CSL colour - why only SG or SB ?

Yanto · 02-08-2011, 09:49 PM

I think I read somewhere that SG was a BMW motorsport colour, but was there a particular reason why these colours and why only these ?

The other colours are heavier.

I'm not sure pink carries with it the same kudos in racing?

Remember the Steel Grey (or very similiar) Prototype CSLs back in 2002? Guess they've all been squashed now

The CSL was too fast for other colours they all ran off and BMW gave up

Or was it they wanted the CSL to look as hard as nails
