Finally, someone on my wavelength! The CSL sounds amazing, but only from inside the car whilst it's muffled!

I do love them, just a shame they don't burble!

Its amazing how in a day and age of global warming and all this fuss about co2 etc, BMW are bringing out bigger cc engines all the time!

Still, hold hat or not, my 330 is still fun!

Edit: Just realised you weren't talking about 330 engine doh!
