Apparently it's like a formula one smoking tyre standing start.

Nobody would ever want to do that at a traffic light gp situation with anyone watching.

Oh dear god, I can picture it now

The boot liner that covers the seat well is made from compressed cardboard but can take a heavy load. If you've lifted the wooden boot liner in a standard M3 you'll reaslise why they've done it. The standard item is way over engineered.

A CSL without aircon is really hard to sell on and also a rarity. Most CSL's were sold with aircon. And a radio.

On a day to day basis, apparently the seats are the things most people struggle with. Whilst comfy and supportive, getting in and out of them you have to be careful as the edges are very solid.

I think the LC thing which affects standard SMG M3's too, is actually from the US. In some regions the LC had to be unlocked.

As I understand, the comfort options were available foc so most of them seem to be fitted with aircon etc.

You'll struggle to find one. But you should be able to get it cheaper if you do.

Prepare to sweat though. And find it difficult to move on.

LC is a gimmick on the CSL, its quicker just to use the m-track mode.

I wonder what will happen to values when this new v8 m3 comes out, hopefully there will be some bargains. BMW's
