Default New E46M3 CSL

http://www.bmwclub.org.hk/news/0026.htm

Basically, E46M3 Lightweight. I like those seats. It will lap Nurburging North Loop under 8 minutes. Wow, that is P-car 911 TT territory. too cool. I wonder are they going to be avaiable in US or not.

Probably not, but maybe even if we do get it, it will be detuned and not as fast.

As usuall, we never get anything cool on this side of the pond. Either across Pacific Ocean or Altantic Ocean.

I hope the demand for this car is awefully low. One of the guy that I know, he bought his BRAND NEW M3 Lightweight in 97 for $32000. That is 15K under MSRP for a very very limited production car. 125 units were produced for USA.

Nevertheless, I like the way it looks. It should have the same weight as stock E36M3, but tones of power.

Sounds like they're "not available" for anyone. What a pisser, 3.5 lbs/hp!! Sequential Manual tranny, too. Wonder if I'd even fit in those seats

MSRP would probably be $60k-70k, which is about twice what I could afford anyway.

rumor is this car will be available in the US... I hope so, I'm #1 at a fairly large local dealer.
