What’s the deal with that massive front grille though? Some love it while others think it’s over the top. I find it a bit contentious…

Well said, @alexis76! I feel like the M4 CSL is not just about speed, it’s an entire experience with its design and features. Can’t wait to see how it performs in real-world scenarios!
You’re spot on! I think the performance boost from that is very noticeable. It feels incredibly agile on the roads!
Haha! It’s definitely a bold choice. I think the design makes it stand out in traffic but could see why some might be put off by it.
I’ve had my 2023 M4 CSL for about six months now! The acceleration and handling are phenomenal, but I’ve noticed some maintenance costs creeping up. Regular service is pricey, but worth it for the performance. Ignoring reliability for now—it’s been rock solid for me.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about its daily driving comfort though. With that level of performance, how does it hold up in regular traffic? Anyone tried it as a daily drive?

I can’t help but reflect on how BMW blends luxury with performance. The M4 CSL truly embodies that philosophy, making it a thrill both on the road and in the driver’s seat.

I’ve read mixed reviews on community support. Some forums are full of enthusiasts willing to help, but others can be a bit gate-keepy. I find it helpful to connect with local M owners for tips on customizing and maintenance.

Totally agree, shawna88! The way this car responds in corners is just insane. Feels like an extension of you rather than just a vehicle!
That’s so true, whitedenise! I’ve found the local meet-ups really beneficial too. Owners share personal experiences, which can be gold for maintenance advice.
I’d say maintainence won’t be cheap, but it’s typical for M vehicles. The performance makes up for it in my experience! Have you guys done any mods? I’m thinking about upgrading the exhaust.
Good point! I’ve seen mixed results too, but generally, as long as you’re careful and go with reputable brands, you should be fine. I’m pushing 600hp with no issues, knock on wood!
I’m still on the fence about mods. What’s the general consensus on reliability after mods? I heard a few horror stories about tuning gone wrong.
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my M4 CSL! However, those initial costs stung a bit. Anyone had success negotiating with dealers on maintenance plans?
I didn’t negotiate much, but I got a decent deal on my service package. Definitely look into it, because they can offer competitive rates!
As much as I love this car, I do wonder if it’s worth the hype. The enjoyment is high, but is it the best M4 ever? What do you all think?
Definitely the best! It’s just a beast. The sound, the feel—matched only by a few other cars out there. But hey, I guess you can’t put a price on happiness right?
True! But I can definitely put a price on my mechanic’s bills. Why does joy have to be so expensive? LOL.
