Its a lovely car, but would not have one over a CSL , it needs to be as well as , if like me you cant afford both , do like me , and keep the CSL till its paid off , then its yours to keep and buy an M3 as a day to day car...

It wasnt that good on track (compared to the CSL)

OOOPS !!

LOL ( don't buy that black one then

)

Well I bought the CSL to be my sensible car

. I wanted a car that was quick without modding it as I kept my Bmw Mini Cooper S (which is fairly modded) when I bought the CSL

I will be fitting the next stage of mods soon on the mini which will make it silly fast (removing the supercharger and fitting a turbo amongst other things, should take it from the the current 270+bhp upto 350-400bhp

)

Sweet, sounds like that'll be nippy !!

I drove a mates White convertible E92 before testing the CSL. The E92 is a stunning but practical car. Too practical infact! a lot quieter than the CSL too. Good for posing around town. Rather have the CSL, a born thoughorbred indeed made for the job. does exactly what it says on the tin!

Hopefully

its quick as it is as normal M3 drivers have found out

My best mate / co-director has one - great, fantastic car but lacks the raw character of the CSL. Depends what you want though doesn't it? DCT box is very impressive though... at least on the upshifts.
Keep meaning to take it out for a proper blast in the rain, just to see how well it skids.

Can imagine that'll be fun, wish I never sold mine.

I was thinking about selling it but I have had it from new and I love driving it. It makes me smile like driving the CSL

I've driven both the 6 speed and the 7 speed DCT ... Personally I do think the DCT is a step up from the SMG in the CSL. It is phenomenally smooth and really fast (almost automatic like .. .actually, very automatic about the whole experience)

As a chassis (I've had a pleasure of going to a workshop tech seminar on it explaning the dynamics) it is a vast improvement over the E46 and there's a lot of hidden underbody aerodynamics on the car that you wouldn't notice unless you were told about it.

When it first came out I must admit I absolutely HATED it ... I thought BMW had gone barking mad with the design and the V8 engine. I've actually now grown to really like the car after seeing at least 10 in Melbourne Australia driving around.

The coupe is my favourite and either in white or black - it looks stunning with a bit of suspension lowering and no tacky spoilers and kits.

As far as the drive goes it is very softly sprung even with the EDC (compared to the CSL). The noise isn't there compared to the CSL, but it is a lot better day to day proposition compared to the CSL in my opinion.

I would happily use one as a daily driver and occassional track day warrior - but as far as a the biggest grin on the face from driving a car, the CSL wins hands down - there's just no replacement for it!!

ps. One thing I really didn't like about the E92 M3 was the steering .... it sucks period.

pps. I actually didn't think the E92 M3 was that much faster than the CSL to be honest - If it was, it certainly wasn't noticeable.
