Poll: What type of engine for CSL models?
If you would have the decision, what would you prefer as engine for the coming CSL Cars from the M GmbH?
The CSLs would be the high cost future Benchmark car for BMW ... which way is better? Make your decision. |

Turbo engine with higher HP but with a proper exhaust system.

That's really a tough choice. Low hp would not be good for the best car in its range. If they can make it work I would say NA with a crazy high revving engine to give it a high hp.

Or as example in the BMW Branch ... ~480hp S65 vs. ~520hp S55 ... so in any case more hp than the base model. Last edited by BMW M3 CRT; 11-18-2017 at 06:41 AM.. |

Well if they can get 550 hp and NA, that would be the way to go. I'm sure the torque numbers may be down a bit.

How about a NA V8 with a supercharger?

Probably too cost prohibitive to develop NA engines for limited production

A development of the S65 with 500hp and 9k rev limit would be wonderful.
I really hate the current fad for contrived farty/popping/brapping exhausts, it's like they have dumbed down the premium performance sector to Civic Type R sounds. Induction roar is what you want in a premium performance car.
