That's not what BMW said when we were in Munich :)

[Yanto]

So this suggests they weren't really trying with the E46 M3......

Lol! :-D

They won't be interested mate as a standard E46 M3 wearing Cup tyres is as quick as an E46 M3 CSL on track anyhow... :smt108

Especially if it's got heated seat buttons, but no heated seats.

interesting considering you guys said the Engineers hinted to a M4 CSL... maybe it got canned.

"Rather than doing a halfway house to begin with," Matt explains, "and then rolling out a CSL, we thought we'd make the ‘real' car as light as we possibly could. So we've no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet."

Has this been quoted on Cutters yet?

:thumbs: :hahaha: :thumbs:

The same person email-ed me 2 months ago telling me there will not be a CSL.
Maybe they will make a GTS style car... but that's not clear.

You're a fookin legend......been proper chuckling to myself reading that tonight !

[LeinsCSL]

:thumbs: Best laugh reading that I've had in a long time. Makes the M135/M235 stuff on PH seem a bit tame

I especially liked the argument that the std M3 is a greater car than the CSL due to its front foggies! :hahaha:

It's getting nasty now :-D

I believe BMW took the correct decision because they already put a carbon roof in both of M3/M4 cars. This thing of course doesn't make them a CSL BUT....for one reason i don't like to hear and see that the coupe version of the new M3 is called M4.. WTF is going on with BMW??

CSL is a different car referred to different approaches..

Oh God..

[Alx]

...for one reason i don't like to hear and see that the coupe version of the new M3 is called M4.. WTF is going on with BMW??

+1

For me, nowadays, M stands for Marketing and BMW stands for "Becoming Much Worse"

The utlimate disappointing machine...

[Loaded]

Totally agree with you Alx. I believe that nowadays big brands cares only about the sales and profits. The feeling of driving a very special car like a CSL or a M3 E30 Sport Evolution have long gone... Τhey made the GTS just for profit. No CSL feeling at all... An easy to drive car with now any driving pleasure and rewarding.. If you want to drive fast a CSL you have to be focused and have fast reflexes. In the end of the day the moral compensation you get is incredible!! With the GTS you don't get that. I believe and this is clearly my personal opinion that BMW reached the peak with the M3 E46 and the CSL version. Then the BMW cars we used to know cam.e in a new production era. More shit cars for more money, more exports in other countries like China because the market is still rich..which 'forced' BMW to lose the great driving sensation they had. How many versions of the M3 E92 were made in order to make a lot of money.?? BMW ended up like Lamborghini...with so many versions... The last recent and great BMW model in BMW's history that i really enjoyed to drive it, is the 1M.

That's all.
