3.0 CSL

[mik]

Not an M-car.

[Ascender]

I mean, that's one way to distract you from the front of the car.

[Jobbo]

That's nice, but is it effectively a €750k M2?

[Rich B]

Why is it "up 50bhp" - up from what?

[Jobbo]

From the 3.0CS which they forgot to launch?

[Ascender]

The standard M3 is 510bhp isn't it? So, shoddy maths aside, I'm guessing what that guy means? Weird though.

I quite like it, but not sure about the rear roof/window spoiler thing.

[IanF]

510hp, or 503 bhp. So he’s correct, don’t like it though

[Rich B]

Not correct at all!

"Bat’s back. BMW 3.0CSL - note no ‘M’ - 553bhp (up 50bhp)"

The "Bat"mobile had around 200bhp did it not?

So presumably he's saying that this one has 553bhp, 50bhp more than a G80 M3.

[Beany]

Reportedly three quarter a million euros?

That can't be right.

[Mito Man]

I’d rather just have a M3, mapped and spend the rest of it on other nice things rather than a pretty average looking car with a CFRP body which will still be overweight.

It really is a slack handful of exposed rivets away from being a rocket bunny kit

[Mito Man]

I don’t think it’ll look epic like a Bugatti without paint either as BMW CFRP is most likely the stuff used in the i3/i8/ix which looks crap unpainted.

Those look like they're at least 21" with that profile going on. Hardly lightweight!

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[Beany]

Rocket Bunny don't charge half a million fucking quid.

when you're paying the price of 10 M3s for it, then yeah, it's not really good enough.

[Rich B]

They've basically designed a Mustang anyway. The Gt350 makes 525bhp and costs about $60k.

[Mito Man]

Doesn’t look like an angry rodent either.

[Ascender]

You crazy kids with your iPads and your jeans halfway down your backside... WTF is a Rocket Bunny?

I'm going to have to google it aren't I?

Well if they can get 10 folk to pay £700k for a 3 series with a bodykit then fair play to them. I like it.
