G82 M4 CSL rendering

jp1984 · 09-15-2021, 10:09 AM

You did a great job on the render!

With that out of the way, still yuck. To me, this looks worse than the standard non CSL M's

I wonder where BMW designs go from here, if they will retreat a little bit design wise or just jump all the way in on the beaver teeth.

I like the grille, the skirts are not for me, but if I'm being honest with myself, I would buy it IF it came in manual and hang onto it as the last manual m3/m4.

Excellent job on the render. Can you do one without the front plate? And could you do one with a lowered suspension?

You know those are going to sell like hot cakes. Everyone is going to want to put them on their G80/82.

BMW has a new Mustang.

But who knows. Maybe that is who BMW is targeting?

In what world can a teenager afford a $100k BMW without daddy paying for it???

In the exact world you just described.

This reminds me of a chuckle-worthy experience I had this summer. Driving through the main street of a neighboring town in my F83, top down, going about 25mph, I pass three kids goofing around on BMX bikes on the sidewalk. One of them sees my car and yells out "Daddy's Money! Daddy's Money!" Now, I'm approaching 60 years, with not much hair left, which he can plainly see. I felt like shouting "Dude, I AM daddy!!" But I just smiled and let them have the win. Lol

Nice render work. Skill, respect.

I don't like this GX platform and nothing will change my mind. I drove one and it's ok I guess but I have a 700whp, corner balanced F82 so the experience was pretty whatever to me.

Funny thing is I've leased every single M (e90, e92, and one f80) until my F82 and finally decided to buy. It was like I had unintentionally known it's the end of an era for me. I in now way am a bandwagoning hater of the new platform it just feels less like a drivers car and more of a spaceship. It's the BIG things. I love mechanical gauges and 'feeling' the car. That's missing from this new platform for me. It's too comfortable and too desensitizing for a track rat like myself. I am a software engineer, if I want to see digital screens I'll go to work. Call me old fashioned.

God damn! Nice AF!

TheStanman · 09-15-2021, 12:47 PM

Great render.

Looks like the Civic Type-R of performance sedans. I don't mean that as a compliment.

Based on previous CS models, that should be great to drive. Don't care about the power gains but less weight, better steering feel, and improved suspension will be awesome.

uniqueMR · 09-15-2021, 12:51 PM

We need power/performance. Enough with looks

Cortexiphan · 09-15-2021, 01:12 PM

This has the potential to be a legend and a classic, considering how amazing recent CS cars have been, and how amazing M3 is itself...

RoyalFlushness · 09-15-2021, 01:30 PM

Grills look much better.. nice job on the render

Agreed there are spoiled brats out there, but I meant that cannot be BMW's target demographic for the M3/4

Dav3 · 09-15-2021, 01:58 PM

Looks like the Bavarian equivalent of a Honda Civic Type R

Some people like it, most don't, it's just preference

mattssi · 09-15-2021, 02:38 PM

I'm putting that grille on as soon as its available!

buckybadger · 09-15-2021, 02:39 PM

Grille looks better in the CSL. This is how the grille should have been on all G80s.

Sublime00 · 09-15-2021, 02:54 PM

I guess since ICE engines are coming to an end, its irrelevant how poorly you style a car.

No matter what, it'll sell.

I'd probably feel a bit of embarrassment driving this car. Not the car itself but the combination of excessive aesthetics and F&F looks.

Am I getting old? You can be honest with me.

I mean probably. And I'm probably in the same boat. Does that mean one develops better taste as one gets older? I'd like to think so. LOL.

Same here... I wouldn't want to daily it, but wouldn't expect to daily a CSL, it would just need to be a weekend/track toy.

very good render of a very ugly car

I believe that the rumored "M specific headlights" is the yellow LED trim, such as what the M5 CS had.
