is a sport coupe in search of a racetrack, but an hour on this mountain road outside of Palm Springs is my only option. The M4 CSL goes beyond the capability of the already bonkers M4 Competition with 240 pounds of weight savings, more power, and a spate of parts that seem more at home on a race car than a street machine.
While the steering weights up at speed, it’s not enough. It’s easy to place the car from turn to turn, but the somewhat light feel and quick-twitch nature of the tuning require a series of small inputs in longer, sustained corners. I can say, however, that the standard carbon-ceramic brakes, which save another 31.5 pounds, have a sturdy, natural pedal feel, and are more than a match for this road. With 15.7-inch front rotors clamped by 6-piston calipers and 15.0-inch rear rotors with single-piston calipers, they could handle track time, too.
Sport+ gives the powertrain a high-strung character during this run, but the Comfort and Sport settings tone things down to make a comfortable return trip in Palm Springs traffic.

2023 BMW 330i First Drive Review: Scratching the Sport Sedan SurfaceWith more tech and revised styling, the new 3 Series continues BMW’s march to sport sedan redemption. I cannot lie, they did well on grill design. Also there is a cross over that is wicked cool. All nice and edgy with a sloped roof, reminds me of an aviator with more aggressive lines. Finally fixed the front grille. I want a BMW 3 series with the handling and suspension of the 2010's M3 V8 model and yes, with a 6 speed manual.
