2027 BMW Neue Klasse 3.0 CSL - what it SHOULD look like!

Elderado82 re-designed the 2027 BMW Neue Klasse 3.0 CSL that brought the "BMW" back into the BMW...and I added some accents on it.

Really nice! Altho some may say it has a S550 Mustang vibe to it. Of course the S550 borrowed the Hofmeister kink so thats part of it.

Just a little context for this. There's another thread about using AI to fix your BMW, and I put a post in there about how I don't like the look of the 2027 Neue Klasse models.

The 1973 CSL, while not technically a Neue Klasse design, belongs to the New Six era. It does, however, share a massive amount of its design DNA and architecture with the original Neue Klasse coupes. I feel this was peak Neue Klasse design while also bridging right into the next era for BMW with the New Six.

Therefore, I felt that if BMW were smart, they would have played with those design cues and modernized them for the future. But no, instead they went the lazy, safe route when designing the new 3 Series.

Here is my original blend, first one is more modern take, the second is more of a retro take. I used Adobe Photoshop and Nano Banana to make these.

Are you trolling? Maybe the rear wheel arches are similar, but that is it. Are you confusing the general design of sports coupes and grand tourers? Other than the wheel arches and the fact that both are sports coupes, they have almost nothing in common. By your logic, the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Jaguar E-Type, Chevrolet Corvette, Toyota Supra, Aston Martin Vantage, and Ferrari Roma all look exactly like the AMG GT 55.

Why are you so mad about it?

It looks like an AMG GT 55, that's why I said what I said.

Doesn't look anything like a ford mustang but we already knew that was hyperbole from you. What a loser.

Oh I get it now, you're the guy who made this render (well, rather, asked AI to make this render?) so you're very triggered by anything that could be construed as criticism I guess? Not sure being likened to the very cool AMG GT 55 coupe should be seen as a bad thing, but I do understand why you're so sensitive.

Someone with your inability to handle feelings before opening their mouth (or mashing the keyboard) isn't who I wish to bother with. I already have 2 young kids to raise who exhibit that behavior (which is age appropriate for them).

I'm not mad, triggered, or upset in any way, shape, or form. I purely asked if you were trolling and if you understood the design behind Sport Coupes and GTs. I personally don't see what you see when it comes to the similarities beyond the rear wheel arches. I purely asked for your thought process.

Oh, and yes, I used Adobe Photoshop, as I stated, and AI to help clean it up. I'm not a Photoshop pro and was just playing around with it, so I used AI for some help. But hey, I guess I'm a loser according to you. I've never met you in my life; you know nothing about me, what I do, or the type of person I am. If you felt attacked, then I apologize. Have a great day.

BMW has the original design. They made it available for the public by a Google search for: “2027 BMW Neue Klasse 3.0 CSL”
