Thanks for posting that Dack.

Not impressed I would actually expect more from from the M4

Whyte_Diamonds · 07-03-2018, 02:22 AM

No disrespect but that car looks tacky as fck. I understand its a prototype, but BMW has to do better than that. I give the nod to the original GTS on this one.

BMW really needs to get into the rear midengine category already

The car that's 40 years old this year!

Yeah... BMW needs a Halo car. M1 Homage would be nice. But they just want to build SUV's now.

Anyone can see Batmobile?

For everyone who shredded the car when another member posted it a year or two ago feel free reserve comment.

We put this car together in 2016 using carbon fiber bodywork from a small manufacturer in Germany. BMW had already evaluated it but had chosen to not purchase it.

It would appear the design is being reconsidered?

Looks to me like OEM stole the design. Hope you got it patented if BMW goes ahead with it.
Cash cow...

Are you serious? Have you not seen a gt3 rs or race cars with the same style vents?

Was being sarcastic...
In any case, you have to admit the side openings and wider stance in front look pretty good. Would also solve front tire lateral traction with wider tires...

The wing on the back just looks so awful, is it just me but M have failed to make a desirably good looking hardcore M car since the e46 CSL, this new CSL (if that's what it is) looks dire to my eyes.

The all new M8 doesn't count as a halo car ?

I don't think most people in their 20s or 30s are typical customers for a halo car .. so.. that sounds about right.

It needs bulging rear wheel arches.
