The BMW M4 CSL was revealed recently, but there are rumours of a special limited-edition Hommage model to follow shortly after. Here’s what we know, plus some teaser images.

The recent reveal of the BMW M4 CSL shows the German brand is serious about performance motoring and exclusivity. With a 405 kW engine and some trick weight-saving and just a handful of units confirmed for South Africa, this is going to be one very special collector’s piece.

But, there’s something else coming.As a reminder, 2022 is an important year for BMW’s M division as it marks 50 years. Is the creation of the BMW M4 CSL enough to mark this milestone? According to WhichCar Australia, no and something very special is afoot.

Remember those striking BMW Hommage concepts that graced the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy? There are rumours one will be put into production, but this will be a very limited model.

As far as power goes, 447 kW and 0-100 kph in just 3.5 seconds are being claimed. According to WhichCar, the gearbox torque limit is 750 Nm, so don’t expect more than that. Being a proper M car, power will go to the rear wheels. A price of €600 000 (just over R10 million) is being rumoured and just 50 units will be built.Fingers crossed it looks as daring and extreme as the two CSL Hommage concepts from a few years back.

Update: The boss of BMW M has teased the new model on his Instagram page, giving us a good look of what’s to come. The interesting wrap gives us some clues of what the new CSL will offer, with nuggets like “6MT FTW” which suggests this will be a 6-speed manual gearbox vehicle. You can’t miss the special grille or the big wing at the rear.
