Had to buy a bulb from my old dealers as it is local and I thought that as it was only £10 then they are not making too much from me. Anyway, my old salesman comes out and is suprised to see me looking at a CSL they have for sale - yes I am interested in it, but as a day to day car with no arm rest it will be a pain :P . He then asked how my 325 was and I pointed to my 330 that he lost the sale on because he was being too gready and offering a pants deal. Obviously wanting my business he asked if I wanted a test drive - well, I wasn't going to refuse!!!
Bloomin heck, mother of all things holy I need this car. The response of the chassis is almost telepathic and the noise is race car like with a mental induction sound and I mean MENTAL.
Love the seats, and the carbon. All in all it is something that I love but why did they not offer it with a proper six speed manual rather than flappy paddles, really detracted the experiance but have I said WHAT A CAR :D
Haven't told my wife that I have driven it, haven't even told her I have looked at it. I also would need to convince my company that I need a two door car (company rules state that all car allowance drivers must purchase a 4 door :mad: ).
Just got to find some way of getting one. If it isn't this time round then maybe I will be on the hunt next year for one in sapphire black - still don't think the CSL has enough visual impact in silver grey.
Oh, and it would need the top speed limiter removed ;)
Here is a pic of the exact car I drove:

I keep flitting between the idea of an E90 M3 four door , the much anticipated E90 335i but now the E46 CSL plays a sly hand :rolleyes: .
