Owner is a really cool guy. He's parting out and selling. All good cars go to heaven...

Wow, awesome pics... Does that intake manifold / CAI device come from the factory?

IIRC, it's a carbon fibre intake from the M3 CSL (as are the seats).

[JashiK]

[royroy]

too bad the owner is selling his car =/

[SL3VIN]

[Cardinal Fang]

Unbelievable quality in those pictures. Pictures 1 and 2 are my alternating background display.

[Sean80]

gorgeous car, great photos.... but there is no clutch :(

[SL3VIN]

yeah tiptronic :( other then that this car would of been perfect lol

[Xerox]

yeah tiptronic :( other then that this car would of been perfect lol

I wouldn't go as far as calling it tiptronic!

It has a SMG (sequential manual gearbox). Basically a clutchless manual.
I believe it has a hydrolic clutch that auto engages. The car even rolls back if it's on a hill until you step on the throttle.

Tiptronic is an automatic tranny with selectable gears.

13.3 @ 106.8 vs. 13.6/13.4 @ 106/107 (auto/manual)

[Pereira11]

i think those are Neez wheels, amazing car, perfect mods. i have the same steering wheel in mine definately an amazing upgrade to the car. just needs the CSL carbon fibre roof and it would be complete

[Unoriginalusername]

how much for the car? just curious, not interested lol

[Xerox]

Well...I don't know the detailed specs on the SMG but the owner mentioned during the photoshoot that the SMG is pretty slow if you compare it to technology today like the DSG or the MCT of his new SL63 AMG (whoooaaaaa!)

At least with the SMG it'll be consistent shifts.

[///M]

John - your rig is awesome. We should go for a shoot sometime.

[chinsterr]

I want an E46 M3 ! :)

[Fobio]

great pics...car looks mint...

just wondering, is the owner's new SL63 that Satin Pearl colour?!
