Talk:BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage (upgrades)/@comment-30726130-20170129091352

So here's how I (and everyone) should upgrade this car in order to complete the R&D with ease (when it gets revived):

You should have the following in order to be at a safe place at all time (otherwise you WILL be forced to do quite a bit of auto-testing and restoring your keys (especially towards the end!))

At least 450,000 Credits | At least 1,250 Tokens | 4+ i6 Engines for Pro Kits

-=-=-=-TIPS-=-=-=-

• Never spend on ANY lab unlocks. If you complete a lab before when the next lab is unlocked, do some farming. You should always have a decent amount of credits at ALL times.

• NEVER EVER spend your tokens for upgrades. Use your free upgrades accordingly -- there are a total of 4 in the R&D.

• Hit Auto-test ONLY WHEN NECESSARY.

• Use all your Proto-keys right when they've been delivered. They come and only come at 3 at a time.

• If you used all your keys, do some farming until they're re-delivered.

• Have fun!

1.) After completing .002. upgrade to 0202 and pro 1010. The next upgrades for TS and Nitro should be in tokens. (DO NOT move on to .003. yet)

2.) Complete .003.. You should get a free upgrade.

3.) Apply it to TS. It should now be at 0302 1010.

4.) Make your way to Lab 2. Upgrade to 2322 and pro 2222 (3333 if you can).

It is strongly recommended to stay above the recommended rank at all time and to use boosts if it says so -- this car gets a massive +76 increase in rank (and at least +30 km/h when a Tuning Kit is applied)

5.) After completing the first test of Lab 2 (.008.) you should get another free upgrade -- apply it to Nitro. It should now be at least 2323 2222.

6.) Before completing Lab 2's Ultimate AI, upgrade TS. You should also have gotten another kit box from .016.. Use it to complete the next line of Pro Kits. It should now be at 2423 3333 and the next and final TS upgrade will be in tokens only.

7.) Shred the Ultimate AI to pieces and move on to Lab 3.

8.) You should have gotten another free upgrade. Apply it to TS once more. It should now be at 2523 3333.

9.) Get all the way up to .026. (This is where the tests get REALLY hard.) BEFORE completing .027. (Ultimate AI), give Nitro an upgrade. It should be at 2524 3333. The next and final upgrade will be tokens only, just as it was for TS.

10.) Shred the Ultimate AI. The fourth and last free upgrade will be rewarded -- upgrade it to Nitro once more. It should be at 2525 3333.

12.) Move on to Lab 4.

11.) Move on to test .040. You should have at least 3 days left (!). Give Accel and Handling another upgrade and complete the next row of Pro Kits; it should be at 3535 4444.

12.) For .040., forget the QCs on the track; just take the best route(s) possible and achieve the given times for them. It may take quite a bit of takes but It's more worth it.

13.) Same thing for .043.; take the best route possible instead of going around for extra QCs and wasting precious time.

14.) After beating the Ultimate AI at .044., complete the final row of Pro Kits. It should be at 3535 5555 and rank 1750 and goes its maximum possible speed with a Tuning Kit (510~512 km/h). We ahould be all set for the remaining tests.

15.) Get to the final Ultimate AI (test 50) with at least 2 hrs left.

16.) This now just depends on your driving skill; it will take you only one try or will not be able to complete it whatsoever. If you run out of keys, refill it and use them over and over until you beat the AI. An Auto-test is 2,350 tokens. You WILL need all 3 boosts in order to stand a chance.

And that's about it. Good luck!

-=-=-=-EXTRA INFO FOR DUMMIES-=-=-=-

• The 2 sets of 4 digit numbers I used to describe tuning configuration works like this:

Upgrades are the first set of numbers, Pro Kits are the second.

So, if I had a car that had Level 3 Acceleration, Level 4 TS (Top Speed), Level 5 Handling and Level 2 Nitro and (Pro Kits:) Level 4 for Tires, Level 2 Suspension, Level 5 DT (Drivetrain) and Level 3 Exhaust, it would look like this: 3452 4253.

• The "Ultimate AI" is a ghost racer, therefore it cannot be wrecked.
