Here are some pics of my CSL. These are already posted around the forums but thought I'd add them to here so sorry to bore anyone thats seen them. Had the car for about 4 weeks know after a string of Lotus. Need a 4 seater and could not think of a better car to replace the Lotus....Just cannot stop driving it.

15 laps of the track, and the M3 did 19.7mpg and the hyundai did 15.7 mpg ..lol

Gorgeous car, and that has got to be one of the best factory wheel/ car combos ever.

Toyota Prius, and the M3 was not an E46 CSL like this, but the latest V8 E90 version.


Love CSL's though smile This is how all M3's should have been. Leave the bloat, silly gadgets, toys and tat for the rest of the range..

Cheers all for the comments...didn't expect such a warm reception on the car.

Yep the noise is stunning. Been lucky enough to have some nice cars in my time but I've never had a car that souds like this one....makes you want to put your foot down to hear it at full chant, so lots of visits to the petrol station.

Interior pic Track cit.







Just two more of the front

haha that has to be one of the most error laden posts ever!

Toyota Prius not Hyundai (as others have said)

it was 10 laps of the track not 15

the M3 did 19.4 and the Prius did 17.2 mpg...

Anyway, to the OP, fantastic car and awesome pictures! That has to be one of my all time favourite cars.

Nice car thumbup

It would be good to hear your views regarding the differences you have found in driving the Lotus and the CSL. ears(Driving mind - not the differences in practicality).

Did you track the Lotus and will you track this?
