Not over the winter. The wife will be driving it too with our nipper. I may get another set of wheels for the summer with the proper cups. The CSL wheels are actually cheaper than the std M3 ones - CSL wheels aren't mag as people believe.

Correct Dave and its a 53.

UNfortunately the dealer made a faux pas and had it originally up for Ł32995, however they soon realised their mistake

Mine has got the aircon which does add a bit to the weight, but with the black carbon roof I bet it gets hot in there and the nipper would fry THere are very few that actually didn't have the optional bits added.

Mine does have the radio/cd too.

Power is around 360 i believe and it's allegedly good for 180+ when unrestricted.

It's 360PS, which is around 355bhp .

Awesome car, get rid of the flap for the air intake and Gareth can do you some 380mm AP discs and brackets to fit the standard callipers on .

You don't need to touch the suspension on the CSL - it can lap the Ring in 7.50 as standard .
