I think some context is important here when comparing the new car to the original one. While I can completely understand wanting the 2023 version of the 3.0 CSL to look more like the 2015 concept car, I can also see why a car that is essentially a modified M4 makes sense. In looking at the original namesake it’s very apparent that there is a strong link with the base E9 platform. As such, I can see why BMW may have seen the modded M4 as being more inline with the heritage of the 3.0 rather than by using a one-off coach design. Perhaps enthusiasts at the time would’ve thought the 3.0 CSL was just some paint, a horsepower bump, and some tacked on bodywork too?
In fact, the brand wasn’t particularly loved at the time. Here’s a quote from an article discussing the perception of BMW and its cars at the time: “It was well that BMW was not looking for mass-market appeal, because the Neue Klasse‘s virtues were not immediately obvious to less-enthusiastic drivers. True, an 1800ti performed as well as some workaday American V8 sedans, but $3,500-odd (U.S. POE) was still a lot of money for a stubby-looking compact car with an austere interior, a rather stiff ride, and little of what most non-German buyers would consider luxury.” The full article is a very good read and gives some perspective and insight on the 3.0 CSL: https://ateupwithmotor.com/model-his...-e9-cs-coupes/

Alternatively, if this does meet your expectations for a OEM dream build then the consumer division of BMW has moved on from soliciting my attention or dollars.

I don’t know about most here, but, I think that’s too beautiful a car for BMW to mess it up with such a shitty paint job!
But…what do I know?!?!?! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

As they say, "wealth has its privileges".
I wouldn't be buying this. I can think of at least 3 baller cars that I could buy with that much money.

You guys need to realize some thing for the people who want to be negative. This is that persons probably 10th car if you can afford to purchase this car this is not your only car in your garage. Keep that in mind people who bought this wanted something very special. Why can’t you just appreciate for what it is instead of trying to justify how it’s not.

Whether it’s their only or 500th car, they bought on hype and exclusivity for the sake of exclusivity.

The back half of the car looks good. The boxed fenders and spoiler are a good looking design.
The front is fine. Not that much different. It would look better without the giant euro license plate mount. The hood/fender design is beyond terrible. And way too many stripes. I would be embarrassed driving it. |

Looks like a Mk4 Supra and current-gen Honda Accord had an ugly baby out of wedlock. Another strike-out on aesthetics, IMO.
