Don't do any that drastic
I have the cure for you!
Rev the engine up far beyond 4000 RPM before upshifting. Cheers.

The only thing that made the CSL less practical was it's suspension, mighty stiff I recall. |

Hmm from what I have been reading for the past couple days.. The M3 gets boring after about one full year? Even at a specific shop i went to they are getting rid of their show car because they are over it.

Anyway, despite this, other examples of rear-seat removal in production cars exist. For example the Porsche GT3 or Nissan GTR Spec V. Granted those might not have been as practical four seaters as the M3 to begin with. But you get my point. Or check out the new M5 CSL. Ok, so that's a one-off, but it just shows BMW is not against these measures when absolute best performance is paramount. Quote:

It was just that in my opinion to lose the rear seat to gain very little extra performance was a step too far. That was all. |

I don't knopw about you and others, but my M3 is anything but boring after 16 months of ownership. Puts a smile on my face each time I am driving arround town or in the track. I even find excuses (to myself) to go out for a ride!

Loved the car, loved the gear box as well. Im very tall so most of my anger is how much smaller the Z feels. I no longer fit. And my 2006 went through 2 engines because of oil consumption.
