Hmm, The rumor I keep hearing/reading about is that the M6 CSL was going to get the tweaked engine. Maybe a change of plan since the competitors have come on so strong?
Makes more sense (to me at least). The M6 has such a limited market, creating CSL's would be crazy - would there even be such a market for such a car? People looking for more performance over comfort in that bracket are probably shopping Porsche's at that price range...

I heard that about the exhaust too. But I heard most of the power increase was coming from brand new software tuning only. But my guess would be a new cam profile to. But maybe it is direct injection doing it. I cant wait to find out what the new M3 will end up with for HP. if its 450hp the M5/6 wil def have to bump hp. Now that I think of it I remeber reading that article about a CSL M6 having 550hp V10 so it must already have been in the works. I really think BMW has no choice with the New E63 and RS4 both out and pushing more hp and alot more torque. BMW has always been #1 as far as performace so I dought they will let audi and MB kill them. The RS4 is supposed to have TT 5.2 V10. that things gotta have at least 520hp imo. I hope BMW does somthing about this.
