons. With this, it does not seems like well ballanced car with good throttle response, which current "basic" M4 is not. And what about the 1625 kg of weight? Old CSLs must be spinning in their graves! Anyway, it's fast.

Too bad it could not beat the 7:16 time of the Camaro ZL1 1LE from 4 years ago. As a former M owner I’m upset this is all they could do.

[@kunalmore5212]

That camaro is a shit car and I’m 100% sure that time is fudged up

[@Amarjit_Singh]

Pretty sure that the 7:16 time was using the old track length (20.6km), the new track length of 20.832km was introduced in 2019.

[@cougarcon2172]

Go check the Camaro ZL1 1LE video, it's not a full lap...

[@Jonathan-zq8vs]

When you look at the ZL1 on paper, why should the M4 CSL beat it? Are you implying what they built is underwhelming because it doesn’t beat the ZL1? I’m pretty sure ZL1 makes WAY more downforce to go with +100HP on paper over the CSL… I say job well done BMW 🙌

(Mechanical design engineering background) I was seriously hoping for: a) A 200kg mass reduction. With advancements in FEA this was accomplishable, it's lazy from the engineers to just rely on lighter, basic parts. b) The rear aero is clean and the ducktail bootlid balances the car beautifully. But the front aero-wings on the bumper look cheap and ruin the aesthetics. c) It should SING! And it doesn't. Unlike the E46, it has no carbon airbox growl and no high pitched, tinny rasp from the exhaust. Why did no one think to get Yamaha involved with the development. d) The alloys need to POP, similar to the F82 GTS'. Besides those critiques, I love the M4CSL 🙌🏽

[@vollcare4076]

A) only reducing 100kg was most likely not ‘lazy’ but probably due to the budgets they wanted to spend; Or let’s say that 100kg saving was the amount which was possible to keep the sales price affordable Yes you might me able to cut weight on each single part of the car by specific design, material and manufacturing: But that car would be priced at one million € afterwards C) there are a lot more noise regulation now compared to the E46 times D) what do mean by alloys need to ‘pop’ ?

Acceleration looks insane in the CSL

Hey m power engineers, I know you can do it faster. In this car more marketing things than than true m. Don”t be lazy

[@resnonverba137]

A superb drive and a lovely sounding car.

[@paintbywolf8789]

As fast as a ZL1 1LE that had lesser tires a lot more weight and manual and a damp surface ... 4 years ago...but the BMW is probably a couple hundred thousand more with markups.... Awesome I'll take one!!!

I definitely know this CSL model will be a future classic by the year 2035 if anyone knows what's happening in that time...

[@dudwtfomg]

Just goes to prove BMW still can't touch Mercedes. It's half way through 2022 already and their "ultimate" $141k base msrp "track focused" M4 CSL is slower than a 2018 GTR around the ring.

Exactly.

You want to compare a hardcore version of the m4 look at the c63s lap time...

[@amarjit_singh_]

@@Max.44 C63 S is M4 Competition rival, CS/CSL variants are above the Competition variants. Moreover that lap you're referring to was with the W205 C63 which competed with the F82 M4.

@@amarjit_singh_ AMG gt models are 911 rivals the car you guys call slow is based on a m4 which is in a completly different market segment than a AMG GT, GT 3 rs and all Cayman models

[@amarjit_singh_]

@@Max.44Base models of both AMG GT and 911 and all M4 models are sportscars and certainly there's an urge to compare the GT R and M4 CSL, as Mercedes doesn't make a comparable C63 variant to the M4 CSL otherwise not. There also have been many comparisons conducted by auto KZbin channels between a M4/M3 and 911.
