S58 · Inline-six
S58 straight-six engine-family reference. Output and installation remain specific to each car.
S58 · Petrol
The M4 CSL combines a 550 PS S58 straight-six with extensive use of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic and a two-seat cabin. It is a distinct limited-production version of the G82, with a different specification from the M4 Competition.
Two exhaust-driven turbochargers
Exhaust energy turns a turbine connected to an intake-air compressor. Charge-air cooling reduces the heat added as the air is compressed. The displayed turbo count describes the selected engine.
Rear-wheel drive
An eight-speed M Steptronic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. The CSL’s model-specific chassis, lightweight components and aerodynamics are designed around intensive performance driving.
