Atacama Yellow is another as well.

Another try with Dakar Yellow and Atacama Yellow that is almost orange... Note that Dakar Yellow in the evening (time of this shot) is a tad darker and Atacama Yellow is a beautiful colour!

With how tuneable the S55 we can get there! Espcially if they use the methanol water system in the GTS

I forgot the E46 Phoenix Yellow.

These renderings although fun to do make me think that BMW is a bit dum and would make much more money offering individual colours for the M2. It would make the owners much happier to be able to customise their cars... The M2 is a fun car and should be available in fun colours too as optional non-individual paints...

Maybe with a wider body shape, it will look more aggressive, like the true CSL

Lol...more wide

Wider and she would be called a whale ;-)

I was refering to the old racing one, with extra large tires, would love to see one like this

Lovely.

Thanks Paul !

clubsport · 04-24-2018, 03:22 AM

Here in LA, seems every car is either 17 shades of gray, 5 shades of silver or black. I would take one in ANY of the classic colors except Polaris (only for nonconformist reasons) and be happy.

Great work

Lol, you should have told me you wanted a race car!

BMW already made a virtual concept of it though, in the form of the vision GT, which I like very much!

Yes! but this one is not "your" creation

... dream to see the transformation of M2C photoshop into the GT style

e92_m3 · 04-24-2018, 05:09 AM

Wait wait, so all this time I was thinking that the M2 competition would be somewhat limited since it has the detuned S55 motor be sold alongside the regular M2.

It's been a while since I lurked and browsed the forum and realized that the M2 Competition is REPLACING the current M2 with the N55.

Been very busy with work lately and man, I should come here often to get updates. LOL!

It's the rumored M2 CS that will be limited... Hehehehe

Paul-Bracq-BMW · 04-24-2018, 05:32 AM

Hi All.

Just to let you know, I'm working on a rear view of the car... More to come. In the meanwhile, I'll be tweaking the current view. Suggestions are welcome of course.

Cheers!

That is a brand new project in itself ;-).

What I'm interested for now is to make a realistic vision of a street CSL. But noted about the race car as it is fantastic!

I think some owners with the help of people such as @IND-Distribution could be inspired to transform their M2 Competition to their own CSL ;-)

Cheers!

Ex-MINI · 04-24-2018, 06:56 AM

That trunk integrated wing looks amazing in your render!

norMcal · 04-24-2018, 08:17 AM

Love it. Great work as always.

If they build it, then it probably would be hard to get one, due to limited run and inflated mark ups, but still would be cool.

slalomfever · 04-24-2018, 08:39 AM

Awesome render! I'll take the green one pls.

Great job on atacama.

Paul-Bracq-BMW · 04-24-2018, 10:21 AM

Ok ladies and gents...

This is my definitive version of the CSL. I always thought that my render was missing a unique CSL look. And one of the most important thing for a high performance version of the M2 is to have improved cooling. Therefore it would make sense for the CSL to get larger air intakes. So I've modified the side intakes, removing the vertical part of the fangs and thinning the upper portion of it. Now the CSL has it's own proper intakes with bigger cooling volume and unique look.

I'm happy with this design and hope you like it too.

Attached with new colours. I particularly like the brown which is a retro 1980's colour.

That said- take my money BMW already.

Great renders BTW

I had been thinking the exact thing!!

Really love that 2nd silver color, or is it grey? Hopefully they bring M2 Individual colors to the CSL or the next generation
