CSL Option for 1M and the Orange paint?

Redadair · 01-22-2011, 08:30 PM

I am still having an issue choosing the color of my 1m. I was all in for White until all of the VO photos from the Detroit show and now I am 50/50 on both colors.

From what I have read from a few different sources it sounds like BMW will be offering some sort of CSL striping as a dealer installed option for the 1M. In the past IMO it looks the very best on White, and pretty good on Black but I am not feeling the CSL colors at all on Orange???

What does everyone think about this issue? Possible rendering of an VO with some CSL striping?

No. That would be hideous.

///M tricolor on VO would look silly. If you did it with all shades of gray it would be better, but nevertheless I don't think any graphics belong on the VO, on the AW you can get away with it.

There's a HUGE difference between a "CSL Option" and a "CSL STICKERS Option".

I think that goes without saying. This post is about the Dealer Installed option for CSL Stickers - Stripes that has been mentioned a few times from BMW reps.

While a CSL is the designation for a special Lightweight version of a BMW model.
