The fact a CSL can be included with a GT3 and 360CS shows BMW knew what they were doing back in the late 90s to early 2000s. An era that is truly missed!
Riding the trough downwards on price but still producing visceral, gutteral, bestial imputs you'd have to include the 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra which-with simple bolt-ons- produced 500 bhp without protest from an iron block, supercharged 4.6 L DOHC V8 mated to an unbreakable tremec 6 spd manual. Apart from being slightly underbraked and slightly overweight based on its 101.3" wheelbase and nose-heavy weight distribution the car was workable and produced thrust never before felt till that point. Excellent comparo as usual SCD !!!
I own an E446 M3 with a carbon hood and trunk, a few mods (full bolt ons), titanium exhaust and I love it so much. I think I'll go for a drive right now!
The GT3RS every day. I was lucky enough to own a 2003 996 GT2 (yes, GT2, not GT3) for a few years, and that thing was a weapon. No traction control, no electronic nannies, no driver aids, except ABS on the Carbon Ceramic brakes the car came with. I tracked that car, and once you got the front end geometry fixed it was utterly brilliant. I was a track driving instructor, and used to track it with GT3RS and GT3Rs, Vipers, Corvettes, and I was consistently shocked at just how good it was. The GT3 and GT2 of that era, were some of the last Porsches that were raw, unaided and relied purely on driving talent and ability to drive at the limit; no intervening nannies to save your ass.
It's a very nice film. In my opinion, these vehicles are the sweet spot of Driver Cars. Quasi the golden era. I also have a pair of E46 M3s and just haven't been able to get away from them for 12 years. These new-fashioned Turboboxes with XXX screens, emotionless motors, brakes and steering ... no thanks, I'll stick with them here.
Great video! Filming was awesome and the sound quality inside the cars was great. And I’ve filmed enough in cars to know that’s not an easy thing to do.
For a pure drivers car, the 996RS is not only the easy winner of this test but the greatest 996 and indeed the greatest ever GT3 ! All those that followed were remote and over polished by comparison. One of the greatest 911’s as well, very few modern cars are as rewarding or ask so much of the driver.
I would happily own any of these but ended up owning the one that I lusted after from new the 360 CS. For me it’s the noise and near race car driving experience that ticks all the boxes. This and my ex world rally car make such great noises and a great sight on the back roads. Great video guys keep up the good work. 👍
As a F355B owner, I salute you! The 360CS is the only other dream car I would gladly own from Ferrari from that era. The 430 Scud too, however as far as standard Fs go the only other apart from the F355 is the 458 Italia.
Sound quality captured of the engines and exhaust were epic. It's not easy to do since most videos never do the CSL engine sound justice. Great great video!
Guys hats off to you all!! SUCH a good video with 3 of my favourite cars. I was in the audience when JC did the review on the CSL on top gear. When he took it round the track non of us could believe how loud it was! Crazy! Flawless review team SCD with heavenly cars. “Best era” 🤫
The CSL came from an era when BMW were on top of their game, with the bastardisation of turbo BMW like most other manufacturers have moved away from engine craftsmanship to sourcing bolts on blowers for power and outlandish bhp for instant performance, there are real drivers cars. Certainly from the great era of NA engine. Thanks for sharing.
Its one of the most successful designs ever, its crazy what they accomplished with the platform, going head to head with porsche for the hardcore trackday market. Then porsche developed 997, 991 and so on, nissan gtr, mercedes and audi got in the game. But idk if numbers tell the whole story. GT2 and GTR feel number, less fun. This argument could also be made for lotus, few cars provide a physical sensation like that.
out of these 3, I honestly believe the CSL is the best sounding car.. makes me cherish my E46 M3 even more (even though it's not a CSL).. btw, WHAT A MASTERPIECE OF A VIDEO!!
There s been a noticeable quality progression of SCD videos lately. So i wanted to note that. I'd say you up your narration game and might enter the top level guys like Hagerty atm. The choice of 2003 theme, cars pick and cinema are really spot on for the time. Something that really have an actuality and interest. Thank you for your content.
i remember the first CSL i ever saw. it was parked up down a back street. me and this random guy just stopped and stared at it for a while. we didnt know each other but we both had the exact same reaction. we walked round it just pointing out the amazing attention to detail to each other. then we went our separate ways. i own a silver grey regular E46 M3 now. but one day i hope i can get hold of a CSL. its the complete car for me.
Bravo! What a wonderful Christmas present! As a 360CS owner I am partial but all three of these are just mega! It was the good ol days. Great vid! Merry Christmas!
All three are great cars, I've owned a 996 GT3 race car and had a friend with the 360 CS and both were amazing cars. Loved the looks of the CSL but the transmission and brakes were not up to par when I tested two some years back.... but they rectified it all with the GTS.
I love my 996.1 for the very reasons said in this video. It's simple, its exciting and its from the bygone era when I fell in love with cars. Beautifully filmed, btw. Well done, camera crew.
Well you saved the best until last, gents - unquestionably my fave video of 2021, not just from you guys I mean it's No.1 of all the content I've seen this year on TH-cam Will be watching this one a few times more. Just epic!
Why thank you! It was a big shoot for us, multiple days and a team of 7. Loved every minute though and even more so when you get comments like yours 🙌🙌
In november 13the I've encountered a BMW M3 CSL e46 on the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands and also a Porsche GT3. But the BMW M3 CSL was so fast I wasn't able to keep up with my trackbuild Audi A4 B5 1.8i 20vt. Great video! Thanks you guys for taking us back in time!
They're different really and I like them all. If I had to choose though, I'd take the Beemer CSL...a truly special machine contrived from the humble 3-Series....
I have Olaf Manthey’s old 996.1 GT3 Club Sport and I also have an E46 M3. Notice a pattern here? 😀 Great video with some lovely camera work. Impressed by the CS noise. Well done, guys!
@@kunalmore5212 Well, not really. The GT3 RS was made because Porsche needed to homologate an upgrade to the race car. So the GT3 RS was going to be made anyway.
Cars like these, and videos like these which are a swan song to them just make me shed a tear. You know, that tear you shed because of being overwhelmed with passion
Thanks for the awesome video, back in the day there was no HD 4k video quality and epic sound recording, simply epic, i turn up the volume every time the CSL comes on 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thanks guys
Living on a main driving road into Wales which attracts a lot of supercars, I can always recognise a 360 CS coming up the valley, from a half mile away. Such a distinctive and fantastic noise.
3 great cars from a time that produced some fantastic drivers cars. I would pick the GT3rs though I'm a bit biased having owned a Gen 1 996 GT3 Club Sport for many years. Mine had a Manthey K400 upgrade which included a re-map & exhaust resulting in close to 400bhp and a fantastic soundtrack thanks to the M&M exhaust (stock GT3's sound too quiet imo). The GT3rs officially produced 375 but most put out north of 400bhp on a dyno. Love both the 360CS & M3CSL but a shame neither of these came with a manual option as personally not a fan of early paddle shift gearboxes.
Holy hell, I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel! Great video that speaks to my heart. Has it really been 18+ years since the Top Gear episodes on the M3 CSL and 360CS vs 996 GT3 aired?
I've had 3 E46 M3's, including 2 comp cars (1 SMG, 1 Manual). All awesome, wish I'd held on to them all now. SMG gets a much harder reputation than it deservers, coming from a manual enthusiast, SMG is almost more fun when you are on it. E46 M3 best car I've ever owned (coming from B7 RS4, B5 RS4, C6 Z06, Numerous STI's, Mustangs, E36 M3, VW GTI's, R's etc)
This video piece is insane! Such high quality videography and post editing. Let’s not even start about the quality of the cars. Loved it guys! Merry Christmas! Thanks for uploading these amazing videos on your channel. Big fan!
For who ever wants a proper car , not a laptop , this is the period to look for:sound,chasis,engineering. After this everything exploded in terms of horsepower which is not always a good recipe for our today modern infrastructure and nowhere to exploit the whole engine output. Cheers for this drivers channel!
Thanks for the ...... rememberence? Absolutely wonderful cars. I'm sure everyone has their favorites. All good stuff. And the filming of this video was fantastic!
360 CS sounds so Epic and Legendary that when video shows some acceleration without any commentary and CC are on it suddenly you read ‘[applause]’ on screen (not jocking).
Thanks. I still remember when C&D reviewed the 360 CS, 996 GT3, & Ford GT back in 2003 and thinking we had reached peak sports car. The 360CS was and still is my favorite.
Just a bloody outstanding video Matt, Jonty and Miles. Effing awesome cars, cinematography and sound track! I can still feel my balls humming. Keep up the great work for us petrol heads. Bravo 👏🏼
That was a brilliant video. Loved the transitions between the cars. Roads looked pretty good too. Made me feel old though; I remember watch the CSL review on TG at uni. It must have kit a real impression because I bloody love them snd of that three it’s the one that I’d want to own. That induction noise is worth it alone. Crazy to think that at the time people didn’t get them or the concept of paying more for less.
I can't count the times the hair raised on my neck and arms watching this. These three and this era.... Toss out the stopwatch and drive. Perfection. Well, if the CSL was a manual ;)
Cracking video guys - what an amazing era - late 90s early 2000s. Pure, engaging, and analogue, but with all the modern reliability, comfort and safety I could wish for.
The quality of this video is insane! Were you guys able to snap a couple photos of all three cars together would love to have a nice desktop pic with these three legends.
Been lucky enough to own a CSL, God that car was such a machine ! Want to own a 360CS in the future just for experiencing that pureness of a drivers car
Magnificent. 3 of the greatest driver's cars ever made - Well, if not they must be up there somewhere! As epic as the Ferrari and GT3 are, it's still the CSL that provokes the most emotion for me. 👌
Honestly the 360 CS already looked great when new but has aged so gracefully. It may be one of the best sports car shapes ever made. What a gorgeous car. I want one. If I have to pick a nit (aside from the gearbox) it would be 360s had very simple headlamp design (like a Corvette C6 almost) which maybe looks a bit cheap. But really splitting hairs.
@@supercar.driver personally I can relate SO much to what this video is about… I have a f90 m5 and a e36 m3. I’ll let you guess which ones on the road daily lol… as you said in the video. They just don’t make them like this anymore 😔😔😔😔
Dammit, you near brought a tear to my eye with your closing statements at the end there.. Progress eh? Not so sure about that when viewed through this lens.. Anyway, cheers for the great vid
3 utterly epic cars in this triple test! But which one for you? GT3 RS, 360 CS, or M3 CSL? 👇
As a M3 CSL owner, the induction noise truely is intoxicating 😍
Awesome video..well done guys 👍
996! But come on, there is no wrong choice here!
360 CS. And I'm German.
Gotta be the 360 challenge. If only it were a proper manual 😭
I've been lucky enough to own both the 996 GT3RS and the 360 Challenge Stradale. I still have and enjoy my GT3RS immensely. Superb review of all cars.
The fact a CSL can be included with a GT3 and 360CS shows BMW knew what they were doing back in the late 90s to early 2000s. An era that is truly missed!
Definitely not a car to overlook! Deserves its place in this trio 🙌
100%, sadly now a M4 GTS can't hold a candle to a 488 Pista nor a 991 RS
They already had it down with the e36
Riding the trough downwards on price but still producing visceral, gutteral, bestial imputs you'd have to include the 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra which-with simple bolt-ons- produced 500 bhp without protest from an iron block, supercharged 4.6 L DOHC V8 mated to an unbreakable tremec 6 spd manual.

Excellent comparo as usual SCD !!!
I think M3 CSL was the one that inspired people from Porsche to roll out 911 GT3s' in the first place.
That M3 CSL has a timeless design like no other car of that year! The intake noise, the interior. For me the dreamcar of my whole life.
It is very special!
I own an E446 M3 with a carbon hood and trunk, a few mods (full bolt ons), titanium exhaust and I love it so much. I think I'll go for a drive right now!
It looks athletic in a way no bimmer has since
For me the E92 had the best intake noise.
@@fredriksvard2603peak M3 for sure
The E46 M3 and CSL variant have aged extremely well. They look outstanding on the road next to new cars!
Haven’t they just? CSL in particular
I think the BMW looks better than other
6:23 this moment!!! Perfect video.
The GT3RS every day. I was lucky enough to own a 2003 996 GT2 (yes, GT2, not GT3) for a few years, and that thing was a weapon.

Peak of cars yes. There were other good models during this period too (as they point out in the video).
The sheer quality and content of this video, made this Christmas pretty darn special. Great work guys 💯💯
Thanks! The hype was real ❤️ three cars were very passionate about. Merry Christmas
I too was thankful for this one!
Great video! Filming was awesome and the sound quality inside the cars was great. And I’ve filmed enough in cars to know that’s not an easy thing to do.
Kind of you to say so T! Hope you’re well
How’s that 2RS?
@@supercar.driver I’m fine thanks. Car is great, continuing to do more mods. I’ll come back to SCD when I’m in the UK more. Miss the meets.

Sound quality captured of the engines and exhaust were epic. It's not easy to do since most videos never do the CSL engine sound justice. Great great video!
Thanks! We put an microphone in the engine bay for that! Right next to the carbon airbox 😍
These Vehicles were literally Super Hero's amongst cars, now they are Icons! Driving experiences that car makers till this day try to copy!

🙌🙌
Yes its an incredible car, it has to be experienced. But then porsche came out with the 997 rs... at a different price point of course
I am in love with the sound of the Stradale🥰. Amazing!
It’s incredible isn’t it?!
I was born in'05 but the noise of those atmospheric engines makes me want to go back in time. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Definitely the best period of drivers cars 🙌🙌
@@supercar.driver Exactly,the hard edged normally aspirated induction bark is sorely missed with turbos.Must be mega back then.

The Challenge Stradale. It's my favourite car though. The video was fantastic, great job!
Good choice!
Holy hell, I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel! Great video that speaks to my heart. Has it really been 18+ years since the Top Gear episodes on the M3 CSL and 360CS vs 996 GT3 aired?
Welcome 👋 and yes it has! Do you feel old now? Lol
LOVE all these cars. I remember reading the hype and the road tests of these cars in Autocar and EVO.
🙌🙌🙌
I've had 3 E46 M3's, including 2 comp cars (1 SMG, 1 Manual). All awesome, wish I'd held on to them all now. SMG gets a much harder reputation than it deservers, coming from a manual enthusiast, SMG is almost more fun when you are on it.

Old is gold. Both in these cars and in us folks who appreciate them!

Made me feel old though; I remember watch the CSL review on TG at uni. It must have kit a real impression because I bloody love them snd of that three it’s the one that I’d want to own. That induction noise is worth it alone. Crazy to think that at the time people didn’t get them or the concept of paying more for less.
Remember the CSL review on TG too, on the Isle of Man. Good memories. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌
For me, the M3 CSL is a perfect compromise of driving pleasure ❤️
Its a no compromise track animal :)
I can't count the times the hair raised on my neck and arms watching this. These three and this era.... Toss out the stopwatch and drive. Perfection. Well, if the CSL was a manual ;)
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Great Christmas gift your video!
Glad you think so 🙌
Cracking video guys - what an amazing era - late 90s early 2000s. Pure, engaging, and analogue, but with all the modern reliability, comfort and safety I could wish for.
Well said 🙌🙌🙌
Every film (not video anymore) you create is a Masterpiece!!!!! Bravo 👏
Absolutely love it , please continue!!!!!
No plans to stop doing what we do, just no more than once a month at this rate 🙌 merry Christmas
The quality of this video is insane! Were you guys able to snap a couple photos of all three cars together would love to have a nice desktop pic with these three legends.
Been lucky enough to own a CSL, God that car was such a machine ! Want to own a 360CS in the future just for experiencing that pureness of a drivers car
Magnificent. 3 of the greatest driver's cars ever made - Well, if not they must be up there somewhere!
As epic as the Ferrari and GT3 are, it's still the CSL that provokes the most emotion for me. 👌
CSL is so special!!
Honestly the 360 CS already looked great when new but has aged so gracefully. It may be one of the best sports car shapes ever made. What a gorgeous car. I want one. If I have to pick a nit (aside from the gearbox) it would be 360s had very simple headlamp design (like a Corvette C6 almost) which maybe looks a bit cheap. But really splitting hairs.
Just a fantastic fantastic video 😍😍😍😍 perfectly put together!!!!
Thank you so much!!
@@supercar.driver personally I can relate SO much to what this video is about… I have a f90 m5 and a e36 m3. I’ll let you guess which ones on the road daily lol… as you said in the video. They just don’t make them like this anymore 😔😔😔😔
Dammit, you near brought a tear to my eye with your closing statements at the end there..
Progress eh? Not so sure about that when viewed through this lens..
Anyway, cheers for the great vid
Thanks for watching
What a fantastic video. The shots were just incredible. Don't get me started on those cars (drool)
Haha thank you!
