BMW M3 2003 : CSL or SMG II?

[SupChargedCobra]

hi guys, i just wanted to know what you think about it...
Im on my way to buy an M3 for performance project and i dont know what version is the best for me... CSL are more powerfull but the SMG II system is realy intresting (Like F1, you can shift where the wheel) and that why i am esitate... if i buy the CSL im going to put it Semi-Automatical anyway but i will not have the short shifter where the wheel lol so do you think it will make a difference, Performance difference? Ex : CSL (with Semi-Auto gear) vs SMG II? i remember you the SMG II have 340Hp vs 360 (for the CSL) so that my question. Sorry about my english i know i am horrible when i try to explain myselft lol

1. CSL was offered in Europe. Where do you live
2. CSL was only offered with SMG II transmission, so your dillema is solved

buy a CSL and you got both options.
