Just one of those things Darren.
The newer M cars are great smooth and fast BUT you just don't get that signature M Noise. The NA straight six just sums up BMW for me from the CSL going back to the e30 325i Sport
I raced a 235i M VLN car down at Anglesey earlier this year. Great machine and very special but it just didn't rev, took some getting used to with the shift lights coming on 3/4 through the rev range. Being turbocharged that's not how they operate.
My pal / instructor done some laps in it and he also commented that my e46 race car was a much more "racey" car to drive. Now he races professionally for a living so I tend to listen to what he says
I've not even seen my CSL in 4 years as its in private storage.
Other priorities in life took over but its there when for when I want it. I have thoughts of selling every now and then and then remember just how competent and how much fun it is as a standard out the box car.
Now wise up
