Only time the car has attracted attention was at a charity track day. The Mrs & I were surprised that certain members of the public took more interest in it than the gt3s, lambs, etc. The majority, however, seemed to think it was a 318.
To be fair mate,you do drive it like a 318

Are you sure you don't have a massive cock scratched into the rear bumper? My puma gets about the same attention as the CSL does.

Love the Nobles....about as inconspicuous as a Lime Green RS!!

Everyone who notices my sg is in a M3 or m5 and usually on a petrol station fore court.

One of the lads who works for me used it to go to his wedding and then ended up explaining for the rest of the day what was special about it. He now calls it a car bores car. Only true petrol heads (and m3/m5 owners) know what it is.

Sh*t. Maybe it is a 318. I did have my doubts about some of the parts when I bought it.

I'll be arriving to my wedding in July in the csl, I did want to try and get my best man a lift in another thought it would be great to turn up in two csl . The car gets a few looks around worcestshire area when I bring it out but still have to explain what it is

I sometimes use mine for business meetings as everyone thinks its an old grey BMW. Cant use the Porsche as it gives the wrong impression ( work in farming )

Most of the rest of the time and pretty sure everyone looks at it as a chavvy bmw with a noisy exhaust

Its definately an under the radar car that most don't even look twice at , unless I'm at full throttle

Think it is under the radar for some but not everyone; have had a fair few thumbs up and photos.

I think if you rock up in a Massey Ferguson with a carbon fibre roof or 'lightweight John Deere' with 'specially tuned suspension' you would have more kudos!
