Went in Gareth Lloyds M3 CSL when at the ring.
car was awesome, seats etc are so comfy and the whole interior just looks and feels so much better than the standard M3's
And Paul, do what Gareth has done, remove the flap in the airbox, it sounds unreal
But nice car, happy for you

Thanks chaps
Phil - that was the deal. We move to a bigger house, closer to the inlaws and I can get whatever car I can afford Now that Sam's at home looking after the nipper, I'm paying for it all anyway so there's not a lot of choice in the matter

With the flap installed - Noise wise you're better off using SPORT ON (sharper throttle) because it causes the flap to open fully earlier in the rev range (~3500rpm), rather than later with SPORT OFF (~6500rpm).
If you drive with SPORT ON and take the flap out, then you don't really have much of a noise gain over when it's installed and opening at 3500rpm.
