[Video] BMW M4 CSL Shown in Black Sapphire

The press photos and actual cars that BMW sent to several auto shows this year featured the M4 CSL in Frozen Brooklyn Grey metallic. The Competition Sport Lightweight is also available in Black Sapphire if your heart (and budget) is set on the extreme two-seater coupe.

The black paint softens the aggressive appearance of the massive kidney grille, and the red highlights pop against the black. This precise configuration of the M4 CSL makes the limited-production coupe look extremely intimidating from every angle. With only 1,000 made worldwide, the limited edition has already found its way to a Belgian reseller.

The M4 CSL does not get the updated infotainment system standard in the 2023 M3 Sedan and Touring. That’s good and bad since some people like the new side-by-side screen setup while others prefer traditional knobs and dials to adjust the temperature. The iDrive is less of a priority when spending €172,800 on such a vehicle in Belgium. Price-wise, that’s rough twice as much as the entry-level M4 Coupe.

BMW enthusiasts who prefer a more practical vehicle can get the M3 Touring, which has back seats. In 2023, a more robust and lighter M3 CS will join the range, followed by a similar M4 CS as a more inexpensive alternative. These CSLs will hopefully be driven and cherished by their owners, rather than sitting in a climate-controlled garage for years. This scary M4 is one of the last pure ICE breeds, with all new M cars beginning in 2023 having some electrification.
