I'm probably one of the greatest E46 fanatics on earth... owned several E46 and also the biggest E46 forum in the german speaking area....
The E46 M3 CSL is an absolut icon and truly legendary car. It is the reason for my deep love to BMW and I cannot remember having more fun driving a car other than the E46 M3 CSL. It's so absolutely precise, light, fast AND it had all the drama one could ever need.
My decision was between a used E46 M3 CSL and the M2 Competition. For me the M2 Competition is the modern reincarnation of the E46 M3, same size, same proportions, very similar style, and all of todays bells and whistle's a DRIVERS CAR needs.
For the sake of daily drivability and not buying an E46 for the third time I took the M2C and don't regret it for a single second.
But i'm still deeply in love with the E46 M3 CSL...
