Evolve bought a CSL

[TexaZ3]

Ha yea... Bit out of my price range currently. TBH I want a nostalgic JDM car. Something I drooled over in high school. S15. DC5 ITR. That kind of thing. I'm planning on getting one next year if the shipping container fuckfest settles back down. Currently getting a car to Germany from Japan is a huge pain.

S15 would be sweet. Though, at that point gotta go R33

For a CSL bought partially for collectors status I would not have bought Sapphire Black. I have nothing against it before black colored M3s take offense. It’s just the Silver Gray shows more of the carbon fiber contrast and lines. It’s more iconic CSL as debuted in my humble opinion.

On the other hand it could argue that black sapphire CSLs would command a higher premium due to their scarcity vis-à-vis production numbers.

I understand this is against modern convention these days but I prefer more subtlety integrated carbon pieces. The beauty of black is that you can either choose to paint it or let it be without being a ricer.

I assume you never saw one in person... Carbon looks even better. Smooth contrast.

As far as feel goes ill concede that our transmission is not great. But even less great is the smg at being an automated manual transmission

SMG with the CSL tune (which naturally, the CSL has) is fantastic.

Had the csl tune and still dont think its even close to better than manual. It does make the smg much much better though thanks to it rev matching on downshifts.

Imagine the csl with a manual, now that would be something.
