by BMW M4 CSL is losing value
The market for collectible BMWs is gradually changing. The M4 CSL, which was previously considered a hot novelty for collectors, has begun to depreciate. This could be an opportunity for buyers looking for a unique car.
Production of the BMW M4 CSL was limited to 1,000 units, with only 300 making it to the U.S. Despite its exclusivity, recent sales show that prices are falling. One such car was recently sold for less than its original price.
Earlier at auction, a Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic M4 CSL with just 203 miles on the odometer was sold for $135,000. This is $10,395 less than the original price of $145,395.
The car features matte paint with red accents on the hoods, grille, and roof. The wheels are 19 and 20 inches, forged with a matte black finish.
Technical features
BMW made several changes to reduce the weight of the M4 CSL, adding more carbon fiber and simplifying the interior. Inside, there are carbon seats with red inserts and illuminated CSL logos. The rear seats have been removed, and most carbon fiber parts are still protected with film.
This model did not receive the updated BMW Curved Display but has the same LED headlights as the updated G82, as well as an enlarged spoiler.
Engine and transmission
BMW engineers increased the power of the M4 CSL engine to 543 hp and 649 Nm of torque. Like the standard version, it uses an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. Some enthusiasts believe a manual transmission would have made this model even more attractive.
The drop in prices for the M4 CSL may be a temporary phenomenon, as the limited series and unique characteristics keep it valuable for brand enthusiasts. However, the market shows that even such cars do not always retain their value in the long term.
