But is the brand-new M4 is faster around the Nordschleife than the 2 generations older E46 M3 CSL?

The answer is… ‘NEIN!’ But he is a lot faster than the E92 M3 with the V8. The German Sports Car introduced the latest M-Coupe for his most recent sheet on the test, and recorded a lap time of 7:52 minutes. A fraction slower than the E46 M3 CSL (7:50) and the E92 M3 GTS (7:49), but baking quicker than the E92 M3 (8:05). It turns out that the engineers of BMW pretty well were with their prediction.

At the conclusion of the time, it was a M4 with the Driver Package, and thus a Vmax of 280 km/h, is used. Also was the car equipped with the optional ceramic brakes, the M-DCT gearbox and Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The M4 Coupe has a 3.0 liter six-in-line with 431 hp and 550 Nm, and weighs in at the lightest setting 1.495 kg. The prices start at 105 mille. (via BTG)
