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.
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.
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.
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
This is the last M3 that made sense to me - right exterior look and size, right amount of power. Too bad BMW decided to make them bigger, heavier, more powerful and ugly.

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 !!!!😊
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
Definitely best M3 and best induction noise of pretty much any car
Great video. Excellent to see someone using the SMG transmission properly.
SMG 😍 in the fastest mode just amasing. Should have been tried.
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
Yes, the answer is Yes. Glad to see you back in SA!
Still a killer car all these years later just love it, what a machine!!!😯☝️😜😛✌️🇬🇧AZZY 🤪
What a timeless machine? Iconic beast 😍😍
truly a timeless masterpiece
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🎵🎶🎶
Joy joy it was what you make me feel. BMW is a part of us South Africans.
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.
Love it 🤘🏻

Coool CSL, one my dream car, would be awesome to test drive that, also cool video, thanks for sharing with us
Love your videos, Bijon. Keep em comin!
thx Glenn! ;-)
The Ultimate Driving Machine!
What an honest video! Great review.
What a beautiful car! Cool Video, thanks! 🙏
Magnificent !
What a sound
What a brilliant car! The E46 M3 and air cooled 911s remain in the rarified air of true driver’s cars.
"Take care of the car. Be gentle" Proceeds to hoon it around corners and winds it out to redline. lol
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.
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.
This car reminds me of my Dad's E46 sedan 😭😭😭🇿🇦
it surely isnt that lol
That is a killer car, fantastic example!
This is the most ❤iconic bmw ever made
Perfekt 👍👍❤
Never knew about it. But u got me interested in it. It pretty cool👍👍
Nice car - nice flick!
❤
Nice man
Pure joy
One of the few beemers that got my attention.
One of the best sounding bmw ever eiishh

The most Beauty of Bmw M3 E46❤️CSL COUPE
Awesome video Bijon. Dream Car. Mense maak oop asseblief 😄
Thx De Wet!
Please, never use that intro music ever again. Other than that great car
I liked it
@@fx1446 me too
The only car l genuinely desire to own. That induction noise!
One word: Befok! 🤤👌🏻🇿🇦
Thats my kinda dream bmw
It’s got a tune and straight pipe ..just need a MT conversion now :)
I want everyone to imagine this sound but with straight cut gears as well 🤤🤤🤤🤤
best m driver car ever made
Old bimmers provides a right size of rims unlike the newer models of M2's & 3's larger rims
I’m watching ads 2 times for thank you 🤝
Yea
I dream this beauty comes to Assetto Corsa one day.
Whats the colour of this car? Is this carbonblack or sapphireblack? It looks pretty good
My favourite bmw car
Can you do a ZCP / CSL comparison video? :D
Review the m3 e92 frozen
My dream car
Beast!!
YEEESSSSS MY BROER !!!
Hahaha, Lekker
Am need of that car 🙆🏿♂️❤️
IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN FIND THE FIRST NOVITEC CAR IN SOUTH AFRICA ??
Pretty crazy what you can do when money is no limit.
Please, this is my favourite car. I want it badly.
i need this car in my life
Hi maybe a daft question do you own novitec or do you just work there.
Looks like the South African heat is causing the C pillar fabric to peel on this poor CSL. It's an easy replacement, though.
Just imagine the reaction if you drove in S6 😆
Lol right? Dudes cumming in s3 😂😂
ooo induction sound....mmmm :D
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...
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.
THE BEST
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
Its bmw m3 csl and it is absolute best!!!!
...TANTI SALUTI🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
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
We are pretty fantastic
Don't know which one to pick between E30 325i and this E46😭😭😭😭
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!
Одна з 3х найкращих бмв👏
Bombastic super
The sound has been ruined by that exhaust :(
The exhaust system was definitely a downgrade for the car! Sounds much better with stock exhaust.
欲しい〜♪
The music in your video is terrible...Otherwise, a great review.
This is the car that makes all the hype and oveerating of the E30 M3 feel and sound wooden..
47 of 65...wow
The exhaust ruined a bit the unique CSL sound. Can't hear the induction roar any more just the exhaust.
treu
Ive got e46 m3 manual phoenix yellow and if i get rich oneday will bring it to ypu guys for some mad shit
Wait till you drive a manual e46 m3
the Unicorn
This is the last M3 that made sense to me - right exterior look and size, right amount of power. Too bad BMW decided to make them bigger, heavier, more powerful and ugly.
Proper investment Kar
