Definitely. A bunch of sexually frustrated, balding, middle-aged men whining about things they have no control over.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to post the comment about the crazy people that post comments that nobody cares about.

Interior looks very outdated, because frankly it is. The exterior is nice.

nearwater4me · 10-11-2024, 03:32 PM

F'in gorgeous is all I can say.

Rux · 10-11-2024, 03:39 PM

BMW: Hey look at this cool thing you can't have.

Dicks...

[QUOTE=AustinPowers007;31541114]What will the price be?

The rumor going around Villa de’Este was $542,000, which seems low for a 50-unit run. The M4 3.0 CSL was roughly €750,000 and that had a 50-unit run as well. The Skytop could top that price.

Love it!! Can only drool 🤤. Sad that can’t even contemplate getting one .

tahoma19 · 10-11-2024, 11:07 PM

What a special car! Wish this design language was more pervasive in their current lineup.

solstice · 10-12-2024, 06:05 PM

Ican see what they’re trying to do, as in using the M1 & i8 design language for this thing. BMW trying to be Italian, it has never been my preferred BMW track. I totally agree with Hooydonk that the 3.0 CSL represents BMW’s design peak, the new version they released is decent, the CSLhommage is straight out perfection. A Sky top version of that would have been something.

Inspiration for the sky top?

The venerable CSL hommage

Except for the balding & sexual frustrated stuff, I feel very related. Nevertheless, in a forum like this, it's mostly about sharing and motivating opinions or info. When you think it's pointless, I guess that you are in control of your own faith?

TractionControlDelete · 10-12-2024, 10:49 PM

My main issue with this car is that I won’t be one of the 50 people who have one.

AbdullahMDM · 10-12-2024, 11:12 PM

I don’t see where all this hate is coming from. If there’s anything to hate it has to be the production number

I don't hate, but I don't like either. It's an M8 competition, which is not too bad to look at and drive with and equipped with another exterior (not better, not worse, just different). So when you're sensitive to the idea that you drive 1 out of 50, it's ok, when you don't care about exclusivity, it's just very bad value.

Blue Sky · 10-14-2024, 11:43 PM

Why is BMW spending so much time and effort on good looking cars that they plan to only sell a ridiculous handful of, and then saddling the world’s buyers with crap like beaver grills and squinty headlights? Shouldn’t more time and effort be applied to the company’s actual products?

shonguiz · 10-15-2024, 03:13 PM

Gorgeous car, but they should not make it, this is design language is now outdated and odd. Should have made this 4 years ago.

It appears to have physical buttons on the centre console which is unique nowadays (and very sensible).

Only problem with the CSL hommage is they didnt build it. That picture you have posted is the concept that everyone loved & wanted to see.
Unfortunately they built a tarted up M4 instead. Nothing like the concept. Still charged concept money for it though.🙄
