2023 BMW M4 CSL - POV Driving Impressions (Street)

The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones, headphones are highly recommended!

Here's the equipment I use (with affiliate links):

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

Thanks for watching!

I think one of the hardest things you have to wrap your head around, is that a car like this really isn’t meant to just be driven around on the roads every day. Sure you could daily drive it, but it’s almost at a point where it’s too expensive and just not built right to drive around normally. I’m not saying garagequeen them, but most people will get into more trouble with a modded four series than they will ever need.

AT 4:09 BRO RLLY THOUGHT WE WOULDNT NOTICE HIS FART

[ARentz]

I'll be honest, I never realized how laggy those paddle shifts are until I see it in the context of a "CSL" model that costs $140k.

I think I'm just getting too old. That looks positively painful driving it lol

Hey Chris I watch all your videos and love them! I have a simple request, when you do the initial start up could you please either buckle the seatbelt or give us an exterior shot with audio? The “buckle up” chime always comes on. It interrupts the first impression of the motor. Love you dude thanks for these videos!

Bruv...what are the odds...i just oppened yt to search for some m4 competition videos cuz i want to buy one haha XD

Slipping straight into character with the double-parking.

For $140k one would think they’d go pretty balls to the wall with it because the M5 and M8 cost the same. It’s $40k above the base price for the M4. It’s a lot more than a CTS-V Blackwing which has a ridiculous amount of power with a much bigger engine. How does this stack up against the other vehicles in the segment? Who is this car built for? What is its purpose?

Nice review!
FYI those buckets can be tilted with the right tools (I carry them in the trunk). I am currently in the lowest position on mine with some tilt. Perfect! Just did a 200 miles drive last week. Perfectly comfortable on he interstate…
I do agree it should be best on the track but I need to finish break in first.

[Isaac-muntz]

I like the looks of the previous model m4 more

[nestor]

If you have $140k and choose this…. oh boy.

[Chandroth]

Those downshifts sound sleepy like a Nissan Z automatic. Upshifts are brutal, though.

[The_Omaar]

Nice review. thanks. I did not like the downshift pressure, my X5m with akrapovic and stage 2 tune has waaaay more agressive downshift

[JcM]

Did man try to go in for a shift at 11:18?😂

[augustortiz]

I would love to see a Giulia GTAm on this channel.

[ashish_rajoba]

Off topic but can’t resist to ask - what’s that nice watch you are rocking?

[BallTickler]

Man I just wish the exterior would look as good as the interior...

[seb]

The seat cups your body like a baseball glove.

[pan]

license plate being B48 is hilarious considering that is the engine code for the 4 cylinder in the 4 series

[bwSteen]

ct4v blackwing and c7 z06 for the price of this car, the perfect daily and the perfect track monster/ weekend car although they both identify vice versa 😅
