Hello from a Newbie!

[JohnH79]

Hello everybody, I'm John from Southampton and I'm new on here!!

I came on here to speak to CSLMatt and order some brackets for my Porsche Brembo BBK on my car. I have had a little look around the forum and like it, so might hang around if that's ok with you lot. I dont have a CSL, so hope I am forgiven!

I'm not worthy as I only have an E46 M3, not a CSL, but I'd like one if that counts!! I do also have a Honda CBR600RR if there are any fellow bikers here.

Here are a couple of pictures of my baby:



and here is my other baby:




Mods on the car so far are: Angel eyes, LED rears, front Depos, Milltek system, 100 Cell Race cats, Tein Springs, CSL diffuser, tints, CDV Delete, Turner Motorsport RTAB Limiter kit, 3/4 size front number plate, Parrot (non feathered variety).

Mods to follow: Brembo Porsche BBK front and rear, CSL style airbox, CSL cams, remap, new wheels, coilovers, front splitter, CSL bootlid. Lots of CSL bits required!!

Mods to bike: Akrapovic full exhaust system with Carbon 'Hex' can, K&N air filter, HRC inlet trumpets, Power commander, Ignition commander, Ohlins steering damper, tail tidy, different front/rear indicators, blue screen, Rev/shift lights, rear seat cowel.


I've been on the M3cutters website for about a year now (same user name), if any of you guys are on there?

Welcome to the forum mate

With the mods your planning why not sell the M3 as is, put a little cash in the pot and get a CSL?

You wont regret it.

Oh I have a K5 GSXR-600

Thanks Duncan. I'm glad that people are still talking to me now you know I'm not a CSL driver!! I was worried people might look at me like I own a Citreon Saxo and meet up in McD's car park every night!!

I cant believe you allow people who own Fords on here!!!
Saying that, one of my best mates Matt has always been a Die-hard Ford fanatic. He has owned Series 1 and Series 2 RS Turbos, a 3-door Sierra Cosworth and more recently a 400BHP Escort Cosworth that he converted to Rear wheel drive!! He loved this car so much he said he would never sell it and be buried in it! Knowing how much he loves his Fords, this was totally believable!! When I picked up my E46 M3, I let Matt have a drive. A couple of weeks later he had sold his Escort (for much less than it was worth) and brought an M3!!! That says a lot for M3's!!

Unfortunately Matt copied me a little too much!!!


Same colour, same black leather, same optional extras, same angel eyes, rear LEDS, same Miltek Exhaust!!! It's great that he liked my car so much, he had to get one. It's just a shame it had to be identical! Now if we ever drive round together, we look like a bunch of gays!!

Oh dear oh dear

Don't let Duncan scare you, although that probably is a true story - he is a registered sex pest

Welcome, although you sound like you are already in denial - I joined here when I got my M3, searching for CSL bit's as I wanted to make it like a CSL. Now I'm picking up my CSL this week and glad I didn't waste thousands trying to make mine look, sound, and go like a CSL because I never would have been happy!

Just save, and if you can't save then get a loan

I gave up saving... it only takes a ride in a CSL to man up and ditch the standard M3.

Oh crapola! Did I join the GayCSL register by mistake???!!
