[Wadula]

hah ultimate lurker, you got me wrong....totally. the smiley was supposed to show that it was fun. i mean, i have no problem with you guys on the board you are always welcome for constructive talk and a good time.

 

[BMWdude]

Yep them smileys, get them confused every time

 

[Wadula]

i'm sure we get that one striaght this time!

 

[UltimateLurker]

It's all good, everyone seems nice enough, as long as the propper amount of respect is given.

Don't worry, one day I'll be a regular on this board, just as soon as I get my hands on a pristine '95 E36 M3 CSL, then we can fight over whether or I should modify such a beast...hehe.

Thanks for repeating what I said, christobal.

So, mrferg, did you miss my post, or are you ignoring me? We need some BMW guys at our Ann Arbor meets.

 

[mrferg]

Whoa what, I must have missed something. I might consider it, but don't count on drag racing me.

[???1] sorry, but there were only two cars that carry the name CSL. the one is way older than 95 while the recent one is not even available in the US. what's up with your M# CSL plan? or do you mean a self-built CSL?

 

[UltimateLurker]

Forgive me if I'm confused, but didn't BMW make a special edition M3 in '95 called the CSL (Coupe Sport Light)? If I'm correct, only 85 made it to the U.S.

 

[Wadula]

not as far as i know. maybe there was some special edition made, but CSL??? i'll google for it and let's see what it turns out.

 

[frolf]

that particular model was called the LTW, the new M3 lightweight will be called the CSL

 

[Wadula]

i just found it too. it is right, the 95 series ghad a special series, the LTW. according to several sources i found they did build 125 cars from it. aluminum doors, different seats and several other parts made the car about 200lbs lighter than a regular M3. engine modifications were not done.

See, I may be a n00b here, but I'm not so confused after all, all I got was the name wrong...lol.

UltimateLurker, welcome aboard and nice ride...she looks very well maintained. You should post some pictures to our gallery section.

well, reading through the articles, i found one that said the car had a label inside somewhere that reads "...M3 US CSL..."
technically you did not even mess up the name.

Thanks Tom, this site is beautiful, it reminds me of my S2K site, clean and fast. I may put some pix in the gallery, I didn't want to offend (you know, bringin' a lesser car [honest]), but I was quite proud of the dyno #'s I put up today; 210 HP/278 Torque! And yes, she's only got 52K on her clock, she's a screamer .

Thanks Wadula, I just found the same thing with a quick Google search. Is that Bela Lugosi in your Avatar?

Anti - M website...wtf?!

In general, people like to hate the best at anything.

[???1]

 

[Wadula]

yep that is him! good eyes friend

less or more is always in the eye of the beholder. everyone has its reasons to love or dislike certain things and that makes the world go rund.
i just wonder how all you guys come up from so fast?

You have any pics of burnouts or anything? Those are usually pretty cool pics

When i get a car and need a new set of tires, I'm letting the old tires go out with a scream...literally.

 

[Wadula]

on the van? now that would be cool!!!!
