True, but my £5k worth of mods can be taken off and kept for a CSL or sold. Like I said, where I have been buying second hand, I shouldn't lose any money on things like the exhaust, cats, airbox etc.
My brakes needed replacing anyway (discs pads and calipers) so it made total sense to go down the Porsche Brembo BBK route. Again, this can be taken off and sold/fitted to a CSL.

I'm sure I will be happy with the mods fitted. Considering I was happy with the M3 as standard, I am just making small improvements to make it even better!!

At £22k-£32k I am not realistically going to be able to afford a CSL for a long time, unless I win the lottery, get huge promotion, marry a rich old woman etc! So for now, I can just dream! I am kind of lucky I haven't been out in a CSL, as I'm sure then my mind would change instantly!! As far as I know at the minute, my M3 is the best car I could ever own or drive. I'm not going out in a CSL and ruining that!!

And guess what... once you've spent £5k on it, it'll still be worth £10k. So then you have to store all the original parts so you can pay to have the car put back to standard when you sell it.

Alot of hassle and you'll never be happy with it..

Alternativly, you can save up for these modifications, and just keep saving instead of wasting it on 'upgrades' and you'll have enough for a CSL in no time
