Sadly not from new, I have had mine for nearly 12 months now and still :smt055 it!!

I believe BMW strugled to shift the last few units and so were selling brand new pre-registered ones for as little as £45k back in 05 - bugger, if only I had known about how good these cars were back then I would have snapped one up!! :thumbs:

What made you want the csl ?

[cslgirl]

Saw it first on Top Gear and loved the look of it and the noise. Looked into it more and also loved that there werent too many around. To me, it looks tough and ticked all the right boxes. Its practical but extremely fast - can go on holiday in it (as I have), go shopping with it and also as fast as a ferrari 360 in a straight line and on cups corners as fast as anything.

They were out of my price range when they first came out - saw one in a Maidstone showroom in Coxheath and it took my breath away when I saw it in the flesh.

Waited until the prices came down a bit more and then bought one. I wont be selling the csl and will be keeping it. There is nothing else out there to replace it for me.

The only other car that does it for me is a Lamborghini Murcielago in Lime Green but I would need a lottery win for that!! :hahaha:

Ours has only done 7800 miles, had the brake fluid & coolant service done last weekend @ Taplow & was approached by the salesmen that sold us it he said that Chris Rea was interested in buying it to replace his CS. It is not for sale was the answer. :birdman:

Good call Gurbinder, not much kudos these days in the Chris Rea name but I guess your car may have been available for at least one test drive if the prospective buyer was Halle Berry or such like?? :thumbs:

what? a salesman name dropping, what a fanny! What did he hope to achieve by saying anybody other than 'someone' was interested. :smt071
I think car sales people come just higher up the evolutionary scale than insuranse sales people and even they are below slugs.

Whats worse is that if mr rea is buying at this range he's probably skint again and will probably come out with some more dreadful musak to recharge his coffers.

As said in my post above he is buying to replace his CS, the sales chap who we have bought most our bm's from said he used to own one before & sold it. i asked the chap what cars he already had & the reply was 'the collection is extensive'.

I'll just get my coat then!
