With that being said, what would be the business case to do so? Please forgive my ignorance - but it seems to me that BMW would only do something like this if there was a racing series that the car could be featured in - is that indeed the case?
I truly think that BMW would sell every single car they made, whether it was a CS or CSL or whatever. And they could charge $85-90K for it and not have a problem. But in order to invest the time, resources, and R&D necessary, I would think that there has to be a larger end goal (with a larger payout) in mind... |
Same reason Porsche are dropping a GT3RS engine with el manuel into a normal 911 body and calling it a 911R. Because it's awesome and they'll sell every last one of them.
No other reason than it's amazing
