M3 CSL Driving up the Col de la Bonette

M3 CSL on-board camera
PS: Thanks to the truck driver. :)

[@swallowtailnerd1986]

I used to watch this video all the time, used to help me dream about having my own E46 M3 and then 6.5 years ago I got one. Doesn't compare to the CSL but thank you for helping me imagine my goals.

[@richardharrold9736]

The S54 is, along with the M88 and the TVR Speed Six, one of the greatest high-revving straight-sixes ever made. The sheer rawness and the way it barks when you dig into the throttle... it's like a Gibson ES-335 playing through a big Marshall stack, the attack of the valves when you pick harder... such a raw, textural, gritty, angry noise!

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

Please listen to Honda NSX Type R NA2 ,although its v6 the sound is equally or maybe better

[@IRISHFELLA2010]

Nice little sneaky take over at 5:10

[@renelarsen6748]

Nice one! And don't we just hate bikers thinking they are sooo fast - when they're actually not!

[@st33fie]

Wow you are a man with balls of steel i wouldnt dire to drive like that on a mountain pass gr8 driving

[@bugattieb110ss]

Wanker bikers getting in the way. If i'd have been on my bike being followed i'd have let him through much earlier.

[@RobyHP]

Wow I've driven that road myself enjoying every single bend two years ago, and was fantastic with my little previous car, you did it (a lot) faster driving very well, and the noise of the CSL is something favolous! Compliments! I hope to return there this summer...hoping without caravans...I don't have the needed power at that altitude! xD

[@chevronist]

That was great! I went up there a couple of years ago and MY video through the windscreen was 37 minutes! It was in a 2CV though!

[@isMaex]

Great fun to drive with you! The Col de la Bonette will next year in june be a part of our trip through the alps - also with a black CSL.

[@petrolheid]

Fantastic. What a road! What a car!

[@ActionMacaque]

Best. Sound. Ever.

[@livedeliciously]

This looks like an amazing drive. Even better you get to do it in an E46 M3.

[@4272005]

Nice move getting past those bikes

[@JayMaverick]

As a wankel driver, I am now collecting pieces of my lower jawline off the floor. The rawness of this six is insane!

[@edwinsmart9890]

hehehehe

[@Awesomeman1987]

OMG, that was SO AWESOME!!!

[@maximilianlindner]

You DSC lamp was freakingly worn after this track for sure ;)

[@Devastationable]

sick driving bro

[@noelydovetail]

AMAZING

[@Levente20]

truck drive ftw :D congratulations for your car man, i wanna have one too

[@bmwalpina4628]

thanks for upload!

[@Nixxomatic]

Dobra vožnja. Všeč mi je ker voziš s pametjo in ne greš v nepotrebne rizike. Keep em coming. :-D

[@Stiggy37]

Great ride man!

[@bemmerman100]

2 words....CSL Airbox!

[@northernjimbo]

I enjoyed that mr pandaforce

[@CarClown]

Cool!

[@plug007]

did i miss what the truck driver did? nice vid!

[@Spy0nu]

good driver

[@therionman52]

Zeznut Slovenac... Pozdrav! :)

[@4272005]

It is not exhaust. The sound is induction roar from the CSL's carbon fibre airbox

[@PandaForceOne]

@MrC8880 The motor and the exhaust are completly stock, brakes and the suspension are not.

[@kingjohas]

Nice ride, loved to watch your vid. I did ride the Bonette a few times with a bike. Can’t understand why the two bikers didn’t let you pass, what where they trying to proof?

[@olivermaier8675]

hello, when you was driving col de bonette: i just wanted to ask what you are thinking about the trip from geneva to nizza. are the streets good enough for cars everywhere? i ask because i will drive this route this summer... thx for your answer :) your CSL is awesome!

[@simonwilliams88]

Thats the standard CSL induction ;)

[@ikobeeeeeeee9]

E46 M3 is the Best

[@Jeyjeyrx8]

C'était ironique !!! ;-)

[@Ausc42]

Damn, what a noise, what a car! Was TC on or has this car just such a good grip?

[@digi051669]

have you removed the airbox flap? I think I need to remove mine after listening to yours. Lovely video!!!

[@Turbine74]

Geile Strecke ... geiles auto geiler sound Und die biker nerven.. Ich würde gerne mal wissen was der in diesen 10 min. verbraucht hat ;-)

[@JzAeroo]

Best CSL video ever. BEST! Love it ! Automotive porn man!

[@MrC8880]

Is that the standard CSL exhaust? If so, then WOW.

[@davidbinks8092]

truck driver beat you ;)

[@wlh227]

Just wondering what were the tires/tyres you were using?

[@XXXmoeszyslackXXX]

nice track, nice car but always these slow driving bikers... thanks god for the truck driver;)

[@ActionMacaque]

How did you memorise the track so well? Or were you using a navigation device?

[@Jeyjeyrx8]

Putain de motard toujours au milieu !!!!!

[@GhostRider_237]

If there were such roads I would drive bmw

[@DJzSith]

Fucking Caravans everywhere!

[@frankenscience3553]

did you mount it to the windscreen using suction cup? if not how? mine made shaking image when i tried.

[@Reidlenger]

Stupid comment. Fast bikes are hard to overtake. And guess who was first on the summit? Yes man, the slim bikes overtook the BMW and the camper right after the video stopped. :-)

[@PandaForceOne]

@topmop2 Sony Handycam HDR-CX155E with wide-angle lens.

[@juniormorfin]

About what was the average speed that you were driving through here

[@SwissMarksman]

8:02 warum das Lichterhupen vom Citroen fahrer? :-

[@Reidlenger]

Was heißt "die Biker nerven"? Waren halt zu schnell, um sie zu überholen. :-) Auf dem Gipfel waren sie wieder vorn, weil der breite BMW halt nicht am Wohnmobil vorbei gekommen ist. Tja, Pech.

[@geepee1952]

What time of year was this?

[@knotsable]

@Nightscreener The suicide biker isnt really expecting a rally driver on a public road

[@jazzabwfc]

quality road, quality driving . the biker was an arse though, should have moved over

[@Levente20]

@Nightscreener LOLLL XDDDD

[@frankenscience3553]

were the windows down?

[@GEOSIMRACING]

DSC on or off?

[@TheRetroLab]

On it. lol

[@TimZ750]

Good job you didn't meet yourself coming the other way.

[@romeocrossfire1977]

sexy sound

[@Reidlenger]

Ah bon, il faut respecter que c'est dûre depasser des motards vites avèc une voiture lente! :-)

[@e36s50b30]

There is nothing worse than bikers!

[@Gonken88]

nice road, but that csl sounds tired as fuck.

[@CrstB]

Those two bikers were realy annoying....

[@tmezan]

skyline ?:))

[@black13800]

C'est très imprudent du faire ca ici, chaque année plusieurs personnes meurt à cause des personnes comme vous dans ce col.

[@Mymieke]

What was even more annoying was the tailgating of the 2 bikers. But the drive was pretty sweet.
