The 3.0 CSL Hommage R Celebrates 40 Years of BMW in North America

— August 15, 2015 — Autos

Unlike its predecessor, the 3.0 CSL Hommage R features an interior design that effortlessly and effectively integrates the driver into the cabin. Drivers of this vehicle can receive key information such as gear position, speed and revs from the inside of their helmet visor rather than having to rely on conventional dials or even more modern LCD readouts.
