That isn't true. The M3 Comp isn't a CSL, it's the same as the M3 CS over in Europe.

I'm assuming these cars are non-stock internally, with power/suspension/whatever tarted up a more than the usual.

If that is the case, I have to say I like what I see. Better internals without ridiculous visual work on the outside.

If they are all stock inside, then whatever. Still very nice cars.

The Exige isn't tuned down. It just weighs like 90lbs more.

The cost of building the CSL and certifying it for our shores isn't enough for BMW to turn a profit.
