The exhaust bracket issue seems to apply to every E46 M3 i've seen and BMW really dropped the ball designing that one. Also check the mirror brackets as these corrode badly.
Coming from your ST I imagine the lack of low down torque might be missed at first but once you get used to the car and its ways this will soon be forgotten, nothing beats a high revving NA engine let alone one that roars like the CSL 
Dont get frustrated by the gearbox as well, once you get used to it and how to change smoothly it is great.
Are there any extras on the car?
welcome to the gang, looking forward to seeing the pics !
Oh and be sure to order some mudflaps  |
Drumming up some business for yourself there Chris ?
Re: bodywork anticorrosion BMW Warranty... any BMW registered from 2004 onwards gets a 12 year warranty. Before that it's only a 6 years anticorrosion Warranty... which unfortunately has already expired
A proper BMW cock up as far as the CSLs are concerned as they were all build in 2003 (July - December)
