This would sell like hotcakes!!!

Now that is good!

I think the paint scheme helps a lot especially on the front end. The front end on the press junket car looks like it is giving birth to a next generation 2-Series. I'm sorta digging the rear of the car though.

That grill.

Would you have liked this better?

The problem isn't the color. The problem is the front.

Have Jon render the fugly out.

+1!

BMW, NO DayGlo Yellow EVER please!

I say BMW repaint the dam thing and reintroduce it ASAP.

The M4 barely pulls it off. Thy should have put this new CSL in better dress for this.....Alpine white, Juarez Black

LOL.

Yeah the classic livery would have been a big plus for the 3.0 CSL hommage... but i still don't like it. Lol

N & M · 05-26-2015, 02:19 PM

Come on cynics. It is really not that bad. It needs a few fine tune touches and we arrive at the car we want.

As concept car it gets our attention but as production car I would love to see more elegant solution for the grill, front and rear aero.

Oh, and the yellow rocks! It is real vintage CS/L.

Here let me see if I can wipe the crap off it's face

I like the smaller grills much better, that actually looks good

This thing on the other hand is not a race car but something designed to look like a race car.

Really BMW? Now your into the make things that look like race cars but that actually aren't...

Time for me to go cry in a corner. Bmw was supposed to be for enthusiasts. Not rice.

Yea, my thoughts exactly.

Not a fan here. I can deal with everything but the front, I simply can't handle that

Using the old 507 grille shape would have been better. True, it's not the upright grille of the 3.0CS models, but oh brother does the proposed grille look like crap. If it's a kidney shape, those kidneys are past end stage renal disease.

To answer the question, yes I would have preferred the traditional "livery". That being said, however, the change upgrades the look of the car from intolerable to horrendous.

raysspl · 05-26-2015, 03:16 PM

Absolutely in classic livery

ORIGIN M. · 05-26-2015, 03:18 PM

Just let Jon Sibal design the car.

Done !

Zeroblade · 05-26-2015, 04:07 PM

Classic livery does make it look better from that angle. Needs more. That Super Sized Me kidney front is ugh. Only so much you can do with it.

I do not know if you are old enough to remember?
But this Dayglow Yellow is actually called Golf Yellow and not only was it available on the E9 CS/CSi/CSL but countless other classic BMWs such as the E21,E12 5er and the classic 2002. So it is not something pulled out of a hat but a classic interpretation for reinvention of a classic car.

Under the CSLs bonnet lies the next interpretation of Power eDrive.
So far we have shown you "Das Thing" the name given to the Power eDrive 5er Gran Turismo which generates via six cylinder and electric motor to produce 670 PS.
But in official press release we advise of three specific power outputs of this new performance drivetrain being developed at BMW.
The power under the CSL generates 560 PS. But this one is particularly special it is further tweaked by the M Division to suit the character of a BMW M car.

And what I am hearing it seems that there is a motion to use the CSL badge for more progressive and innovative M models and to make CSL models the test bed for exclusive performance and progressive innovation and that includes eDrive assisted drivetrains.
In a way it has come full circle on how Motorsport innovation was showcased with the original CSL.

The next variant of Power eDrive has not been shown but it is the "entry" if you want to call it that with about 460 PS which will launch in the next generation 5er and then be included in models from the 5er upwards.

The first BMW M eDrive car is not as far away as you may think.

Jerez Black, named after a circuit in Spain. Not sure if Juarez has the same cachet...

The color I'm referring to will shank you for looking at its cornbread!
