241 were in UK specification including one pre-production vehicle and one to Ireland.

Approximately 100 were Manual.

I had one. Fantastic car. Sold it for £13k back in 2013. Suspect it might be worth a couple of quid more these days.

It looks like Jethro is still a fan!

A manual CS would be my choice of E46 M3 too, although I prefer my Z4M Coupe that shares some of the CS/CSL bits.

I had one. Great car and the only car I regret selling. Was on collecting cars a couple of years ago, stripped of all the nice parts I had fitted like the performance brakes.

Which CSL parts does the Z4 M come factory fitted with ?
Do they have 14.5 CSL steering rack ?

For a BMW M car the Z4 M are a bit of a bargain along with the Z3 M Roadster right now IMHO.

Yes the Z4M does have the purple-tag steering rack, and CSL front brakes - as I found to my cost last year!

Z4Ms, especially Roadsters, are a bargain at the moment. Surprising really as only 1,206 came to the UK. (614 Roadsters and 592 Coupes).
