Official:There will be no M3 CSL but there will be M-versions of the X-models

Our good friends at BMWblog got the latest scoop on whats going on in the BMW M division. The CEO of BMW M GmbH, Ludwig Willisch, spilled his guts to Auto-Motor-und-Sport in a recent interview about the future of BMW’s high-performance M division. The news was good, bad, and downright dumbfounding. For the good, Willish mentioned that future M-models will include high-revving turbocharged engines, and offer ceramic brakes. The bad news is that there will be no E91 M3 Touring, E92 M3 CSL, or M1 Concept. Apparently, BMW doesn’t feel there is enough of a market to support those vehicles. The perplexing news is that BMW is currently working on M-versions of the X5 and X6. I’m really disappointed their will be no M3 CSL, BMW needs a super car to compete with the likes of Porsche and the new Nissan GT-R. How do you feel?
