So, given that this car will happen fairly soon after the launch of the standard car have we all got our orders in?

I hope they don't make the E92CSL heavier than the E92M3 (1535kg DIN) wink

I understand that the gap between the 'standard' M3 and the CSL will be bigger this time round - more akin to a 997S v 997GT3 (although I don't imagine that in the BMWs case it will be a totally different engine!) Spent the day on track in a well set up CSL recently - goodness me it was quick, GT3 quick which suprised me. Bit of a bargain and the ideal drive to and on 'Ring/Spa warrior. But you guys already know that! Best lock my cheque book away for a few days 'till this latest foolishness wears off! Must be sensible and just wait for the new one.

rofl Yes they're a touchy lot - and I speak as an ex 997GT3 owner. I may feel it my duty to make them aware of this dicovery - but I'll wait for a slow afternoon I think. wink In fact I can tell them how much better my newly aquired F430 is than my GT3 at the same time!! What laughs we'll have!

Pugsey i'm sure your 430 is better than a gt3 but then at the money they're at you could have a new gt3 and 2 mint low mile csl' in the garage.
no disrespect as i'm seriously falling for the lines of a 430 and think it will be the next step after my rs arrives in a couple of weeks. say 12 months down the line when they are a little more in my price brackets.
