Owned a CSL. No words to describe it. From Lambos to Porsches (owned both) to anything, nothing compares to a CSL - perfect blend of everything. GT3 comes mighty close but the CSL is king 👑
E46 M3 SMGII owner here. Just for clarification, SMGII is fantastic for going insanely fast on track. It shifts faster than you, never miss shifts, and you get to focus more on driving. Yeah, daily pleasure driving is better on manual, but CSL is not meant for daily drive enjoyment. It was purpose built to go a hell fast around track.
Couldn't agree more. Although I'm more than happy to use my 2004 E46 M3 SMG on a hilly windy country road. Once you know how to use it, what a joy. Not going to track it now because it's too precious.
Great car. Owned one around 5 years ago and got back into one recently when I filmed with the new M2 CS and as pleasantly surprised at how good it was.
as someone who converted my e46 m3 to a manual, i would never do that to this car. this thing is an absolute icon, it stays bone stock or atleast mods that can be easily reverted.
I had and drove MANY sport versions of mercedeses, Porsches, Alfa Romeos, Audis etc., all great cars in their own way but the E46 M3 is UNBEATABLE gives me the most smiles per gallon by a mile and this video proves it. Currently driving a E46 M3 conv, put the top down on a curvy canyon road in mountainous Colorado and the reverberation of the exhaust note is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
Bru, that was extremely over the top crazy good🙊😆👍🏼My brother! Iconic indeed👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Loved the video boet! Thank you and again thank you. Music to the ears indeed🎵🎶🎶
What a fantastic car is the CSL and all the M3 E46, doesn't matter the color or if it's manual or SMG, those cars are legends! Especially the GTR! Hope to see a review from you about the GTR, my actual dream car!
Great you also showing other cars on your channel showing us the awesome variety of cars as it all comes down to us... the petrolheads. Thank you for this.
Why tf do you have all super/hyper cars atleast leave like 3 spots for a muscle that’s blown with slicks/big turbo jdm legend build/ or like a rally car.
I'm writing my idea of this conversation without practical experience, but in the creative light, I imagine it went something like this: "She was built to be gently whipped, buuut I've seen your movies." Owner hands you the keys in the form of a ball gag and the gas tank is on E.
The exhaust tone isn't as high pitched as th original one which, for me, it's 👌🏽💕 Buh great classic machine! Some consider that car th best M3 of all time
All car journalists lately have all been praising the new BMW M3 Comp (with huge grille) Those who can afford: buy gentlemen - we need to see those cars in our streets

If you don’t mind me asking why did you sell?

Will forever be my dream car, sheer beauty
I hope your dream comes true
Same here, I’d buy it over a lambo

M3 E46 CSL? That is indeed a rare breed. Couple that to manual gearbox conversion, and I don't care about newer M3. This is still THE KING.
Finally, someone that hasn't fallen for BMW's "modern marketing" nonsense, you sire, are a true god among men knowing what you know.

@@AC-wl7veVery true for this car. This is part of what makes it special.
E46 M3 CSL , E60 M5 , E92 M3 Competition , E30 M3 Evo 3 , E82 135i , Bmw 1M , E39 M5 , BMW M4
The best BMW's of all time.
You miss the m2 cs
@@gijsvandertuin7297 literally just a baby M4
Mhm Id add normal E30’s there too
Utter utter symphony, my soul has been fed, perfect video. Can tell you had the best time ever. Rightfully so

Insanely jealous !!!!😊
Great video. Excellent to see someone using the SMG transmission properly.
Definitely best M3 and best induction noise of pretty much any car
The CSL that's a name of a legend. The question is : is it possible for BMW to re-produce this beauty for lovers. Why not.. Why
I had a 330xi 2001 dark blue like this, it had a nice suspension drop on it but bro I dream to have a E46 again ! M3 would be dream 😍
The best bmw ever made :) 😍
Nope
NFS Most Wanted BMW M3 GTR
SMG 😍 in the fastest mode just amasing. Should have been tried.
Still a killer car all these years later just love it, what a machine!!!😯☝️😜😛✌️🇬🇧AZZY 🤪
Yes, the answer is Yes. Glad to see you back in SA!

"Take care of the car. Be gentle" Proceeds to hoon it around corners and winds it out to redline. lol
Very genuine expression! Well done. I get the same grin every time I drive my e46 M3. 👍👍
The 4 pipe....... Still the best there's nothing like it👌
Actually, yes there is something like it, but not from BMW - try the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio.
Great you also showing other cars on your channel showing us the awesome variety of cars as it all comes down to us... the petrolheads. Thank you for this.
What a timeless machine? Iconic beast 😍😍
Joy joy it was what you make me feel. BMW is a part of us South Africans.
Coool CSL, one my dream car, would be awesome to test drive that, also cool video, thanks for sharing with us
E46 m3 and csl top 10 cars built on my list of all time. The only non super hyper car on my list
Why tf do you have all super/hyper cars atleast leave like 3 spots for a muscle that’s blown with slicks/big turbo jdm legend build/ or like a rally car.
truly a timeless masterpiece
What a brilliant car! The E46 M3 and air cooled 911s remain in the rarified air of true driver’s cars.
Will go down as One of the finest driver’s cars ever made....... anyone care to disagree??!???
Yup the 2017 Altima makes this thing look like a joke lol… you should see how my altima moves. Had a Skyline gtt aswell, so much faster than the m3.
What a sound
This car reminds me of my Dad's E46 sedan 😭😭😭🇿🇦
it surely isnt that lol
Love your videos, Bijon. Keep em comin!
thx Glenn! ;-)
The Ultimate Driving Machine!
Love it 🤘🏻
Please, never use that intro music ever again. Other than that great car
I liked it
@@fx1446 me too
This is the most ❤iconic bmw ever made
Magnificent !
What a beautiful car! Cool Video, thanks! 🙏

What an honest video! Great review.
Never knew about it. But u got me interested in it. It pretty cool👍👍
Whats the colour of this car? Is this carbonblack or sapphireblack? It looks pretty good
That is a killer car, fantastic example!
IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN FIND THE FIRST NOVITEC CAR IN SOUTH AFRICA ??
One of the few beemers that got my attention.
My dream car.. Manual.
Awesome video Bijon. Dream Car. Mense maak oop asseblief 😄
Thx De Wet!
Perfekt 👍👍❤
The most Beauty of Bmw M3 E46❤️CSL COUPE
Is this car which came with a warning letter from BMW? I think I remember Jeremy Clarkson saying that.
Yes, Clarkson did mentioned that when he reviewed this car on Top Gear. The warning mentioned that the slick tires won't work well in wet conditions.
Nice car - nice flick!
One word: Befok! 🤤👌🏻🇿🇦
Review the m3 e92 frozen
One of the best sounding bmw ever eiishh
Can you do a ZCP / CSL comparison video? :D
It’s got a tune and straight pipe ..just need a MT conversion now :)
Hi maybe a daft question do you own novitec or do you just work there.
The only car l genuinely desire to own. That induction noise!
I dream this beauty comes to Assetto Corsa one day.
I want everyone to imagine this sound but with straight cut gears as well 🤤🤤🤤🤤
❤
Nice man
Pure joy
Old bimmers provides a right size of rims unlike the newer models of M2's & 3's larger rims
best m driver car ever made
Just imagine the reaction if you drove in S6 😆
Lol right? Dudes cumming in s3 😂😂
I’m watching ads 2 times for thank you 🤝
Thats my kinda dream bmw
THE BEST
Don't know which one to pick between E30 325i and this E46😭😭😭😭
YEEESSSSS MY BROER !!!
Hahaha, Lekker
Beast!!
Pretty crazy what you can do when money is no limit.
My favourite bmw car
My dream car
Yea
Looks like the South African heat is causing the C pillar fabric to peel on this poor CSL. It's an easy replacement, though.
The exhaust tone isn't as high pitched as th original one which, for me, it's 👌🏽💕
Buh great classic machine! Some consider that car th best M3 of all time
All car journalists lately have all been praising the new BMW M3 Comp (with huge grille)
Those who can afford: buy gentlemen - we need to see those cars in our streets
If you have ever opened a e46 door up before you would know that slaming the the door shut like that is not a good idea xD
will always be my dream car which is difficult to realize, there are only 2 units here... and the owner will definitely never sell it...
Please, this is my favourite car. I want it badly.
Am need of that car 🙆🏿♂️❤️
The sound has been ruined by that exhaust :(
ooo induction sound....mmmm :D
The exhaust ruined a bit the unique CSL sound. Can't hear the induction roar any more just the exhaust.
treu
i need this car in my life
Its bmw m3 csl and it is absolute best!!!!
Одна з 3х найкращих бмв👏
...TANTI SALUTI🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
This whole time he was driving it in S3 mode...my guy..turn off DSC and bump it up to S6 mode on the SMG!
Bombastic super
The music in your video is terrible...Otherwise, a great review.
We are pretty fantastic
Ive got e46 m3 manual phoenix yellow and if i get rich oneday will bring it to ypu guys for some mad shit
This is the car that makes all the hype and oveerating of the E30 M3 feel and sound wooden..
The exhaust system was definitely a downgrade for the car! Sounds much better with stock exhaust.
欲しい〜♪
Wait till you drive a manual e46 m3
47 of 65...wow
First comment :) 😍😍
This is the baby Csl from BMW
The E46 M3 Csl is the seed From the God father of the M sport division at BMW
