I hear you…

An umbrella policy is very effective

And it’s very inexpensive by comparison

Ho my god it's got the peak interior config when the screens were still integrated in the dash and proper buttons for climate control !! I miss those days so much.

Excellent news! The concept car I saw back at Goodwood earlier this year was stunning

I just hope that some of the 50 lucky new owners will actually use them and not keep them locked away in a garage.

Group buy anyone?

[TargaM2]

Yuk, garish.
Im sure it will appeal to the cashed up retiree types.
Be surprised if anyone under the age of 60 buys one.

This is pretty cool…wish they went bespoke on the interior with fully analog gauges versus the parts bin ID7 though.

The way to go is mass market EVs and do small builds of ICE cars for collectors, according to BMW at super high prices (lets say 200k-600k range). If they can do a high volume ICE like 911 it would be 200k, and if they do the route of CSL or this Skytop - 500k+. Still a lot cheaper vs Singer or restomod cars, and they can really go back to their catalog and release their greatest hits, like E39 M5, E34 M5, E30M3, E9 CSL, E46 M3, perhaps Z8. Charge absurd amounts (above collector examples) and Im sure enough people will pay to bag these extinct species. Low volume will make them exempt from many laws too, something thats currently unfairly abused by restomod manufacturers.

And automotive self driving porridge like neue klasse 3 series AV could be what they sell en mass to likes of Uber and Lyft to get the cash flow going.

Reskinned 8 series with $500,000 price tag. Not attractive, at least for me. So many intersting cars at that price.

[GOLFFRR]

that thing looks wild

[TheBingoBalls]

How close will the production model be to the concept? We all were excited to see the CSL 3.0 in concept form but when BMW released the production version, it took too much from the M4 and made it look like someone modded an M4 vs. having that bespoke look/build.

[David70]

Not my kind of car and I don't see anything revolutionary or cutting edge about the design. Think 10 years from now most will guess it is far older.

For the amount of time they spend coming up with a new design like this (assuming similar to a production car), I would prefer they spend this time on something with a higher volume. Amount of time this car will ever be seen or used again is tiny.

Meh!

50 suckers and good for them.

Going away gift from Doma, the tasteless hack.

Good riddance!

They still can't figure out the grille... even with a special production.

[WedgeSalad]

Its unfortunate its such a limited production, but I'd rather bmw be making it then not

Looks cool to me, just hope I get to see one in person

Why not go full electric⚡️and have a more futuristic cockpit / minimalistic interior to go along with?
They‘ve presented it already on Neue Klasse interior.

Quiet luxury…

[evanaswan]

Make a real sports car to compete with new Aston 911 amg gt my m8 is awesome but can be more

I think it’s pathetic It’s not being produced in higher volume numbers for BMW enthusiast alike

I’m not sure why BMW would go through such an extensive design exercise and not bring it to market in volume numbers

I guess I can save a lot of money and just buy myself a Honda del Sol instead and stuff a B58 in it

Correct… ✅

[paul223]

Excellent Interior!

Outdated? Hell no. I vastly prefer this to the "whoops we forgot something on the dash....eh slap a billboard on it and let the software engineers worry about it" ID8 look.

This looks 10x better.

Funny, read this post, stepped out of our hotel in Milan, and we walked past the thing about ten minutes later. Beautiful. More of this please.

[ledphut]

Crazy how many people took time out of their day to post a negative comment that no one cares about.
