VIDEOS: Hot BMW M3 CSL around the corner?

Posted by Hootan Mahallati | October 20, 2009 | In bmw news videos

Even though BMW has denied it, the video below seems to confirm that the Bavarians are readying an ultimate, lightweight version of the venerable M3. Perhaps its the imminent release of the ultra-powerful Audi RS5, or just clamoring by hardcore enthusiasts. Regardless, the fixed wing and apparent weight savings hinted to by things like the carbon-fiber front splitter make this a plausible expectation. In addition, the car caught testing at - you guessed it - the Nurburgring, appears to have a wider track to accommodate fatter, racing slicks.

Rumors already have the car outputting 470 hp thanks to a better breathing system. If true, that would mean a massive 56 hp increase over the base car.

The last CSL, pictured above, was a special beast (see the bonus TopGear video review below to see why). Needless to say, we are already salivating at the prospect of a new one. BMW, please build it!
