Should i convert my M3 E46 to M3 CSL ???

ghaithdaker · 04-01-2015, 07:48 AM

Hey All ,

So i`ve been on the lookout for hunting for an M3 CSL for ages sadly where i live which is in Dubai , United Arab Emirates.
The CSL Was never introduced to the country except for 2 Peices that were sold in the UAE which both Belong to Royal Sheikhs..
The Painful part is that its soo hard to find a Left Hand Drive CSL

Should i just convert my Car to an OEM CSL?

My Ride is 2006 JP90992Vin which is Last year Production for the E46 M3. Shes in Silver Grey Metallic OEM Color, Red Interior and only has 78000KM .

I found 60% of the CSL Parts on ECS Tuning but as far as for the Airbox , CF Roof , Interior , its hopeless

some of my friends tell me " It will never be a CSL"

What do you guys think ?

Should i consider flying somewhere and hunting for one or should i just convert mine ?

If you're seriously considering converting an M3 to CSL spec have a word with Ejaz aka '0-60Motorsports' on here, or http://0-60motorsports.com/ he's in Bahrain and has already undertaken a conversion on his.
He will be able to help you source parts and give you a better idea of prices/final costs.

However as your friends have already said "It will never be a CSL" it will always be a replica because of the VIN.

Good luck with the project

As your friends said

You must be able to get one from some where

Why do you want a CSL ?

It's not that much different to a normal E46 M3.
