It's a dumpster fire of poor taste. The E46 CSL oozes quiet confidence, and rapid heart beats from those who know what it is. Just how it should be. This is Tiktok shite for children.



I'm going across to Stuttgart.

Don't you think it's a bit like judging a book or someone by its cover/skin ? What are you doing with all the technical efforts and (probably) the incredible driving dynamics ?

I agree today's popular styles or trends are less classy and often dictated by view counts but you can order the car in black without the funky vynil stripes you know..

Don't get me wrong, the car underneath....1000%. But you wrap a prime steak in gold leaf and drizzle limoncello over it and you've still got a hot mess, however good that cut is.

Driving dynamics are lovely but that price tag isn't

Not a single word about weight ???
Come on guys it weighs as much as an m6 did. They should have just released an M2 CSL if it was all about honouring the CSL ethos.

The full buckets (racing) are standard for all markets. The optional seats are the regular M Carbon should you want power and recline, etc.
