BMW is putting together a very special M car that’s meant to be a 3.0 CSL successor, and now we have a full set of spy shots to see the new Batmobile BMW from every angle.

While the car is based on the BMW M4, its design is drastically different from the large-nosed coupe. For one, the M4/M3 signature grille is gone and replaced with a smaller kidney grille. It’s still where your eyes are drawn first, but those who disliked the new design direction may find the 3.0 CSL’s look more palatable. That’s not to say that this 3.0 CSL successor is subtle at all, though. The camo-covered hood and bumper are full of sharp angles, creases and aggressive bodywork. It reminds us of the 3.0 CSL Hommage R revealed back in 2015, and we’d consider that a very good thing.

BMW’s wild camouflage is doing a decent job of obscuring changes made to the side profile versus an M4, but the camo itself is entertaining. Photos of M cars and BMW racecars are all over it, alongside playful quotes like “I donut care,” “6MT FTW” and “Are you bold enough.”
