Do it!

The e46 m3 imo is the best looking m car and the csl has just topped it off with the performance

Do u feel there is actually that much diffrence in a E46 M3 and a CSL.
Wen they wer both new there was only "point 3 of a second" diffrence.

Dam, the cat's out the bag now . . . negligable difference . . . :banghead:

[GregorFuk]

:hahaha: :clown:

Same as GT3s. No different from a standard Carrera S. It's just tub thumping by owners who are already all in.

only 40-50k in the price now that's all ;-)

At the time I chose the csl over the gt3 because of its ability to take passengers & the boot. More of an all rounder. Still don't regret it even though Pork price has gone crazy

[MisterCorn]

The GT3 is a significantly different car to the cooking 911 though. The differences are more pronounced than between the M3 and the M3 CSL. This will surely affect the premiums. That and the engine problems on the non GT3/ turbo cars.

[Das Chin]

agreed. only those who missed out on a GT3 and the general retarded on Pistonheads come out with all that crap.

the mezger engine is a work of art, has the motorsport heritage right back to le mans (GT1 engine minus the blowers) and it does not have the issues of the 996 and 997s. plus all the other components such as suspension, adjustable ARBs, camber, uprated braking, aero, cooling, exhausts etc etc.

its just no comparison apart from the 911 badge and the shape. maybe front panels and the bonnet ;-) same for the CSL really.

there is a lot of difference between M3 and the CSL. its listed on here somewhere. defo 20ks worth. again look at the CSL to m3 values...it will be similar to that of the 997 and then the GT3.

here's a quick update on the car

So in the few weeks of ownership I've had the following done

Had the wheels refurbished
New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres all round
Had the seat bolsters re trimmed
Steering wheel re trim
New dash and gear stick cover (titan shadow) inserts
Storm motorwerks gear stick and paddles
New flippers

I've also re calibrated the SMG clutch using INPA, the car is driving flawlessly.

Next up, inspection2 service :-)
