In my opinion, judging from the CSL concept, BMW was testing the waters and it plans to return to the shark nose look in their 3 series (maybe other models too). Their "BMW Lusso Gran Coupe" concept from a few years ago will probably serve as a base for future designs. There is quite a bit of resemblance in the front between the Lusso and the CSL concepts.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
