Hope to see you at Snetterton sometime soon

Hi Bealo,

The CSL has been fitted with the obigatory AP front brakes and KW coil overs, so should be fairly track focused.

Loking forward to a track day at Snetterton ASAP.

Hello chaps

Thought I'd just introduce myself. I'm not actually a CSL owner at the moment but I'm seriously considering it. I've owned a couple of M3's before (an E36 and an E46) and i fancy another one so thought I'd look into CSL's. And I like what I see!

I'm still a bit unsure about whether I'd like SMG, but probably the only way to find out is to get one and see how it goes.

I've had a read through some of the 'newbie with questions' threads which have answered a lot of things for me, but no doubt I'll have a couple more questions to bother you all with!

I'm at the Ring several times a year and think I probably saw some of you there this year - there was definitely one trip with loads of CSL's with CSLRegister stickers cluttering up the car park!

Welcome

I have to say, the first few days of using SMG was difficult for me. Getting used to an automatic manual is a slow process (especially as I was coming from a slush-matic)

But, slowly getting there. And hopefully will prove some people right, that eventually it becomes the best of both worlds, as there is an art to driving it correctly that rewards you when you get it right. Already I've done a few very clean starts and shifts and it does give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

Welcome Chris

I was the same with SMG when i started, but you adapt to it very quickly... On track SMG makes complete sense!

There were a good few of us at the Ring in July!

Welcome Chris...

Hello and welcome Chris

Chris · 21-10-2009, 12:39 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome

My concern about the SMG isn't so much adapting to it, that's part of the fun of getting a new car, it's more to do with not feeling as 'connected' and 'involved' as with a manual, a bit like I done when I've driven full autos. But I guess there's only one way to find out!

Got a test-drive booked for lunchtime...
