More news from the recent BMW press event held in Munich. This time Autocar brings word of a new M3 CSL that will sit between the regular M3 and the more extreme M3 GTS.
It has not been confirmed that the model will be called a CSL, rather outgoing BMW M boss, Dr Kay Segler, said the car will be “special design model focusing on lightweight construction” with “”several other surprises.”
Full details will be revealed when the car is launched at the Nürburgring 24 hour race in June.

UPDATE: BimmerFile confirms this new “CSL” will be four-door only initially, with a coupé likely to follow in 2012.
