Any comments on the 3.0 CSL now unveiled by BMW although in camouflage?

Oof, that is nice.

What was the price of the original CSL c/w a CS or CSi? My point is, I think many could afford to buy a CSL back then, not likely now.

I have to say, too muscular for me. There is nothing subtle as with the original.

I agree. Even the original CSL (to me) detracts from the beautiful original CS, CSi shape.


I don't believe this current "hot wheels" trend of tacked on bumps, curves, vents, spoilers, wings etc, is a lasting look.

I'm encouraged, however, by the organic shapes coming out of some of the EV makers....maybe out of necessity?

That's pretty bad. So much crap tacked on the body. And I think the price is Ferrari level as well...

So you are saying they should have circumcised the tip? If not, BMW better teach young buyers how to clean underneath the folds.

Out of curiosity, I looked it up. 7499 GBP in 1973, or about 84000 GBP in today's money. So in the low 100s in USD.

Would not have guessed that high............

And to access the engine compartment/open the bonnet...?

See what they've done there tastefully paying homage to to original BAT wide body kit.

I understand it is a limited production run of 50 cars only in celebration of the 50th anniversary of ///M (although at a hefty price).

Basically a body kit on an already very overwrought car. It certainly doesn't add 250k in value over the base. But the market will tell. Some of the previous F82 gen M4 special editions didn't sell well since they took away many things people actually want -- like door handles, so these sat around dealer showrooms forever. Nonetheless, I'm hopeful the grille makes it onto the production 4. It's considerably better than the much-maligned gape of the current car.
