Best car iv'e ever driven. Hands down.

Dont touch it. Leave it stock. To turbo or supercharge a turbo would be committing sacrilege, punishable by castration.

No question. And I wouldn't turbo it. If you wanna turbo it, get a separate M3 to do so IMO.

I've never understood why people put crazy numbers down on M3's. Never understood.

If that car is that much better than even a stock E46 M3 it has to be one of the purest road cars ever made. One of the few cars i've driven out of many that truly feels like it has a soul.

It is an incredible driving experience. Stunning, stunning car.

I would say its a modern day E30M3, I lied before, the E30 is the best car iv'e ever driven, CSL second.

I'm fortuanate enough to say I have owned an E30 and they are so much fun its really hard to describe. My E46M was pretty hardcore full dinan car but If you can say that the CSL is a modern E30 that just puts a smile on my face.
