Exploring the Ultimate BMW Fleet at Studie AG, Including their $1mil 3.0 CSL 

Yeah no.

correct, looked to have 1335 or 1355 km

Yes caught on to t hat too!

It’s expensive because of the tolerances, tooling, and low volume. That $10k body kit will require a lot of trimming and adjusting to look good. A $35k bumper will fit the first time you put it on. Yes it is expensive though 😅

Carbon has many different grades. And the really expensive ones are priced to no limit.

​@@carlosvargasbatmansorry bro if ur paying 4k-10k for a bumper which required trimming ur either buying a fake or ur platform is just shit or ur buying shit products like seibon. Never had any issues or heard of anyone who purchased body parts for a R35 from Japan that had fitment issues. For example a full dry carbon hood from TS costs around 5k which fits completely flush. 35k for a bumper FROM JAPAN is just a scam man. Not only that he literally state the bumper is a touring car, not a track car. Lmao...

@@twistedbdo5755if you understand anything about economics, you’d understand that making 1000’s of the same part makes it significantly less expensive and also allows for refining over time. There are 50 of these cars in the world and the carbon is all handmade.

@@cgcrosby2 Alot of carbon parts are hand made for one when buying from a reputable shop from Japan. There's legit videos on this... Which Is also why it takes 6 months to 2 years ETA to receive (im talking about drop shipped. They are typically made after order). I have purchase a custom carbon splitter used by a shop famous for r35 time attack. The part isn't even being publicly listed. I'll tell you it costed well under what you think it costs. Not only that it's TRACK tested, not some touring peice... There's probably less than 5 of them made. You clearly have 0 experience dealing with aftermarket parts from Japan. In terms of my top secret example for the hood, I'd also be very surprised if there was even close to 1k full top secret r35 aero kits sold.

agreed.. this thing is still so large and BULBOUS looking

(Re-)engineering a car is expensive. Simple stuff we ignore like indicator lights can cost multiple six figures to homologate, OEM-quality body panel molds, even for plastic, is multiple 5 figures. Add that to the design, engineering, and testing cost, it costs millions to do a simple job like this, that is before the car is produced. The 3.0 CSL is produced hand-made off the production line, which means it takes a lot more man hours. Even let's say it costs a mere $15 mil to develop the 3.0 CSL (a number I made up, mind you the mk7 Golf was estimated to cost almost $2 bil to develop from scratch), split into 50 cars, that's an R&D cost of $300k per car. Our regular cars are kept to a low price simple because OEMs make hundreds of thousands of them, so the R&D cost per car is only a few percent of the MSRP. Production lines are also ultra-efficient at churning out cars, even as fast a new car every 2 minutes. Compare that to hand-made cars which would be tough to finish one per day. The labor cost per car is just not comparable. That is just a part of the explanation, we still don't know how much profit margin BMW takes, but I doubt that BMW simply takes a 40% margin on the CSL.

@@thatcopenguy I still don’t believe 1m is justified for a m4 with custom lights and body kit. seems like the price is determined by the marketing history of the CSL and 50 limited.

This car should’ve just been the new m8

Yup, even if I was a billionaire. That thing is just the dumbest way to spend 1.2M.

^He's right, it's just an m8 wide-bodied, that doesn't equate to a 700k markup for some badges and fiberglass

Read some other reports on the car. It's the fastest inline 6 bmw has produced.

Power isnt everything. This car is almost entirely bespoke body etc. Its a collectors car. I just think its a shame it looks nothing like the concept version of it. It would have looked sick with actual vents on the hood and the arches actually beeing somewhat detached. Also those more aggressive headlights looked amazing. Now it just looks like they had to plug those holes for the production version, and the body lines make no sense anymore and kind of look like a cheap knock off body kit. But in the end, all that doesnt matter to us as wed never be able to buy one even if we wanted to. For the collectors it will have its value and rarity and thats all that kind of matters for it.

@@j4259 The M5 CS is still faster so what's your point of arguing about this fact?
