Side by side, E90 seems to take little more time to get used to but I kinda like it. Also, new M3 look so much nicer when the car is moving. Try to notice that.

thanks for sharing and indeed, e46 looks better but e92 isnt too bad.
btw it's e92, not e90.

Did the CSL ever come in stick? If not, how BMW didn't make a manual tranny CSL is beyond me... what a waste.

As a sports car mainly used for the street (99.99% of us use our sports cars this way, I assume), self-shifting is the only way to go... imo.

wow the CSL is much better looking then the new one - thats a shame - i dont remember exactly how much faster a CSL is compared to an standard e46 but it wasnt much, yet here the CSL is barely slower then the new e92 m3... that SUCKS! is it really such a shame to want straight line speed as well as handling, why cant we have both?

im not sure the CSL is slower than the new m3...it weighs only 3075 lbs...has 362 hp and is def much faster than both e46 reg m3 and e92 m3 around a track...i would think it was faster in a straight line too.

you can have both, but it depends on how much straight line you want. my m3 is fast enough in a straight line for me and handles amazingly thanks to suspension work and about 100 lbs less weight.

or you can just get a 996TT, like you have for straight line and handling

They may be close in terms of straight line accel, but on a track the CSL owns. Check out the times posted for the CSL in the 'ring--it's ridiculous.

well i would hope it would be slower then the new M3 in straight line speed - around a track is a diff story, i know the CSL is just an amazing track car and if i lived across the pond i wouldve loved to own one

996TT....had sold and next year i shall be gettin rid of the E55 and start looking once again for a 996TT 03+ 997TT's will prob be outta price range - that thing did have it all though, it was just a bad time that i purchased it and had to let it go... kinda regret it, it was quite an amazing car with a quite amazingly bad interior
