Yeah, if i rememeber correctly, it was a fairly easy repair, but he got into motocross, and a transit van. It might even still be sat in his garage!

Any updates OP Just spent an hour or so reading up to here and now wanting some updates!  Brilliant car, I think the E46 is my favourite M3 looks so much better than the other cars you were racing due to the CSL boot spoiler, a small modification but makes a big difference!

Well it's over a year since I sold this beastie, but look what has found it's way onto my drive - another 2001 E46 M3 with 61k miles, but this time with SMG box. Have started stripping her down this weekend - new build thread to follow soon :-)

There is a brand new gen CSL boot, diffuser & carbon roof for sale on the CSL register at the moment.

Looks will be similar although I'm going to make a much bigger effort to get the weight down. The last car as circa 1300kg and my target should be more in the order of 1150kg. The last car had full glass, double skinned roof/ bonnet/ boot, steel doors and heater matrix etc so loosing the weight shouldn't be too hard a task! Hoping that she will go nicely!!
