Thanks JC. I appreciate your comments as you seem to have heard the entire array - live! Never heard it in person as I will be the first with this system on the car in my country. If it is too loud, I will just change it out. Fact that it's bolt on makes that easy. Luckily it's not too pricey in comparison with what else is available, as I stated in one of my previous posts.

Thanks Nate! Too late, you're not helping either Was at his house and saw his car in person. It looks amazing! That ESS should finish it off nicely. I don't think I will go to the extent he has. That's the plan anyways....

So, when can I get my CSL trunk?

I would think it's rather the opposite, mod a regular M3 and keep a "special" edition M3 stock.

It's like modding a M3 CSL, which is not done IMO. But to each its own

Enjoy it in good health and we need more pics.

I hear you, that's why my Z3 M Coupe is a stock as you can get. Like I said, all this stuff is bolt-on. I can have it back to 100% OEM in less than 40 minutes. No harm done

I thought your Z3 M had some Schnitzer mods? Great car nontheless, how many miles do you have on the car now?

I think it would be one thing if they had built a e92 M3 CSL, however, the Edition is only different in terms of cosmetics, so I don't see why there would be anything wrong with modding this car. If it had been a M3 GTS, we may have another story

It's all personal preference.
As you mentioned the Edition is only different in terms of cosmetics, that's just the reason why I would leave it stock.

How many Editions M3 were made, or are beeing made?

Here is what the AA system sounds like for the rest of you that aren't familiar with it.

Sounds tough! I have heard a couple AA setups in person and I am a big fan. Haha I like this dude's license plate too.
