CSL means - coupe sport lightweight -
Just like any previous CSL OR GTS I would anticipate an M2 CSL or GTS /CS to have either
- a hand picked motor
- meth injection and better tune
- perhaps a slight increase in displacement
E30 M3 Sport Evo was bored from 2.3 to 2.5
E36 m3 CSL was hand picked motors
e46 M3 CSL - hand picked motor + airbox + Alpha N
e90 M3 GTS - bored from 4.0- 4-4l
m4 GTS. - meth injection plus tune
Drop in an entirely all new motor? Not gonna happen. Move along ... That's not the CSL you are looking for ...  |
Disagree with your logic.
S55 motor in a theoretical M2 CSL would not have to epa test as long as it's the same s55 as the M3. Once a motor passes it doesn't matter what model it's in.
S65 in M3 and S65 in M3 GTS are not the same motor, for example. |
Go ahead and disagree , but you just explained
Exactly why the E90 M3 GTS was never federalized for US sale.
It might also help to realize that the only CSL that made it to the US in the past (e36 m3 ) had " hand picked " motors and not a unique motor...and the 2016 M4 GTS is also the same motor as the regular M4 but with meth injection and a tune.
