M4 CSL copied Mach 1's design homework?

[JetGray_Mach1]

I don't know if it's because BMW launched the CSL in a grey similar to FJG or what, but I don't see much similarity even in the side profile, honestly... the front wings on the CSL look closer to a GT350 than a Mach 1. The hood is considerably longer on the Mach 1 and the rear roofline is maybe the only similarity but the trunk lid appears longer on the M4 CSL.

Thank you for the side by side, love how much better the M1 looks in every angle.

The two cars look nothing like one another, other than colors. Windows are completely different, the rear "hips" if you will are totally different (The M1 is beautiful in a Beyonce sort of way, the M4 in an Ashley Graham sort of way), and while the M1 sort of has the mouth of a whale shark and odd, downturned eyes, the M4 front reminds me a of beaver whose dam had just been blown to bits by the local teenagers with some tannerite.

One car naturally looks beautiful every day, sort of like that country girl you had a crush on in high school who never wore makeup or dressed in fancy clothes, but was a good all around person. The other car is like that city girl who was off the crazy scale, that took hours to put on makeup and tried on a dozen outfits all the while you are telling her hey, were going to McDonalds, chill out. One car HAS TO have fancy colors and paints to draw your eye away from that horrendous front end, and probably comes equipped as standard (as long as you pay for the subscription) one of those Men In Black flashy memory messer-upper things so you forget about how small, nimble, and gorgeous an M3 used to be.

DAM they did it to the SUV too!! what! LOL

Yeah I saw one in the Kohl’s parking lot this evening when I went to return an Amazon item. I was going to take a picture but the guy was still in the car jamming to his Christmas music, didn’t want to disrupt him

It was a new X7M with the chrome all blacked out and black wheels. I imagine the beaver X7M was probably built like this just from seeing the outside…

Think the biggest similarity is the grey and black with orange piping, that is a straight copy. Shame they couldn't come up with there own signature scheme!

Exactly.
Seeing the side profiles together demonstrate how much better actually the M1 HP looks.
For 1/2 the price.
