At 543 horsepower, the M4 CSL was severely underpowered, however Manhart is right here to repair that. Joking apart, the sports activities coupe has been boosted to supercar efficiency ranges with out resorting to a posh engine swap. It retains the tried-and-tested S58, a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six shared with a number of M and ALPINA fashions. Manhart changed the usual turbochargers with a customized set from TTH and paired them with its personal upgraded intercooler.
The tuner additionally fitted new cast pistons and connecting rods, a stainless-steel exhaust system, and a carbon consumption. The ECU has been remapped, and the automated transmission has been overhauled to deal with the added grunt. BMW’s eight-speed M Steptronic can now handle 1,300 Nm (959 lb-ft), comfortably dealing with the engine’s monstrous 1,190 Nm (878 lb-ft).
For context, even the defunct quad-turbo B57S six-cylinder diesel solely provided “simply” 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) within the M50d fashions. And let’s not neglect, the M4 CSL is rear-wheel drive, so sending all that energy to the again wheels is a recipe for tail-happy thrills, supplied you realize what you’re doing behind the wheel.
This black monster is considered one of just one,000 M4 CSLs made by BMW and stands out with Manhart’s aggressive physique equipment. The matte black multi-spoke wheels made by Raffa measure 20 inches on the entrance with 285/30 tires and 21 inches on the rear with 305/25 rubber. No Manhart construct can be full with out the signature champagne-colored accents. There’s additionally carbon fiber nearly in all places you look, together with fats 110-mm quad exhaust ideas.
The lengthy record of modifications consists of height-adjustable coilover springs for sharper dealing with and extra visible drama. Since this construct relies on the CSL, Manhart had loads of room within the rear cabin to put in a roll cage. New ground mats and champagne trim spherical out the inside adjustments. Though not explicitly talked about, the left air vent has been changed by an auxiliary display displaying key efficiency knowledge.
It’s price noting that regardless of the large energy bump, Manhart didn’t improve the brakes. Then once more, the CSL’s customary carbon-ceramic setup needs to be greater than as much as the duty on this wild G82-based creation.
