In case you haven't figured out, that's what the CSL stands for.

The car posses the next-level power and intelligent lightweight design, model-specific chassis upgrade on the two-seater configuration. The M4 CSL share similar performance specs with the BMW M4 GT3, the M4 CSL clocked the fastest Nurburgring's Nordschleife circuit lap times for a series produced BMW car.
