What happened to the transaxle setup ?
There is no way this car is three quarters of a million bucks. (US$) 250k is more realistic. Its nothing more than a tarted up M4CSL with a manual box & some carbon panels fitted. So much for the hommage bespoke supercar…what an absolute cop out by BMW.

Looks like somebody got described the Hommage Concept over the phone and then went on to nail bits to the body of an M4.

Imagine what you could do to the m4 CSL with the spare change from giving this a miss. Actually, the M4X Comp even.
Can't see past the stock lights being wrapped in oversized body parts to make it work. I also think it's a dated looking design given what BMW are currently putting out. And what's the point of this car anyway? It's (for me) not a 50th photo I'd want hanging up, and let's be honest that's about as close as you'll ever get to seeing one every day in your garage. They could have and should have blown us away with a proper lightweight CSL that has its own specific parts, not the Gxx parts bin that this is. Oh, has anyone seen what Porsche can do with the GT3RS….. and that's a car you have a chance at.

Opportunity missed IMO. That original CSL Hommage is abolsutely amazing. When I saw it at the BMW Museum earlier this year I must have spent at least 30 mins just taking in the details. Absolute perfection. It was based on the F 6 series platform so naturally lower and wider which lent itself well to the desired silohuette.
Starting with the M4 CSL already makes it too high and narrow. It also seems as thought there is nothing extra over the M4 CSL in terms of driving dynamics. I've heard rumours of other "coachwork" built cars that will follow so will be interesting to see what those are. At $750k I can think of many other BMW's I'd have over this. Its a moot point though as all of them have been sold already to pre selected buyers. I personally know of 2 people so will get to see it in person at some point. |

The problem is that we are a small subset of people that actually want a manual, so it doesn't make financial sense except in a super low production, very expensive halo show car. I'm not sure if this transmission is any different than the base M4 manual, but I would think it is. I would rather see this as an M2 based car weighing under 3,000 lbs with 100 less HP. Obviously that isn't the direction BMW or most other manufacturers are going, except maybe Lotus. Still, I appreciate the effort here, but I would never buy it unless I already had 25 other BMWs and a similar amount of Porsches. |

I really like it but it just emphasizes how they should of offered the M4 CSL in manual guise. The 3.0 offers no performance advantage but justifies it's price by bespoke body parts and ultra exclusivity.
Think of it as a 50th celebration build and everything will be fine.

FWIW, I think there must have been some restraints with the original Homage prototype, otherwise, as Imran@Evolve said, why build this over that?
It has more power but basically the same engine, pretty much the same car as the M4CSL with a lighter gearbox and given all the CF around it, should this car not be at least 50 or more kg lighter than the CSL? It weighs as much as the M4CSL, so what accounts for the extra weight?

Either way, given the extremely limited production run, I suspect these will be stored as garage queens and command a couple mil at the 2040 Concours.

The CSL hommage is available in 1/18 (released a few years ago). Here is the M version.

The resemblance to an M4 is misleading. It doesn't take 10 days to build an M4; and they definitely can make more than 50 M4 in 3 months. This car uses a completely different assembly process and location.

For a 3 quarters of a million dollar car I would expect bespoke everything on this car.
They couldn't even give functional aero on the hood! It should be a 1:1 replica of the concept car, not a M4 with a tacked on body kit, and you still get single rear caliper brake! For $750k USD! 🤣 |
