My previous car - 2005 E46 M3

I've been looking at BMW M3 forums again and I find myself missing my previous E46 M3 that I had when I was in Canada. I just wanted to share some pics of this beauty with all of you all. Enjoy!

Great looking E46. I was always a fan of the CSL look. Very clean. Its the same way I would build one!

Gorgeous car!

We didn't get CSL's here... only UK.

We did, however get the ZCP (Competition package) which had small upgrades like bigger brakes, interior package, 19" CSL rims, firmer suspension and a few other tweaks.

I can't wait to get an e46 as my DD. I found a nice comp pack in white with black guts

First of all, thanks for all the kind compliments! The M was amazing to drive and I miss it so much!

Yup. Canada and US are the same. No real CSL's. Mine started off as the competition pack (ZCP) with CSL steering rack, steering wheel, and a couple other "upgrades". I then added OEM CSL parts like the front and rear seats, center console, front and rear door panels, and of course the CSL intake. The sound of the intake is unbelievable. I believe I was one of the first to do the OEM CSL intake mod. I am aware that more and more people are doing this mod now as there are replicas of this intake. The OEM CSL intake is just a piece of art. I miss that car so much! I moved back to Hong Kong therefore I had to sell that car. In the near future, I hope I will be able to get a real CSL for collection.

We have similar tastes. Awesome M3 and GT3 RS. Question, did you live in or around Toronto? That car looks familiar.

Also, i'm assuming that CSL intake was legit, did you have troubles finding that piece?
