[@kunalmore5212]

Please make the M1 again!! As a super / hyper car!

[@bits2646]

From the first prototype I hoped there would be 167 made, but only 50 is really restricted, especially considering many of us cant get old CSL and would love to get new one, excluding other M CSL models apart from 3.0

[@jaylowlp6181]

Will it be in Essen?

[@chrisbevan]

With only 50 being made, she's going to be a rare beast! Locked away in collections, very rarely seen on the road. All LHD too I would presume, so little to no chance of seeing one registered and on the road here in AU.

[@xBoZniiAnLegEnd]

Thats the unfortunate truth. Bmw spend so much effort in r&d and whatnot but the car will spend most of its life in storage.

[@JD86Vintage]

FYI. The SEVS import laws allow you to bring in and license low production cars without converting them to RHD. This easily qualifies.

[@marcoac14]

Exactly what I thought. Throughout the video I was thinking how all those track-oriented design features are just meaningless because the 50 units are going straight to private collections and museums. To me it’s just an engineering effort non-sense that only serves the purpose to satisfy bmw engineers egos

[@vladvictor8829]

I m so happy to see in my country (Romania) a man who drive when he want and park on he street his BMW E9 3.0CSL !

[@markgilbertson1564]

Very sad. Spend ages developing a brilliant driving machine and then see "collectors" stick it in a garage, never turning a wheel.

[@nightoftune]

So unbelivably weird that this front design alone looks so much better than the normal M4/3. This is what the people meant. You CAN put a huge vertical grill in it but please give it some design cues that work. This works.

[@dukedub]

The regular M3s look great. It’s a car you buy to stand out and draw attention. Plenty of generic cars out there for risk adverse car buyers

Them: “Now, the fact that we’ve only built so few of them also makes it quite impossible to see cars like this on public roads nowadays.” Also them: “… and due to the fact that sales are limited to 50 pieces only. It’s going to be an extremely rare collectible car.”

[@J5L5M6]

Feel ya'. I and practically every one that meets her love my nearly mint '87 e30 325i cabrio. Not a rare car by any stretch when in production. Only rare now because she has been taken care of lovingly by the three of us who have owned the car. Manufactured scarcity is sad and somehow, a bit less valuable in my opinion.

Haha, respect their past? By releasing a car-collection dust collector for billionaires that will never be driven. One that is an impractical 2-seater compared to the everyday useable 4-seater original. One that despite all the advances of materials and technology it weighs probably 2x the original... And above all they "respect" the past and us all so much that as typical they will play fake engine sounds from the speakers!! So PATHETIC! The only 'original' thing about this is the new heights of bulls**t that the BMW corporate marketing department will rise to.

[@ivanameruoso]

@@loxan22 the XM is literally one of the most hideous things I've ever seen, and they introduced it as the second "M" car 50 years after the legendary M1. It looks like they're trying their best to destroy bmw legacy. And don't let me think about the IX, i'm not even against electric cars but wft is that? It's just bad design, no point discussing about it

[@o0Fizzle0o]

I hate how this is being presented as something just to collect, rather than something you want because of the incredible driving experience it offers.

[@diogoleitao8628]

Dear bmw, this is so good. It looks that you have changed the designer ou at least the way he/she or they design the car, and I really must say that this is the right path. No disproportional lines, everything is cohesive and the whole package fits well. I must say that this car represents the heart and the essence of what bmw used to give to its costumers. Great job and please keep going with this type of cohesive lines to your cars.

[@themotorsportarchives]

Respectfully, this is an M4 CSL with a bodykit, isn't it? For me it has too much mass above the rear wheel, and the way they stuck the plastic fender on top of the m4 rear quarter just looks funny to me. I would much rather prefer the M4 CSL over this, but with a manual hehe.

So sad 😢

[@hardrus7386]

BMW stated that they do not have plans to stop producing cars with combustion engines

[@pistonburner6448]

Wrong. You don't need the EV-scam just to sell good ICE cars. As evidenced by every single year since the invention of the automobile. If you think this car is a love letter to anything good, then look again. This is an over-sized, overweight, yet totally impractical, overpriced, no real connection to motorsport, made to NOT be sold to the masses or ordinary people, made for billionaires' collections and really just for a big corporate marketing campaign, and for God's sake it even plays fake engine sounds from the speakers (I am confident in predicting that for this model as well, since pathetic modern BMW does that with all their other cars).
