This will be like the 8th or 9th special edition M3 that I won't even have a shot at buying. And I'm supposed to be happy about that? Look, everyone likes to see something new come out from time-to-time. But I can't stand it when a company makes a unique product, then tells a certain market >>>> :finger: This has been happening to us here in the United States, since we were denied the chance to purchase the Special Edition EVO 1 E30 M3 in the late 1980's. Sorry if that comes off the wrong way, but I'm tired of getting the short end of the stick here. Hopefully you can understand why I don't exactly feel like doing back flips, over the prospect of having to see history repeat itself...

I have a pretty good idea as to what's about to happen and would like to say what I think is the reason for this but then people would accuse me of being something I'm not.
Anyway, it should be great news for all enthusiasts if it's true. |

Do you know what a (loaded) E9x M3 costs in EU? Did you know a E46 CSL back in 2003 had a pricetag of 120,000 euros here in Holland? That's about 179,000 dollars right now. But no noffence intended, I hope you get what I mean... |

When you consider how cheap BMWs in general are in the US compared to Europe I would quite happily live with what was given. P.S. Though it's price didn't help the CSL as it did take an awful long time to sell out completely. |

Good point.
In the US, there are plenty of higher performance offerings available, and most people in that market vote with their checkbooks at dealers other than BMW. Obviously, BMW knows this and is OK with it.

You're sticking your neck out. I hope it's worth it for you. I wouldn't want you lose respect for your friend. So, it's an M3 CSL, and of course we won't get it in US ... as usual?

Some of us do remember the shots you provided, that you were one of (if not the) the first //M3 posted up on these boards, including the video drive you posted. There are many of us who appreciate your efforts and look forward to more news from you. Cheers, e46e92

Sub 10 second 1/4 mile? I don't think that is even close to accurate, that is what a veyron does on a good run. Would be pretty cool to see what they can do with KERS though. |

Though I would like to say something here, a little respect and manners costs nothing and though some here might not agree with the way savage.ulm1 has presented this hint/info they should be thankful that it's coming at all. Maybe next time savage.ulm1 will keep what he knows to himself, and I wouldn't blame him.

It's not about if "things" turn out to be true or not...... it's about: don't speak until 1.) you know the facts 2.) you are able to share them. Young girls behave like this "i know a big secret..... but i can't tell."
