M4 GTS headed to U.S., M2 CSL to follow suit?
With the M4 GTS now showing up in U.S. dealer ordering systems here, will BMW follow-suit and give us the M2 CSL as well?

I would love to see it here, but something tells me the price is going to be prohibitive. I can see the M4 GTS, as those buyers tend to have more money then those looking at the M2. An M2 CLS would most likely have to be priced somewhere around $80K+ I am guessing and that Cayman GT4 territory.

I'm still quite surprised about the M4 GTS. I didn't see that coming. That's a good thing though. Now if only they would bring the M135i here...

Same here stripper here I come. LOL, Yeah I was surprised to. I did not think that BMW would bring it here. Although it is nice to see them bringing something like that after us never getting a car like that before.

US availability of the M4 GTS is a very good sign for a potential M2 CSL import. I imagine the decision to bring the GTS here included careful consideration of US pricing for it. Could it be that it was only determined a feasible plan because they intend to offer it at more practical prices than in the past? One can only hope this is the case for the GTS... and the M2 CSL, as well!

I'm also surprised by the M4 GTS offering in the U.S. and you're also right that an M2 CSL at a higher price-point is not really what I'm looking for. M2 (stripper) it is for now and I'll just have to dream about the M2 CSL (and maybe pick up a gently used one in later years). This is also probably what they are saving Donington Grey for, a la the silver gray of the e46 M3 CSL (see below).

This thread is way too early.
I doubt most forum members will believe that an M2 gts would be created and certainly any US members would have huge doubts. An M2 GTS Will sell here but American bimmer fans have been conditioned to the fact that we don't get the top models. I'm pretty sure most of us are in shock still that an M4 GTS will be coming. As far as an M2 GTS, I would love it. I would definitely be interested, particularly if it is. Limited production Has water injection Wilder styling CF roof Even less weight than m2 Since we don't even have an M2 curb weight,,,, not gonna get too excited yet b |

Besides the dynamism of the motor- surely it's lighter (without all the plumbing), lower (V) and closer to the firewall (4cyl depth vs. 6)? |

Sorry to bring this to you; but, the head of M division said there will never be a V8 in an M car again. Cafe standards, environmental concerns and that sort of (excuse the expression) malarkey.

How much do we want to bet that the next M5 will be at least a V8 again?

Oh how I hope the M2 CSL would be offered stateside!! I would much prefer that over the M4 GTS. 1M character with some CSL Hommage styling and Z4 GT3 performance isn't too much to ask for is it?
Would Scott26 mind giving me an incentive to save my pennies? |
