As with the M3 CSL before it, production will be extremely limited. It’s been a while since BMW had a Coupe Sport Leichtbau in its lineup considering the last CSL came out ten years before the 3 Series Coupe transitioned to the 4er family. The 2004 M3 CSL Coupe was followed late 2015 by the M4 GTS that took a similar approach by dropping weight and gaining muscle. In 2018, the Bavarians announced a plan to retire the GTS suffix and make way for the return of the Coupe Sport Lightweight . Fast forward to 2021, it looks like CSL is finally making its long-awaited return. According to a BMW insider familiar with the company’s agenda, an M4 CSL will be released as early as next year. A veteran of the Bimmer Post forums, the author claims assembly of the hardcore coupe will reportedly start in July 2022 for what will be a “very short production run.” It is unclear how many units will be built, but chances are fewer than 1,000 examples are going to be sold.

Under Liberty Media, F1 is currently headed by Chase Carey as chief executive, with the American on a rolling contract that he is happy to continue with but one that may end after the 2020 season. Speculation has built over who may replace Carey, with Mercedes boss Wolff - one of the key components of F1's dominating team since he took a leadership role in 2013 - among those linked with a position helping run F1.

"I think that anybody who's really been an active and important player in a certain team within the last years, to take on the responsibility at F1 would automatically create conflicts of interest, perceived or otherwise," said Ferrari CEO Louis Camilleri when asked for his opinion about an ex-team boss like Wolff potentially running F1.
