I bet it will be about £130k or more and going on the older CSL it’s best to have no options at all, candles for headlights, Kling film for glass, and paper for boot floorWe’ve only had a few teasers so far but the full reveal is due on the 22nd. Rumours of anything up to 550bhp and apparently it’ll be limited to 1000 units. So will be get a mass-produced CS as well?

BMW always make their steering wheels too fat in my opinion. I like the front end but the E46-homage-integrated boot spoiler looks wank.
Also I’ve never really understood the market for these BMWs in the first place. If you want a road car, you don’t want a stripped out 2-seater. If you want a track weapon, there are better options for less money.

If I had the money, and the privilege to get on the list, I'd have an m5 CS over this.
I don't mind it as much as most seem to, but like the M5 CS, the changed mechanicals are nowhere near justifying the 40-50k uplift over the Comp, so you're paying for exclusivity. However, I don't think it's clear that you benefit from strong residuals however, looking at what the F82 M4 GTS is going for now. You can pick one up for 80-90k v a 12kk list price, and they only brought 30 or so to the UK.
So this one is going to have to drive even better than the M5 CS to justify it's price.
The biggest issue for me is the loss of back seats- surely that's why you go for a saloon based coupe over a proper sports car - the extra practicality? If you lose that then it's just a bigger heavier car for little benefit.
