Modified M3 e46 "CSL"

vdvpj · 06-04-2011, 03:14 AM

I was driving behind this e46 M3, at first I thaught it was a CSL, but then I noticed that it didn't have the alcantara race buckets and no carbonfibre roof.
Still a very nice M3 though, the owner did the CSL mods to a regular M3, great job. It also had a Nurburgring sticker on the back, proof of a true racer.
What do you think of it?

This is like everyday M3 in US

With the CSL trunk and modded exhausts?
I'm from Belgium, cars or way more expensive here. For cars like that you pay easily 5000 euros (about 7000 dollars) on taxes to get it on the road. An e92 M3 costs about $103k here.
I've been to NYC, LA and Las Vegas and it struck me how cheap cars, gas, ... are in US.

I thought the "real" CSL E46 has a "M3CSL" badge on the back?

I guess what I was trying to say is that, I thought the OP would have realized that without having to look at the race bucket seats or CF roof. Plus the video says "BMW M3 CSL"
Oh well, beautiful M3 nonetheless

vdvpj · 06-04-2011, 09:26 AM

Indeed, the real CSL has also a CSL tag on the back, but not necessarily. You can leave it off. A good friend of mine had one back in the days, he now owns a e92 M3 with Heinz tuning and Akrapovic exhausts.
As I mentioned in the description, it is e regular M3 with CSL mods (trunk, rims).
Title says M3 "CSL", because it's not a CSL...
What does "OP" mean? #daretoask, I'm kind of new to this forum.

Cool. But why is this in the E92 forum

I don't mean to offend you...but A sticker does not mean you are a racer...

Ever been on the Nurburg ring?
You're right, a sticker doesn't mean you're a racer, it was just a figure of speech. If you don't go racing on the Ring, you shouldn't have a sticker of it on the back of your car...

I agree!! But the problem is very Tom, Dick and Harry have a ring sticker on their car nowadays!

Yeah, true... I even saw a very old Toyota Corolla a while back. A very old guy was driving it, and it had a ring sticker on the back. THAT was hilarious! Haha, big fail.

even worse in Indonesia, E92 M3 would cost around $230k there

greekcs · 06-08-2011, 09:12 PM

Im starting to like the CSL wheels over my CH's. Am I crazy?
