What are your thoughts of new M3 after owning a csl
Discussion
What are your views of new M3 and what were your thoughts when you test drove one and got back in your csls.
I very nearly purchased a csl but decided to go with a B7 RS4 as I wasnt confident in buying a csl (In the dont know enough about them and wanted security of new sense). The more I see the csl and and the new M3 I cant help but think the csl looks and sounds a lot more special.

As a CSL owner since they came out, I have no interest in the new M3. Sometimes I find that hard to believe, having been a BMW 'fan' for so long, but it's true. Interested in seeing what they do with the new CSL though... assuming I haven't already got into a position where I can afford the only cars I would replace the CSL with (F430, LP640 for example).
Don't listen to "Mr-on-the-Dope". He is Northern and drinks buckfast.
I had a CSL from new and now have a new M3. They are not direct replacements.
New M3 is good from the showroom, and just gets better and better. Mine has done some miles now is simply a brilliant road car. Good in the wet, in the dry and the engine growls at all speeds. Fantastic fun, and I am utterly smitten, when I was expecting to be underwhelmed, to be frank.
It is not comparable to a CSL, as the E46 lightweight is a track biased machine that with a few mods can be utterly brilliant on circuit. The E92 M3 is a belting road car, with more more grunt and road poise than the CSL.
The E92 M3 is a much, much, much! better car than a stodgy old RS4.

Not driven m3 but most reports and indeed the buying public think otherwise??I had a CSL from new and now have a new M3. They are not direct replacements.

The numbers and the dodgy looks kill it for me. CSL = far nicer.
