BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage unveiled (w/ classic livery rendering)

classyfast · 05-22-2015, 10:21 PM

Any way you look at it, this thing is pretty terrible....

Crimson92 · 05-22-2015, 10:36 PM

Wtf were they thinking

DCG · 05-22-2015, 10:46 PM

My first thoughts were O' snap, yea that's cool.

But why freaken hideous neon yellow? And the god awful blingy plastic chromed kidney grills. The kidney grills, trim, and wheels should be in black.

BMW Designers if you are going to go through the effort please use a proper classic BMW color; Silver, Black, Alpine White, or even retro non-metallic Orange!

I like the overall exterior design, besides the oddly shaped huge kidney grills, and cheep looking chrome bits. The all important paint color should have been a hommage not hideous, espicaly on a one off car.

Silver paint with Black trim would have been the proper color. Whoever chose the color should be fired!

Otherwise it is cool.

The rear is nice, original yet sexy, the front just looks like trying too hard, its stupid.

It will NEVER hit production.

'There's no market for it' because it's God awful ugly.

You give CSL a bad name !!!

(especially for the grill... big NAY NAY!!!)

caycep · 05-22-2015, 11:15 PM

Kinda looks like a Mustang. Which is similar to what I can say for the 4 and 6 :/

M3 Number 86 · 05-22-2015, 11:17 PM

re-evaluation: from far away it looks good in overall shape from certain angles.

but the details are what matter right? completely off in that aspect.

now to go prep my car for bimmerfest track day.

O' thank you lord!

Make the trim and rims black and now we are talking!

Waaaay better.

Petr0lhead · 05-22-2015, 11:19 PM

I actually like it! It's one of my favorite BMW concept cars.
I like the front end, the lines and the overall character, the car represents. BMW made a very futuristic hommage. And a concept car is supposed to be a bit extraordinary!
I think it's rather sad that there won't be a production version...
Some people are just never satisfied with anything...
I really can't see how a BMW Fan would not like this.

BIGMIG · 05-22-2015, 11:24 PM

The face has grown on me over the course of the day. The rest of the angles are devine however. Especially the cabin. Helmet storage?!?! Fuck yea!

DCG · 05-22-2015, 11:38 PM

The longer I stare at he hideous neon yellow paint color, the more nauseous I get.

xiliy · 05-22-2015, 11:45 PM

Disaster!

isugoo · 05-22-2015, 11:54 PM

I like the rear but I'm not liking the front at all...
The original CSL looks still very beautiful and timeless, the new one.. hmmm. no, it'll not be the future classic.

B///MWGuy · 05-23-2015, 12:01 AM

I hope this have some relation to upcoming G 3/4 series. I don't like many aspect except the "Mustang-like" or BMW's past punched-in front.

caycep · 05-23-2015, 12:04 AM

CSL hommage needs to be this:

Or Volvo needs to get off of its ass.

Levente_CSL · 05-23-2015, 12:25 AM

all you haters lol. im sure every one of you would suck each others cock if you could have the chance to have this concept in your garage. morons lol

bmwjpn · 05-23-2015, 12:35 AM

matowi · 05-23-2015, 01:23 AM

I like its purpose: make a polarising statement and be something you simply can't ignore.

The delivery is perfect in the sense of achieving the above. It draws attention like hell and its a brave move. This CSL has a role to play and plays it well

Now, is it pretty? Nope. But then not all BMW of the past were (think f07). Do I like it nonetheless? A lot

Pentium · 05-23-2015, 01:26 AM

Ouch!
I'm finding hard times to accept this design!
After staring at the photos....maybe I can accept the front end with its big kidney grills, but sure not the rear!
Looks like a Japanese fiction anime car!

M3_WC · 05-23-2015, 01:32 AM

Everyone on the design team should be let go.

Awful!
