For anyone thinking about buying this car in the future when the owner tries to flip it maybe think twice.
Car has less than 100 miles and he's beating on it and redlining out the parking lot lmao so much for breaking it in. Car also doesn't have the proper csl buckets. He said the American cars don't have the helmets that's dumb. |

Id say the G8x is epic, whether in RWD or Xdrive. Its a hell of a machine but i gotta say the CSL does feel luke warm and just not enough to warrant the badge.It just doesnt feel like a car that shoukd be representing 50yrs of M.
Simply strapping xdrive to it isnt the answer either but i reckon tbeyve possibly mis-used the CSL monika. Hhhmm |

The fact is that 'M' now stands for marketing. The idea that a car/truck such as the 'XM' even exists pretty much says it all.

Ollie Kew, knowledgable? Maybe? Don't think I typically agree with his reviews though. Except Caterhams, he's right that they are awesome but that's about it!

Oh & I quite like the CSL (given what they had to work with they did a reasonable job imo), but it's nice to hear from someone not spruking marketing bullshit. Bring on the fanboy excuse makers.

As a car enthusiast the most important element attribute of what I'd call a "good" car is - how does it handle? followed by things like feel, engagement, noise, pace and finally how it looks and makes me feel. I reckon the CSL will do well on most of those fronts - I'm not obsessing about the fact that it weighs 1625kg and therefore isn't particulalrly "leichtbau"- Ferrari's F12 probably weighs about that and it's spectacular to drive, so whatever.

I gathered he was the author of the article, my point (which seems to have gone over your head) was I don't know/care about who wrote it or what their history is, the fact is it's an honest & insightful write up imo (very rare & refreshing from anyone in the USA) & it's extremely applicable to what BMW M are currently producing.
As I stated I quite like the CSL, yes it would have been much better without a torque converter auto & if it was nearer 1500kg, but given what they had to work with I think they did a great job. We're lucky to still be getting cars such as these. I'd like to see a similar philosophy applied to the new M2.

And who is "WE"? You personally ventilate the thought of all the G8x buyers?
When I would have a purpose for a G8x in my life, I would probably buy one in spite of its looks. Just because I believe it drives stellar and finally that's what matters most. But I would still wish it didn't look the way it does. |
