New 2015 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage


BMW has unveiled this gorgeous new 3.0 CSL Hommage at the 2015 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the genteel motor show on the shores of lake Como that BMW part-sponsors each year.



It's a jaw-dropping reinterpretation of the original 1970s sports coupe, one of the seminal BMW models tucked into Munich's back catalogue. And after an initial teaser shot, today we can publish the full photographs of the concept car, painted a vibrant shade of Golf Yellow.


And this CSL is true to its heritage, vows BMW: those fabled initials stand for Coupe Sport Leichtbau (coupe, sport, lightweight, remember) and the original coupe shaved 200kg off the 3.0 CS by using aluminium and plexiglass windows; the 2015-spec CSL uses with carbonfibre and other composites to shave the kilos away.


BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage: the specs
The new CSL is an extravagantly designed two-door sports coupe, with a foot in both ancient and modern camps. The aero addenda adorning the bodywork reference the 1970s air deflectors running along the bonnet, while the roof spoiler and boot wing are all nods to the seminal silhouette of the 3.0



Inside cabin of the CSL
The minimalist theme continues inside the 3.0 CSL: much of the usual clutter of modern dashboards is jettisoned in favour of simple instrumentation, visible carbonfibre elements and a pair of lightweight, quilted sports seats with six-point harnesses.

BMW M5 Black Beast Sound!!!



The E60 M5 was introduced in 2005, with an uneven firing V10 engine and 7 speed sequential manual gear box linking the car with the BMW Sauber Formula One program. The E60 M5 was the world's first production sedan to feature a V10 petrol engine. 
A 7 speed sequential manual gear box (SMG III) was available, and a six-speed manual transmission gear box was available for the USA only. 
As with some of its predecessors, the E60 variant of the M5 was both the quickest and fastest 4-door sedan in the world at the time of its release.



Other unique M5 features include a wider track, unique body panels, 7-speed SMG III sequential manual gearbox, also known as a single-clutch automated manual transmission, a color heads up display [HUD] featuring navigation, control messages, speed, rpm and gear selection information, automated seat side bolsters, heated/ventilated seats and power rear curtain. 
The larger, flared front guards on either side also featured cooling vents, reminiscent of the 1970s BMW CSL. The wheels were of a standard 19" diameter with quad exhaust pipes to the rear.
