I hope one of these ends up in the hands of a modding company that will scan it and sell a conversion kit. Even if the kit costs $50k you'd have a 3.0 CSL for 130k which is what I would pay for one of these from BMW.

It's sad that no one will drive these cars. Oh, sure, they'll be driven a bit, but in 10 years when they start showing up at auction, they'll have 500 miles (800 kilometers). No doubt a true investment piece.

I highly doubt this car will be 750k, the bespoke hommage concept if they had produced it may have been that sort of money.
This tarted up M4 CSL that they have produced instead I would expect to be in the (US$) 250k region. Sure makes the M4 CSL look like a bargain now.

After checking some details, I can believe that the car costs somewhere in that range. For example, painting requires a special process, which requires 134 paint cycles and 6,700 manual work sequences per vehicle as everything is painted, there is no warp. All the CFRP parts are manufactured by hand in Dingolfing plant and each vehicle goes through eight assembly cycles in a complex process that takes up to 10 days. So in the end the amount of work drives the prices, not how special or not the car may look to some |

As I said they did NOT produce the hommage concept car, instead this is just a tarted up M4 parts bin special with some bespoke carbon panels & a flash paint job. No matter how much time & work the marketing team wish to say it took, there is absolutely no way this is a 750k car. If you can't tell the difference you need to take a look at what they have actually produced as opposed to what they proposed. We are talking 2 completely different cars here & it's surprising that so many are so ignorant that you can't see the difference (actually given the caliber of some of the fanboys on this site it's not really that surprising)

Just because it's based on an existing car, you don't seem to know what drives prices of cars…and did I say it's 750k, no, but in a range that is way higher than your M4 with a bodykit thinking. Are special edition Bugattis worth the sometimes 2-3 money than a normal one? They are basically the same car, but limited and have a different color, some paint stripes and that's it. And yet people buy them. More than 50% or even more of the price of this car i solely because it's limited to 50 pieces an therefore rare…or you think the M4 CSL is worth double the price of a normal M4 just because of the few modifications? Manufacturers price their cars based on the efforts they have to build them and R&D they put into it. Or you think BMW is doing the additional work for free? Based on your logic, you could order this car now, but funny enough, all are sold, so for those 50 people the car is worth the extra money, be it 300k, 500k or the rumored 750k |

Let's take a look at the facts of what this car actually is (forget the marketing bullshit that you fanboys buy into so readily). It's an M4 CSL with a manual tranny, some carbon fibre paneling, bespoke front & rear bumpers, centre lock hubs, & a hand done paint job . That's basically it ! Just because some moron is stupid enough to pay whatever asking price doesn't make it any more special. As I said & continue to stand by, this is NOT a 750k car, I bet it sells for more like 250k, which is basically what it's worth (& that's simply due to the labor costs). My point that seems to have gone over your head is this tarted up M4 is nothing like the bespoke hommage supercar BMW were marketing ! What happened to that car ? That would have been worthy of the 50 years celebration. This car is far from that.

I believe it makes no sense trying to judge this car based on it's specs and looks. The price is totally not motivated by anything you can see or feel. And of course a much cheaper Porsche Turbo S or a Ferrari 296GTB are superior driving machines in so many ways.
This is an extremely limited run for investors and millionaires that want to connect the present and the past. That there will be 0,25 of these cars for every country on this planet builds the entire investors case. Not the way it drives or how it looks nor the hours of detailing or assembly that went into it. |

It's been reported by many different sources to be €750k and BMW has also confirmed that all 50 allocations are already sold and spoken for.

This is NOT that car. Its still just a tarted up M4 no matter what someone pays & that's the disappointing part. Forget about the money, I wanted to see the homage 'supercar' BMW were supposedly building, not this half hearted thing.

All this because the car didn't meet YOUR expectations of what it should have been or what it should cost. Just admit the car isn't for you, you can't afford it, and move on.

Let me agree here, disappointment. Not only in the U.S.
In a nutshell, most BMW people here in Western Europe say: "There was a lack of courage. A unique BMW à la M1 would have been applauded, no matter what it's availability was."

No I can't afford it (is that meant to be an insult? If so can you?). Nobody cares. We are here to talk about the car ! I'm disappointed that BMW didn't build what they marketed as are many others. Why fanboys like you feel the need to defend a car company so steadfastly that doesn't give a shit what you or I think is beyond me. I thought this was a car forum not bloody Facebook.

Concepts are just that, concepts. It doesn't mean that the final product will be the exact same thing. We'll never know the specifics as to why certain parts or designs from the concept didn't make it to this final version but I don't recall BMW ever outlining which of those would and then failed to deliver. Again, it's just some people like yourself built up it up in your minds to be something specific and you likely were never going to be happy with it, regardless what they released. I like it for what it is and for what they are trying to do in tying the old and the new together. If I had the means to buy one I would as it will be a piece of BMW history, but I'll never have the means or the opportunity, and I'm ok with that.
