Your CSL wouldn't exist if the regular E46 M3 didn't come out first. The CSL was a standard M3 that they added all the extra pieces to to make it unique. The reason why so many M3 owners in the states want oem csl parts is primarily due to quality of products.

It's not hate dude... just good old FREEDOM of expression
With all due respect the reason why you guys didn't get the E46 M3 CSL is because of your own OTT emission regulations (especially Cali. emissions) ) and the overall US obsesion with SUVs the size of small "Suburban" houses. So go and submit a complaint to your US representatives
at the White House and not blame the BMW M guys in Munich. Trust me, they would have LOVEd to have sold the CSL in the US, which was BMWs biggest market in 2003.
With regards to the regular E46 M3, I don't think anybody is knocking it here... it's without a doubt a great M-car
and good basis for the M3 CSL, however IMHO the real reason for the US M3 owners appetite for CSL parts is to recreate (as close as they can) an M3 CSL, because your own government denied it to you guys
Kudos for being rebellious
