But so far on the 1.3hr drive back it all feels 'tight as a nut' and sounds bloody awesome. Full report to follow with piccies once I get a good go out in it!

CONGRATULATION I guess it's my turn to buy a CSL now ... No pressure .

Speaking of 'that' noise, I'm viewing Jeff's CSL tomorrow. This beast has Supersprint 100 Cell cats and the NEW model MILTEK back box. That should be interesting to hear

Glad you're happy with the car - enjoy it - and 'that' noise!

I can only imagine! If I didn't need to carry around the little 'un every so often I would do the same... but as it stands it's loud enough for me!

And yes, I should be hit in the testes for using auto mode, but still getting used to 'having' to shift, after having an auto 335i that is just as happy at both (and not great at either).

I understand about the little one, but since I still don't have one of those and I'm often accused by my better half for acting like one, I'm going to view Jeff's CSL with an open mind and terrified ears Lets hope I don't lose all of my hearing in one afternoon
