Default 2004 bmw m3 csl sg

Hey all, I haven`t been a regular poster but do keep my eye on the forum and drool over some of your lovely CSL`s, even the SB ones....

I`d always wanted to own a CSL and finally got the opportunity last year and ownership so far has been everything I`d hoped it would be although find myself not wanting to use it, because of this I`ve recently had thoughts of selling it for an F80 M3... We`ll see what happens there though. Anyway, here are some pictures from initially picking the car up to how it now sits, hope you all enjoy

CSL Definitely one of those cars that’s better driven to appreciate.

Just one of those things Darren.
The newer M cars are great smooth and fast BUT you just don't get that signature M Noise. The NA straight six just sums up BMW for me from the CSL going back to the e30 325i Sport

I raced a 235i M VLN car down at Anglesey earlier this year. Great machine and very special but it just didn't rev, took some getting used to with the shift lights coming on 3/4 through the rev range. Being turbocharged that's not how they operate.
My pal / instructor done some laps in it and he also commented that my e46 race car was a much more "racey" car to drive. Now he races professionally for a living so I tend to listen to what he says

I've not even seen my CSL in 4 years as its in private storage.
Other priorities in life took over but its there when for when I want it. I have thoughts of selling every now and then and then remember just how competent and how much fun it is as a standard out the box car.

Now wise up
