wow, any pictures? is it true about the tires that they are almost slicks and barely work if it's cold or rainy? and is the trunk floor really cardboard? any clips of how it sounds? i heard it in a Top Gear video and it sounded amazing.

I habe uploaded some pics in my phoytos area. Tires are like racing tires, not to much as sliks but they tend to be slipery on cold weather, but with the DSC on you don´t have any trouble.
Some facts are true as the thing about the trunck but I complainded at the dealers and they placed some carpet in mines.
It does sound great, air intake is almost as if you placed a custom filter and the duct is made out of carbon fiber. The roof is also carbon fiber as well as the bonet.
I had a M3 SMG previous to my CSL and the difference is only that you pay more for less jajajaja.
But I cant argue that Im not Happy, because I Am its faster and I love to drive it on country roads.

Welcome to DTM!

Oh man, I just took a look at the photos in your gallery. Wish they weren't so small.

But congrats on the CSL!! You lucky bastard!!!!

Hey CSD! - I was just curious, are those photos in your gallery CSL pics? because it just looks like a regular M3, on the outside at least.... I thought the CSL did not have the fog lights, for one, and that it said CSL on the trunk... correct me if I'm wrong... or maybe I'm just not looking at the right pics, I dunno...

[Frank de Jonge]

It is a CSL, Maybe I'll see you this year in Köln at the BMW meeting . Not to far away from here hehe

[Shummy_f1]

Well yeah umm the front bumper is not that of a CSL...did u change it?

[tdc]

Those are two different cars. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that is a photo of his M3 that he turned in to get the CSL.

Does BMW offer the CSL in a 6 speed? Or only SMG?

Beautiful car, congratulations.

[tdc]

SMG only.

[eFourty6]

Why? Isn't that kind of dumb? Wouldn't someone who buys a lightweight M3, racing style, not want a 6 speed to still have the manual feel to it? Don't get me wrong, SMG's great, and it's a saviour to lots of people out there, but there's just some people who would prefer stick.

anyone got any idea on how much stock 325 flat 7 spoke rims weigh?

From a video i watched of some british guy talking about the csl...he said you can't drive it when its too cold...you can't drive it when its too hot and you can't drive it when its wet. He also said there was no radio or cd player. Is that true? And the CSL he was driving was manual so i guess there are manual CSL's. Is it true they have no AC either?
