CSL - what would you have changed

[E46CSL]

The CSL is an amazing bit of kit, we all know that :thumbs:

However,with the benefit of hindsight what bits would you have changed?

I would have preferred better seats, and more adjustment +

A solid black colour + a Red.

Better quality steering wheel, door kick panels

Better brakes


Over to you guys

i would have preferred softer heated seats, softer suspension, manual box, quieter engine noise, sat nav, polished wheels,

But seriously, a manual box gets mentioned so often. Even the GT3 RS offers sat-nav (although not in 2003/4).....the fact that some CSL owners retro fit sat-nav suggests it could have been a good option - not sure I would have chosen that option though.

Just better brakes,I like the rest,it makes the CSL a legend:thumbs:

I don't think so..... Further, the purists want a car without AC & without Xenons

[Sailorbaz]

Of course, and the M3 CS, that seemed a reasonable compromise.

Easy access dip stick.

If I could change it now a few more bhp.

AP brakes as standard, a proper dipstick (leaving myself open here) instead of the electronic tomfoolery, a manual option and more use of carbon fibre in th cabin - particularly dashboard and surround.

Definately NO satnav!!! That sort of superfluous rubbis goes with automatic door closers and boot openers :moan:.

The seats are great, the colours perfect! Red! :banghead:
It's a CSL and the fact it's raw & has no cup holders or arse heater :

Brakes are fine on the road but I have just upgraded purely to do some track work.

Buy a standard e46 if you want a smooth ride and somewhere to place your costa coffee

Just buy it , you won't regret it! :thumbs:

SMG or manual? I personally would have bought a manual if the option was there but having lived with the smg in the CSL I wouldn't change it
