Ugghhh! that 3 series convertible really is hideous! - I didnt think anyone could chav up a 3 series but I was soooooooo wrong!!

Having 'Ring stickers on a convertible is also pretty stupid - Its like saying I'm a real driver but opted for more weight and maximum jelly wobble effect.

According to the glass maufacturers tho, that is complete bollox I've heard that before and checked it at work, and the same screen for the M3 is supplied for the CSL, as is the rest of it : the door glasses, rear quarters and rear screen....

Replace the glass with cellophane to reduce weight - thats my top tip for the day

Right, so I rang both our local Alpina/BMW dealership, who said it was bollocks, and the glass manufacturing company, who supplies us the dealer glass for high end cars (as 90% of high class motor owners want dealer stamped glass - Merc's, Beemer's, Audi's etc) today who also said it's bollocks aswell.....

The CSL has a different front end with a circular erm...circle which i believe acts as an air intake. Different 19" wheels, the CSL has no foglights, the boot spoiler as mentioned and that's about it.

Carbon fibre roof too and perspex windows to save weight.

Well I think everything has been covered in previous posts, so I will just say that the CSL is awsome and head and shoulders better than a normal M3.
