thanks for all the kind comments guys! I'm slowly making my way to the CSL bits and pieces over time. I'm trying to get my hands on all OEM pieces. It's a pretty penny for all of them, but it will be worth it. There are a lot of rep's out there where I've seen some horror stories with fitment, so I'm going to penny up and get the real deal.
Thanks for the link tyco. I've actually check that site out before. Got some good stuff, but I'm going to really try to stick to OEM. Also that green CSL you posted, that's the Loaded CSL. The thing is DIRTY! It's an OEM e46 CSL e46 M3 supercharged putting out crazy numbers. It sounds so sick. There are a few videos of it on youtube. Search Loaded CSL m3.

Q50 Red Sport 400 RWD
Just now seeing this thread. Congrats, that looks really nice!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun and let's meet somewhere and umm race.........on a track of course
I know w/ my z06 that if you went with the all dark interior it was less than sexy. With the modred (its what they call it
), its so much more appealing.
btw, I still have my G. I'm adding some hankook v12 with the 225/40 size up front and 255/35 rears. I'm taking the HKS off and putting the stock muffler back and leaving the cpe mp on. This should make the car more cushy/comfortable/quiet for dd. Eventually, I will give the car to my wife and drive her suv as a dd. But I will still borrow the G here and there
. The G only has 57k mi and logs 5k mi per year
take care.

I hear you on the interior. Black looks nice always, but I wanted something different that stands out. Plus walking up to the car and seeing the cinnamon interior through the windshield makes me smile everytime. I have added quite a few mods to the M since these pics, but I'm not posting anything until I get it the way I want it. But I got to say, it's looking pretty badass at the moment.
Nice! the v12's are a great tire and with the more beefier sidewalls, you'll get a bit more cushion, especially if the misses is going to drive it. Before I sold mine, I had took the HKS off and sold it while leaving the coupe middy on. It sounded good. Had a bit more rumble to it, but still could tell it was a bit different than stock. I would have loved to keep my g as a DD, but it was almost at 65k and I hardly drove the thing the last few months. I have a truck I use for a DD and for bad weather. We got so much snow the past week that the M won't be taken out of the garage for a while. Sucks because all I want to do is go for a drive, but I can't haha.
Thanks for the kind words Jim! Keep enjoying that z. Take care.

Thanks man. I will be sure to keep you in mind. Spent way too much on the new mods last month so I will be waiting a bit until I pick anything new up. I'll Let you know! Thanks for the heads up.
