A late Introduction

[select]

Hello Guys, my name is Julian, i am from Germany and i am 26 years old.

After roughly 1 1/2 years of reading everything related to the e46 m3 and the csl – while annoying the shit out of my friends with my newly acquired knowledge :hahaha: – i fulfilled my dream and bought myself an CSL.
Luckily i bought it already 1 year ago, before the prices went absurd.
What a car :smt055


Sent it to a local m-specialist couple weeks ago and had the bearings replaced aswell as all the fluids and filters exchanged.
Next i'll tackle the rear axle and then its fit for the next couple years.:supz:


Since this category is called 'photo gallery', here are a couple of pictures i took at dusk.

Hi Julian

Welcome to the register, I can't help but notice your car is White - Paint or Wrap? ;)

[select]

Thanks for having me neil,

The Car has been painted Alpine White by the previous Owner.
I wouldn't have done it but at least it was done properly by a BMW dealership and everything was painted (engine bay etc)

But i have to say i love the contrast between the carbon bits and the color:smt055

Welcome along Julian. The white CSL is different but I like it - enjoy

you're not the first white CSL on the forum

BillyBoysM3 ran a white wrapped SG CSL for a few years before going back to oem colour.

Love the contrast between the carbon and the alpine white.

I saw a blue CSL @ the nurburgring a couple of years back, it had a carbon insert inside the fox hole on the front bumper.

Would look good on yours. :thumbs:

Welcome to the Forum Julian.

Would love to see some more photos, particularly of the engine bay mate.

Cheers,
Barry

Well i would've been surprised if i were the first to have a white csl.

Regarding the fox hole :hahaha: carbon insert, never seen that before. Do you have by any chance some pictures of it somewhere?

:hahaha: None taken mate as it's not the "some snaps" comment I mind, as they are just that "Happy iPhone snaps" :thumbs:
it's the fact you doubted me having these snaps ;) me being the "Pix Whore Supreme" that I am :supz:

[select]

Thanks for the pics matt..

Interesting.. never seen that before but i think it looks a bit weird.
Not my thing to be honest.


As requested, i took a pic of the engine bay today. After i gave her a wash ;)

No problem J :beer:
I think it looks weird because it's a Frozen Estoril Blue wrap over an SB CSL.

[Chappers]

Very interesting, I wonder what that does to the value?

[select]

Well, if it had been sprayed from the factory it surely would mean an increase in value.. in my case hower, i dont know.
Well i'll find it out when i am going to sell it in 50 years...when im not able to get out of the car anymore :hahaha:
