Today, in Garching at the M facility, BMW revived the M3 CSL. While not officially dubbed CSL, the M3 Sedan Concept revealed today brings back the idea of lightweight in an M3 and the details are exciting.

The BMW M3 Sedan will come in limited numbers in 2011 and the idea is similar to the M3 GTS. BMW has yet to reveal any technical specs, but Dr. Kay Segler, current M boss, says lightweight plays an important role in this concept and power will be also adjusted accordingly.

We should expect to see between 420 and 450 horsepower.

The car will be fully revealed in June at BMW M Festival in Nurburgring.

    Thanks for the live pics! I really like this car and would like to get one. Do you know if it’s coming to the US (with silver wheels possibly)? ;-)

Wow, it is a surprise. I hope this changes BMW’s planning to keep the sedan for the next iteration. Just because the M3 sedan doesn’t sell as well, BMW shouldn’t cede market share to Audi S4 or Mercedes C63 sedans.

That is one BADASS looking M3. I think I might tint my windows, get a black grill and put black rims on my M3 sedan.
