E46 M3 brethren that have kept the items in production by BMW in the first place.....

As long as there is a big demand for the parts, then BMW are going to keep producing them and selling them. As soon as the demand dries up, so will production.....

IMO this car is an absolute credit to the owner, the level of detail and determination (and financial commitment) should only be appreciated IMO.

Seconded!

I think it looks bloody brilliant. It's been done properly as well, which counts for a hell of a lot IMO.

Nice bit of work...but everybody certainly doesn't want a manual....I don't, and BMW engineers certainly didn't.

Having owned my CSL for over a year now, I find the SMG a bit anodyne on the road - its just not as an involving experience as a manual, but on the track (where the CSL belongs), it just comes into its own.

I think I'd love to be in the position of the OP - manual CSL for the road (manually heel and toeing must be an absolute joy), and the real thing for the track
