Welcome to the fold Andy.
I've test driven a couple of CSs before I bought my CSL and they're OK but I couldn't justify the extra £££ premium over the standard M3 E46 (which it self is a decent car) yet only a few grand cheaper then the CSL, despite the CS being quite rare. IMHO it all depends on how you're planning to use your M3. If it's going to be your only car for the daily grind, you want a RARE E46 but you like your creature comforts (heated leather, Sat Nav/TV, Cruise etc. ) then the CS might be more suitable however if you're planning on tracking your M3, even just a little bit then it's definitely got to be the one with the Carbon Air box + you won't have to change your sigy name to seeS... no L

Welcome to the register Andy.I would go CSL,ive had an m3 and the CSL is just so much better,unless you ferry the family around a lot.

Hi B,

Cheers the M3 is a bit of a rare beast in this neck of the woods tho so this may take some time or alot of travelling

If I remember correctly it was the interior that was extremely grubby with a worn out/through steering wheel showing foam beneath the Alcantara and mucky seats but since it's near you then why not... I may be mixing this one with another. Let us know if I remembered correctly
