Air Box, what's that all about?

you could always buy this. Cheaper than getting a CSL.

Plus you could project the shell and chassis how you like. With the CSL it would be a big waste IMO.

For me atleast, the car out of the box is pretty much what I need on street, so no need to mod (keep the wife nagging

).

If you mod a regular E46 ///M3 it would be quite a satisfying project, but with the CSL you would be spoiling it because BMW Motorsport pretty much included the key engineering bits to make it go fast! (composite materials where it mattered, DTM style induction system etc) Obviously the brakes were a shambles, but you cant win them all.

But in all fairness, they are ok. My R35 with the big calipers and street pads are probably not much better. (found that out the other night dragging a Ferrari)
