Looks very good! White and carbon fibre is a great combination.

[mattCSLnut]

Car looks great :thumbs: but did U do the important bits under the bonnet (hood) :whistle: Shame San Francisco is still quite a distance from Las Vegas as I'd love to have a closer look :drool: while I'm here in Nevada for the Holidays.
p.s. I'm interested in the BREMBO brakes you're running on your M3. Is this a kit that's available off the shelve ?

[daytonaviolet]

sorry no CSL intake, cam or steering ratio. i have yet to see a CSL intake conversion on this side of the pond which has a functional CSL flap and ECU. there was a guy in germany who did do it and his name was turbo-s on the forums. i wish there was a shop in the USA that could tune it for me if i did do the conversion. so for now, its only visual mods. :thumbs: yeah Vegas is about 9hrs from the bay area. my brakes are the 380mm Brembo (4pot) which are straight off the shelf.

here are some color renditions ///M3-=FiN=- did for me. :smokin:

Leave it as it is m8... Your White M3 looks really COOL :thumbs: in Cali. sunshine. Can U point me in the right direction with a web link or something, to a supplier of this "Brembo" E46 M3 brake kit ? How much ? and how easy is it to fit ? God I miss my SG CSL over this side of the pond :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

welcome Daytonaviolet, car looks lovely, ever thought about how it would look in ..... Black ??:whistle:
Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday to you.

[3wheels3]

...i am sliding towards WHITE for my CSL - sorry lawsy...

I reckon if they'd done white aswell as sg/sb well over 50% would have been white. It does look stunning. If only I needed a respray :hahaha:

[DazBlackCSL]

Agreed white is very nice in CSL trim;)

Welcome aboard DTV, like the chequers thing in green :whistle:

my car came AW from the factory :smokin:

[mattCSLnut]

thanks everyone for the warm welcome :thumbs:




my car came AW from the factory :smokin:


Quite a RARE factory colour, on an E46 M3 ? I've only seen a couple of Alpine White E46s in metal + I have a 1:18 scale model of one in AW (next to a 1:18 scale replica of my SG SCL :thumbs:) There is an AW E46 M3 "For Sale" on Pistonheads at the moment...:whistle:

[mattCSLnut]

By the way, any idea on how difficult it would be to import a Genuine M3 CSL to the States ? has any one done it ? or at least tried ? :whistle:

[aponting389]

Quite a RARE factory colour


Not in America!

[mattCSLnut]

Not in America!


Hmmm... there are lots of White BMW about but most M cars in the South West US seem to be Silver, Black, Blue or Red... :whistle:

[daytonaviolet]

matt,

like others have mentioned, the AW e46 m3 is a dime a dozen here in the states. i wish we had the real CSL here :thumbs:

[daytonaviolet]

im sure its possible to import one here :whistle: in fact, one of the BMW dealers by my office claims to have seen an authentic SG CSL in there shop. they verified the numbers as well as taken pictures of a fully operational CSL intake flap. but, from what i was told.. the car CANT legally be driven or registered. if it were ever to be involved in an accident it would be crushed :bigcry:

perhaps import a CSL here and just change out the VIN?? anycase, no insurance company here will every insure a real CSL.

Yes I got the email confirmation about 10 minutes ago - Cheers for all your help with getting the tool and switching the warranty over!!

I haven't installed the tool yet, going to try and do this this afternoon if my phones will stop ringing!! Looking forward to using it!

[bromers]

If it's for personnal use for a short period I think you can import it - 12 months max though.

Nearly took my Elise years ago, worth doing especially if your company is paying for relocation.

Obviously NOT in Nevada... in the two weeks I've been here, I've seen 6 E46 M3s, all in Silver :whistle: but I'm fully aware White is a very popular colour choice in the US

[cslgirl]
