God I love this. These videos never get old. The old SMG debate gets a little tired but there's no denying this car. It truly is one of the best cars BMW ever developed. 17 years later it remains the benchmark of modern day BMW's and given the current climate and direction of the new stuff I'm pretty sure we'll never see the likes of anything remotely close to what the CSL is.
My fear is that much like every other "special edition" BMW has done, they'll throw a "CSL" nameplate on something simply from a marketing perspective. Sorry, but anything present day labeled as "CSL" would be an absolute insult to the 3.0 AND the E46. Whatever carries that name has some very serious shoes to fill. Personally I think you leave it at the 3.0 and E46.
