We said we wouldn't do this - Modifying our M3 CSL - Evolve Tune + Storm Motorwerks Billet Parts

[@codewithAyii]

Great video! Bilal is a genius engineer. Mashallah. Hearing about how he founded his company after making a part for his own car & sharing it is inspiring.

[@razerone49]

I ran a stainless shift nob on one of my cars years ago and NEVER AGAIN. In the summer they get so hot they’ll burn your hand if the cars been parked in the sun for more than 15 mins. I used to put a Crown Royal velvet bag over it when I parked to block the sun before I realized that it’s a terrible material for this purpose. Never again

[@bestbesto1345]

Honestly, yes, they are nice touches added to a car Really nice thing 💯

[@Mark-th1gn]

Oh wow the paddle flippers can be changed without removing the steering wheel, might order those...

[@therealmudafuka7200]

Mashallah guys, this car is just so special

[@prisoner345]

Had no idea Bilal is behind Storm! Have both the Eventuri intake and tune and the Storm gear knob in my car. Definitely gonna be purchasing the rest of the machined parts soon. Thanks from Sydney! Also I see that driver side weatherstripping hanging off, have reglued it 3 times now in my ownership.

[@adammoonface]

Nice to see the old E46 door strip issue isn't just reserved for us peasants😂. I've tried a few ways of sticking mine back. Superglue works fairly well, but does fail eventually. So far, rubber adhesive from a bicycle puncture repair kit seems the best solution.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Bilal has been scheming of how to fix it, but may just replace the trim.

[@richardmesser1091]

Beautiful car, beautiful parts

[@EuroAutoEnthusiast]

This is visually stunning and I’m certain it feels great 👍🏽💯Now again, I need to get another E46 M3 😬

[@usman1alam]

I thought the CSL gearbox was already flashed to be better than the normal e46?? How have you improved it further? I have an e46 m3 with the gearbox flashed to same settings as CSL. could I get your tuning done on mine?

[@rudyaroki1071]

Beautiful csl !!! Greetings from San Diego California!!

[@nycshelbygt500]

Bullet Interior for the BMW E46 M3 CSL. #StormMotorWerks Radioactive paddle shifters markers. HaHa That is Krazy.

[@AC-wl7ve]

storm makes absolutely top notch stuff. i had the paddles for my smg which comepletely transormed the experience and look and now that ive done a manual swap the first thing i did was get a v2 knob. absolutely incredible and the weight really takes out the notchiness of the gearbox.

[@carrier7676]

Great video! All those mods add a great touch to the car! I wish Storm Motorwerks still made the navigation knobs in stainless steel or titanium, those were amazing! Would have loved a set but they've been discontinued 😢. Again, great video!

[@carlosbonilla1637]

Although the interior aluminum bits look great, just wait until you get over 30 degree celsius… you’ll get burned due to how hot these parts will be. Don’t ask me how I know… 😔

[@jim9lakers]

I installed all these Storm Motorwerks parts on my E46. I can confirm they definitely give it a more premium look and feel.

[@omi8822]

You guys own the coolest companies in the world

[@Sbrumtwn]

All nice changes, except i'd leave the handbrake alacantara.

[@richardpardo8827]

I’ve said it before but really great work and love the Storm Motorwerks fellas #differentgravy

[@Enthusiast_Plus]

I remember buy storm motorwerks products 9 years ago

[@waynephilbert]

I will never, ever tire of hearing that engine / induction. It's truly mesmerising, all the way through the rev range. And they're such an experience to drive.

[@CharlesChristena]

Why stainless steel and not aluminum? People don't generally look to add weight to cars. But the pieces look very nice regardless.

[@zkramez]

Damn. love that Apollo 8!

[@dazsolimani2437]

Best m car ever more more content please and get a non csl 46 on your channel please 🙏

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Perhaps in the future

[@RobbieKhan]

Had the Storm billet knob and handbrake handle for many years now and it still looks/feels as good as it did several years ago. Great bit of kit to transform the interior for sure and dare I say it, even performs better than both BMW's OEM knobs which I also bought from the dealer. The weight is heavier (manual box) than the short weighted BMW M knob, and you feel a bit more involved shifting: i.imgur.com/34AH58f.jpg

[@PixelVogue]

I think I had stainless window switches in my E36, not sure if Bilal made them...good ol e36coupe forum days 😃

[@EvolveAutomotive]

A relic of the past! Storm did used to make the window switches.

[@Eventuri]

Yes! Those were a nightmare to make!!

[@richardtrow2751]

Lovely pieces 👌 I've got a storm gear knob on my M135i Lovely weighted bit of kit .

[@naimjacobs2372]

Awesome

[@Andrew4181975]

Those shift paddles with tritium in them are really cool. An E46 M3 CSL would be the dream for me ,but I got something close to it.

[@SlumRacing]

Please keep all stock parts safe!!!

[@lappo2534]

There's a guy in the UK who makes a manual gbox from scratch specifically for the CSL. Reference: Harry's Garage.

[@BryceBrown1]

Making perfect better! 👍 I recently did an xHP transmission flash, night and day! Would this be comparable to the effect your tune has had on the E46 transmission?

[@dazsolimani2437]

Can u do this map on the non csl 46 ? i have the csl map on mine but would this still improve it ??

[@EvolveAutomotive]

We can yes

[@Levente20]

damn i miss my csl. had to sell it. i had a wethje carbon hood on it. and Lightweight Titan backbox. was crazy good

[@GeorgeSmith-kv1ki]

Always great to go over the detail of THE CSL, the sights and sounds. Nice Omega also Bilal :-)

[@almypond05]

Lovely car! Bills makes great stuff, tell him to make the same suite of stuff for the E9x DCT cars! :)

[@maxpower1293]

Those stainless steel parts look really nice. But in summer it will burn you if you car was parked in the sun and in winter you will need to wear gloves if you won't have your hand freeze to them.

[@nijabudeenmohammedn5354]

E46 M3 CSL sounds so good

[@877imy]

Top quality stuff. Shame I missed the e46 boat. Favourite m3 but the rear subframe issue put me off a few years ago. And now they just seen too expensive.

[@Individjual]

Respect to you guys. Your working hard and living your dreams! Blessed indeed!

[@itumeleng8970]

Great content, straight to the point👏

[@shazmaster]

not gonna lie, sounds like the clutch is slipping HARD in the m3!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Is that your expert diagnoses? Can you fix it for us?

[@shazmaster]

@@EvolveAutomotive When sarcasm goes wrong. I said it SOUNDS like it, if it is not then the so called 'expert' would be you educating me on why it isn't but clearly this isn't the case. At approx 11:20 in between shifts it sounds like the smg is slipping the transmission. Is it simply just slowly engaging?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

@@shazmaster I have no idea. Sounds fine to me.

[@basher1285]

The parts do look nice, although the radioactive parts are a little scary ☺️ IMO the CSL should be driven hard and loved muchly! Keep her original and watch the price go to the moon (apart from the HP upgrade and SMG flash of course👌🏽)

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Not radioactive enough to cause any issue 😅 It’s also used in watches to provide luminescence

[@keronsmith8459]

And how much is it the hand break the shifter and the knob

[@sabzor123]

[@E9JMX]

[@anidiotinaracingcar4874]

Why would you install heavier parts in the lightest E46 M3?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Extra mechanical grip for the Nurburgring, obviously

[@Hcarmad]

[@jameskelly4323]

[@sspkt]

unfortunately this trim glue.. same as in 318ci. Anyway, you have to drive E46 to understand its legend.

[@Dmxravin]

What’s the point of having a CSL when you’re going to add weight to it?

[@EvolveAutomotive]

I could take a dump and lose more weight than we've added.

[@paulpalmer8235]

Just a real shame the neoprene backing peels of making the paddles look crap! I changed mine as it was doing my head in- even after changing the neoprene for a fresh set - still happened again!!

[@Eventuri]

[@f1f278]

adding the steel bits added weight to the car and now its slower by 0.004 secs per lap... hehe. can Bilal do brushed steel covers for the red buttons on the seat belts? that would be interesting...

[@davidramez6219]

Where's the CNC'ed radio dial from Storm Motorwerks? I'd love to get my hands on a set of those!

[@aftabmohammed1272]

Excellent video the engine noise is fantastic and even though I’m one for keeping as standard as possible so it will retain its value the improvements you made were tasteful

[@georgekinyera6719]

Very neat!

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Tell me you’ve never driven a CSL properly without telling me.

[@snoopdutt1985]

Why more manufacturers aren't working on getting a better induction sound over adding ever increasing amounts of generally unusable hp baffles me. What a noise!

[@snoopdutt1985]

I've got a N52 130i that did have a BMW Performance Air intake option which are very rare. What other options are there other than K&N to get more induction noise?

[@rw3915]

Here in California on a hot summer day, say 105 Deg F, grabbing onto a stainless steel knob baking in the hot sun would be painful, to say the least. Looks great though! 👍

[@EvolveAutomotive]

Deep winter it’s just as annoying, but you can’t deny how nice they are.

[@bmcguinness4053]

Lovely work. Nice upgrades on the csl. What watch Bilal is wearing? Need to get one of those!

Absolutely not the reason.

[@georgiojreij3965]

[@xarups]

11:25. Thats clutch slip. You guys should seriouly reconsider this tune. Not just for clutch longevity but for overheat of the clutch packs and flywheel.

[@KRBY555]

slur, not slip.

[@EvolveAutomotive]

That is not clutch slip. This tune has been used on CSLs since 2008. There are no issues with longevity. Thank you for your concern though.

[@xarups]

@@KRBY555 slur it is. Thanks for dicerning it.
