REPORT: BMW cancels development of E92 M3 CSL



There were around 1,400 examples of the BMW e46 M3 CSL built, and by all accounts they were exceptionally well received. However, according to Ludwig Willisch, the boss of the automaker's M division, the current e92 M3 won't get the same treatment. He – or perhaps the accountants – feel that "based on current numbers, there is most likely insufficient demand for the M3 CSL."

If a current scorching version of the e92 were to exist, it would have been bumped by anywhere from 36 to 56 horsepower, shed 200 pounds or more, worn some different tires and a set of bigger lungs. In light of the possible volume, though, which would be small, BMW – or again, its accountants – would rather focus on the X6 and X5 for now. Thanks for the tip, Mike!

E92 M3 PoliceDutch speeders take note: the police have a new weapon in which to chase you down and write you tickets. And with its 420-horsepower V8, it's more than capable as a pursuit vehicle. The car, of course, is the new 2008 BMW M3, and if the burnout shot at right is any indication, the officers who get to drive the car are probably going to have a little more fun with it than the average patrol car. That's what we call a favorable work environment. And here we think it's cool when our local police departments get Chargers.

UPDATE: From a commenter - "It was a stunt from the local BMW dealer for the national police day, they removed the stickers the next day...same thing happened last year when the KLPD got a Spyker for a day."

Back to Opels (or whatever) for you, coppers!

Thanks for the tip, Lou.

VIDEO: E92 M3, GT2, R8 and CLK DTM Black make the rounds 'round the 'Ring



So what's better than spy photos of the latest and greatest high-performance German iron aluminum and carbon fiber? Video, natch. Thankfully, the camera-wielding purveyor of Autoholic shot some video of the BMW E92 M3, Porsche GT2, CLK DTM Black edition and the Audi R8 doing what they do best: consuming copious quantities of the Green Hell's spray-painted tarmac. Enjoy and try to figure out what the very last vehicle in the video is. We're not entirely sure.
