Then it would have to cost more then a gt3rs. You're looking at $120,000+ 3 series. Just isn't going to happen.

Well whatever, just something new.....
BMW doesn't do flat plane cranks so that will never happen.

Hopefully we see a csl 250-350lbs lighter with 25-30more HP. Those numbers may sound modest but 10% weight reduction + 10% power gain = 20% better power to weight ratio; which is a huge gain in performance.
