My god, have you people not heard of the laws of diminishing returns? wink yes it's double the price, but of course it's not twice the car. it can't be (it is based on an M4, not a Polo...) After many years of such 'Skunkworks' editions, surely we would have got this by now.rolleyessmile

something is worth whatever the market will stand. period. so if all 700 get sold, then it will be worth it's price. it really is as simple as that

and to say this car will not get used, i reckon it is selling the owners somewhat short. i rememember being at the 'Ring some 10yrs ago(pre-financial crisis); the dutch boys were out in force - a healthy number had caged CSL! these cars were certainly being used as intended.

anyhow, i really, really like this car. and there was something about it's 'Ring lap what left me super impressed.

Seems like BMW continue to get it wrong, just hope it drives better than it looks.
But first you need to get passed the price tag

BMWs always drive well. And people do pass the price tag.

The E9 CSL was more expensive than the 911RS and went to become a great touring car champion.

Ditto the E30 M3 vis a vis the 911 of that time. It drove very well.

And now the M4GTS, cheaper than the 991RS, is about as quick at the 'Ring.

A bit of thread resurrection here.

Now the Aston GT8 specs have been announced does anyone look at the GTS as a bit of a bargain with the GT8 coming in at 200k (for the press cars we're seeing the photos of) the 124k GTS seems like reasonable money.

I remember pretty much all of the criticisms here being levied at the E46 M3 CSL when it was released.

I'd rather have a more classic BBS inspired alloy though.
