What's there to explain? CSL with Porsche graphics...

Just right for fast motoring: the extra-powerful engine of the M3 CSL. The significant increase in power and performance is however not only the result ofintelligent lightweight engineering. Rather, the straight-six power unit already renowned for its high engine speeds has been enhanced to an even higherstandard, BMW M's engineers boosting maximum output to 360 bhp at 7,900 rpm from 3.2 litres capacity, that is a sensational output-per-litre figure of 111bhp. Maximum torque, in turn, is 370 Nm at 4,900 rpm.

Watch the Top Gear video and prepare to fall in love.

(it never came to North America)

Oh, CSL = Coupe Sport Lightweight. Just a lighter version of the M3....

The CSL name was first used back in the 70's with the 3.0 CSL.

My friend's old E46 M3

 

[xdoeboix]

ta look got corny quick

car looks good tho

I used to love a TA stripe. Nowadays, I'm a full polish guy.

 

[vancity74]

The time-attack style definitely doesn't belong on German cars in my opinion.

That M3 is nice, but again, I don't like the wheels, nor do I like the GTR skirts or 1-piece lip. I do like the CSL goodies, however.

 

[silverswoosh]

I recall seeing a picture of a dope E30 M3 with TA. I'm not sure if I saved it, though.

Yeah, my friend was trying to be different, most people on e46fanatics keep rocking the CSL wheels or HRE's, he wanted to go a little JDM and a littleEuro. This is way back before TA was getting played out, Rotas started coming out with TA still, and people painting their stock wheels TA, thats when itstarted getting annoying. At least he had real Volk's instead of knockoffs. I thought it looked nice, what really set it off was his red interior, itmatched the TA stripe. I think he should've also gotten red RAYS lugs..

He parted out and sold the car because he was getting broke...

 

[indohan]

LOL... I'm so glad everybody here talks about e46 and not e9x.

 

[kn0wledgeable]

Just a shot in the dark. Would anyone know if buying a Lexus IS300 at 119,XXX miles at $9K is a good deal? Assuming everything else was in working order, wouldit be a good buy? I'm currently driving my dad's Toyota Camry (1995) at 230,XXX miles and it's still going strong.
