Nice, is it a genuine one?

Can't remember if front disks are bigger on CSL's or not. Still, very nice.

I wish DC5s were more affordable, I'd love to have one, great things to drive, a mate few years back allowed me to have a drive in it, such an event.

Mine isn't that great on the road, stiff engine mounts, stiff springs, slight touch on the brakes put you though the windscreen etc. :D

Also, I paid less than £5k for this one*, so I'd say they are affordable.

*may have needed a few k spending on it...this is what it looked like when I bought it.

Bet he sat there rubbing his hands together when he posted his E46 "Oooh, the lads on motors will love this"

Instantly gets ripped in to.

I think it looks amazing. But some people have an issue with anything that isn't exactly how it came out of the factory. Don't get me wrong, I generally only like things that look OEM/subtle and there's nothing wrong with a regular E46 M3, but if you can make some styling tweaks that look completely OEM/classy still (which they obviously do because were factory fitted to a CSL) to make it look better then why not? It's not a "fake CSL", unless it purporting to be a CSL, it's just got some alternative bits on it. Personally I prefer the standard front bumper, but would rather have the CSL wheels and the CSL bootlid than the regular items as they just look nicer.

It's not like he's painted the wheels black with rattle cans, tinted the windows, put two white stripes down the car and slammed it now is it?

I agree with you but as soon as you start wearing the badges (it's got the csl wing grills) then who are you trying to kid? Anyone who is going to be impressed by it will know the difference.

Cor, eagle eyes! I still can't even see them now :/

But yeah, as I said, badges is where I draw the line. Styling changes are fine as long as you're not putting fake badges on it.

I personally think it looks greats, if its genuine parts then even better, If anything it looks OEM+.
