As far as I can see its a grey area regarding insurance as we have no clutch pedal. I await my insurance docs to have a read of the T's & C's

Hi Steve

M3 CSL has a Manual Gearbox with an Automated Clutch , so effectively & technically it's an automated manual gearbox, as per Owners Manual (p55) but obviously it can be driven like an AUTO.
I've got a strange feeling it's not officially an AUTO so it's probably best to check with DVLA who are the Licence issuers to avoid any future nonsense with the Bizzies or Insurers.
