One of the nicest greenhouses, ever...
I completely agree that a showcar should polarise...otherwise, we'd see stagnation. What actually makes it into production is a separate matter 
My problem with this kind of car is that it is supposed to be a 'Homage" to the glorious CSL.
The original CSL was created after BMW CS (a beautiful but heavy car for a racer) got soundly beaten by the Capris in the ETC, so BMW poached Neerspasch from Ford, started up the Motorport division, built the lightweight CSL...and got revenge.
So, aside from some styling cues, how is this a homage to that endeavour? (I am only being slighty serious here )
The upcoming BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage - exterior & interior pictures!!
The first picture below shows the original BMW 3.0 CSL on the right. Look at the amazing transformation of the Hommage on the left. It sure oozes sportiness and futuristic design! What do you guys think of the new BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage? I think it's going t...
The interior is too futuristic for my taste. What's the engine?
The body is exciting! Best, Nicolas
Very Nice....
I am a fan of the BMWs from the 1980s and then the 8 series and the Z8 in the 1990s, its nice to see BMW trying to get back to what made it special, hope the production version (if there is one) retains many of the design highlights of this "Hommage". Tha...
Interesting, but not entirely beautiful...
It's an interesting look, but it's not entirely beautiful. There's something Dracula-ish about the front (the deep kidney grill looks like rodent teeth), but the yellow color is another weird choice. Will they produce this car for the public? And I'd just...
I went through this press release few times
and I just don't like it but to each his own Cheers D
I concur...
I don't like it neither. There's something of the rodentia order this car's front seems to be inspired from. In yellow it makes me think of a yellow hamster.
I like it! Maybe a bit more elegance from the original would have been welcomed
but generally a show car should polarise, i just hope they change their mind and build it even as a limited run! It would give company to my E9! ...

I agree with you as driving this car already shows the challenge of making a proper sports
Out of it: long overhang, searüting position too high, handling quite slow. Even mine with coilover and 16 inches does not feel too alive. And to get back to your reaction, you are no stranger to the business so you know that often show car is just ... Sh...
The final car...
...I worked on in the final days was...a show car. And a show business one, at that :-)
