My Csl

[Shummy_f1]

CSL's are only available in SMG...due to weight reduction certain systems are removed...AC/radio etc...

[threeserious]

waste of money IMO...............I would never justify paying that much for a car that doesn't offer a manual transmission and no AC or Radio.....a little too much. But you > us plain jane M3 owners anyday. Enjoy it dude.

Everyone is missing the point of this car completely. It is an M3 track car built by BMW. It is made specifically for the track. It is their least practicle car ever made probably(within my memory at least). Who listens to the radio on the track? Who uses a/c on the track? It's SMG b/c it can change gears WAY faster than any human every could (like .08 seconds in S6?) very useful if you are on the track....see a pattern yet? If you want a practicle bmw, get a 5series.

Very true. However, is the person who has the CSL using it for the track only?

That's a good point.

However...
There's a good chance that a person who purchases a CSL will use it primarily for track use. It is a step above the E36 M3 Lightweights, and many of those found homes in racing clubs and on the tracks. Obviously, that's not always the case.
Think about it this way, the CSL is a race car for the road, just like the F50 etc... just to a (much) much lesser degree, that's all... none of these have AC, a radio.. the F50 doesn't even have electric windows....

[threeserious]

Damn what a waste of car if its for track-use only. And I cant imagine spending 160k+ and only drive it on track-days.

[fabadabean]

not for track-use only, but primarily for track use...

[big_sur]

that grey car in his photo gallery labeled CSL isnt a CSL. wrong front end, wrong trunk, wrong interior.

This is similar to what i was trying to say in another thread...but its called variety...some ppl need such power others need both power and luxary..so if u want a road-use m3...get the original but if u want a track-use one get the CSL..u have the option

[fabadabean]

very well said, thank you
