You need to get out more Shim...

I got excited, then i read further and saw almost 1500kg and over £100k?

I don't know if some of you just love Beemers, but you could get a GTR and another car on top of that...

At least the CSL was cheaper than a GT3 RS, now they expect you to pay more? I'm not sure how that got past the drawing board. Why not just release the GT4 as a road car... it doesn't cost a great deal.

power to weight is fooking good imho and 1480 kg is only a can of beans heavier than CSL

i think 450bhp doesnt sound like they have pushed the limits but with a 4.4litre you probably have a load more torque

price is silly

but the Nissan will still be a Nissan in 3 years breaking down at every trackday and chaved up

I'd rather have one of these than the nissan even if it is slower, any car with front driveshafts is gay :P

The CSL was already heading in the wrong direction though, it is hardly a deft tool on track. Now it's another £50k for a trolley handle and nice wheels.

I suppose there is always a car for somebody, and maybe the GTS is an answer for some. I could do a lot with £100k though. A decent Caterham for track, as Rangie to tow it and a second hand CSL for the weekends all safely under budget!

I have a choice, if I want to get a fast road car I have to give up any idea of racing, not a hope of that happening, there is only so fast you can drive on the road before you get locked up and trackdays seem gay once you've been smoked by an Orange Arrows F1 car through the old hairpin on a test day. I'll have to stick to my £276 a month lease 3 series touring for the moment

Nathan

you'd get smoked in any road or race car by an F1 Arrows car, even your fine machine

But it is an awesome sight and not one you'd ever get on a trackday, get yer license and come testing, I'm sure I can sort a deal to share a day in my car at Donny, get some good data and retire for a pie and a pint :D

I like the idea and the fact that BMW seem to be addressing the definate wrong direction of the M division with X6/X5-M's, etc.

But, 100k is too much and weight is still too much.

Would still like one though.
