This makes me believe it is in fact real one albeit repainted in Alpine White and with a different front bumper since everything else seems genuine.

It's got the rear diffuser, CSL wheels, badges, raised trunk spoiler, carbon fiber roof, etc. The only give away is the color, CSLs only came in Carbon Black and Silver Gray, and the bumper here has two air intakes versus only the one right-hand intake for the larger intake on the right-hand side of the engine. So, this is a pretty good replica! You’re right, it’s a replica, it’s a good one with the exception of the front bumper.

I take the blame for that :) I was also torn between the idea of looking at a CSL replica or the original deal... ok, so if it's not a CSL(ignoring the badge on it), could it be just a replica, with CSL parts?

I'm shedding a tear for the aborted E92 M3 CSL.

I commend you for putting up an article for the car (and citing the source!). Unfortunatly that car is NO CSL..... the replica wheels aren't even close. The front bumper should be a dead giveaway for those that are completly blind or lack any knowledge of BMW The E46CSL is by far one of my all time favorite cars.

Front bumper is all wrong, should only be one intake and the lower splitters are carbon fibre IIRC.
