Love Nardo Grey!!

When I first read the title, I thought oh no you can't do this to a proper CSL as something about CSL & GTS should be kept mainly OEM, specially the colours....but then read its a wrap so all is good

Looks real good, amazing job on the wrap and attention to detail

What a beautiful car, I'm such a sucker for the E46 - especially the CSL.

I wanted to bring out my inner child for a while, so Nardo wrap, black wheels and etc. had to happen.
Ghetto, blasphemy or not, I personally love it and it is totally reversible !

The color is VERY hard to capture on camera. It changes under different lighting a lot. These amazing photos were taken by @omarbahlol

Hope you guys like the new look, please comment...

Looks good. And compliments for giving the word "ghetto" a positive association!

Perfection!
The CSL with titan pipes gives an insane sound, perhaps the best sound from M - ever!
You have a true classic, and keeping the mods honest, it will raise in value, just look at seldom E30M, cost 100.000USD here.
Keep it, but use it as intend, such a car should be enjoyed!

Lovely car. The only reason that i have the regular E46M3 and not this one in the garage is the SMG only for this awsome model.

That's exactly what I did...sold my E93 and went back to a E46 M3 with low miles. Only thing I miss is more power...
