it's going to cost £100k+ so entirely different market i say.
of course we would all jump in to buy at 65k. it's like would i buy an e90 GTS at 65k.. ? hell yes. at 100k, it would still be an ok buy with a clubsport package, ceramics, chassis enhancements,upgraded adjustable coilovers and better drivetrain excitement and package. IE something to make a 991 GT3 owner take note. Coupled with low numbers, could get inetresting. BUT, not holding my breath. CSL still a bargain. and just quick enough imv to keep 996/997 GT3 honest on track. |

I personally like it (excluding the orange bits).
If it has 500PS and 1400kg, would definitely be interested. And I hope they make a lot of them so as it's not a very limited edition, ultra expensive collector's item. |

I like the look of the concept cal in the bright yellow/green colour. It it did go into production it sounds like it is far too wide. Had a ride round a track in the new M4. Did not make me want one.
Something the size of the 2 series without sat nav, electric seats and lightened is my choice. Until then sticking with cesil. Nearly 10 years & still |

I am not saying i wont keep the CSL but the reality is things evolved and unfortunately bmw is not making a track oriented hardcore edition car.
I personally want a track oriented bmw as i cannot catch the 991 gt3s and 458s in the straights. So please bmw make it proper and make many of them ! Edit: I believe all of us we would agree that the M3 GTS would be a proper machine if it was 150kg lighter and more fast at the track. But the E92 M3 in stock format is a tank and BMW did not try that hard. And I guess I belong to a minority that wants to own a BMW and not a Porsche, Ferrari etc. Last edited by alexk; 16-08-2015 at 02:14 PM. |

Sadly it looks like it will be well under 500PS and with only a few weight saving measures over the standard 1595kg weight of the normal car, I can't see it being near 1500kg, let alone 1400kg .

Missed opportunity - 1420, to match the 991 RS would have been awesome.
