Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
better imho than a regular 996, especially if used everyday.
Leading evidence: 'Use everyday' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use everyday' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Dare i ask the question here. I'm looking to trade my every day car which is an E46 M3 and have the chance to go for a facelift 996c2, 28k on clock , nice options, really nice car. OR a 2004 M3 CSL with 6k on the clock ( yes thats 6k ) . both mint and similar money
Now ,, I'm a Porsche nut... as you see cayenne and 2 911's , but i really like the M3 for every day use, over here in Ireland its discrete ( its just a 3 series), porsches are still quite rare by comparison to the U.K.
any views.... Im in a delema and really cant make my bloody mind up ,
any views
?
Sorry - no input on this one, but having just come back from Ireland (South to North) I can concur: didn't see a single Porsche in the whole visit. [

I'm a Porsche nut through and through but the CSL is the car to have over a std 996 make no mistake.....That is if you are remotely interested in the thrilling side of diving.
A CSL is more comparable to GT3 in which case it would be a tough one.
A CSL is a better palce to put your money if you're looking at residual values too.
You might be thinking that I am no Porsche nut but with a 996 TT, a 964RS and a GT3 RS on order I most certainly am but I have owned a CSL for 4 months now and it is a serious weopon. A superb track car too and sounds glorious.
I understand the negatives to owning a BMW with regards the image thing but don't let that put you off.
good luck
