CSL just voted the best M-car EVER!

[Mike R]

Not a huge amount of competition (they had already narrowed it down to 3 cars that in their opinion had the best M-car DNA), but still can't hurt residuals ;).

Full of the usual inaccuracies from little or no research, but hey-ho, still another CSL video :).

Thanks for sharing! :)

They really don’t have a clue , it’s a proper manual gearbox, you just don’t need to use your left foot ! How clever is that :supz:

[Bounce]

Very good:thumbs::thumbs:

Thanks. Good watch on a dull day :thumbs::thumbs:

Why are people still so defensive over this? It’s really just a matter of preference and SMG really does show its age now compared with modern double clutch boxes and even ZF autos. Manuals are always manuals.

Hey imagine driving a CSL that uses the left side of your body too!

Never found anything wrong with SMG,you’ll always notice that those that don’t own one,don’t like it lol:birdman:

I would take the SMG over a DMG in the csl. It's all part of the driving experience. People moan about modern cars being boring & then moan about old technology.

Just teach yourself to left foot brake. ;)


Agree with the others, the SMG works perfectly in the environment it was designed for, all while being alot lighter than an auto box or DCT.
And its not like its painful to drive in traffic, its just a bit jerky at times. D

I love the SMG :thumbs:

The ones who love manual have the option to buy the simple M3 E46.

Well that doesn't sound like a very good option at all.

I want one with a gear lever for road use and then the paddles for track (like you used to see on some rally cars, where you could watch the lever moving when the paddles were being used and then switch to manual mode in the event of the air-shifter failing :supz: ). It's not going to happen, but that would be my dream spec :blalalala:.

Looking at E90 M3 saloons at the mo - lots of car for half the money of a CSL :smokin:

Do you mean there is a transmission that has shift paddles on the steering wheel and a lever that is still H-pattern?:smt017


Only thing that i can think of is the paddle shift upgraded 997 GT3 Cups.
Some still retained the shift lever in addition to paddles. But the lever, of course wasn't in H pattern but sequential.

I had one with a manual gearbox.

It was nice, but it was not a car that made me look back when I had it parked.

The driving position made you sit too high as well.
