Looking very good mate, here's to all your hard work and patience.

Thanks for sharing Matt.

Well its on here for sale but in two minds at the mo.

beautiful car!

may i ask what exhaust is on your csl?

[mattCSLnut]

beautiful car!

may i ask what exhaust is on your csl?

Thank you :smokin: The exhaust is all stock CSL except for the back box which is a stainless steel "SuperSprint" Race light weight (around 12 kg) :supz:
It's a popular choice amongst the CSLR crew as it saves 13 kg in dead weight and sounds superb.
Win Win :beer:

[NZ_M3]

Superb!!!!!!!

[mattCSLnut]

THANX Tom :beer:

I guess supersprint is the way to go.

I kind of want a titanium one though..

THANX mate :beer: and I agree (I have to) ;) with regards to SG being " The Colour" for the CSL :smokin: although I do sometimes wish BMW considered a unique "CSL only" colour finish, something like Frozen Grey or Satin White.
By no means am I trying to upset our SB amigos :smt055 but as far as the commercial visualisation values go the SG shows off it's CSLness (aka all the CF parts) far more clearly than the SB plus the SG colour showcases the handsome E46 M3 shape really well :smokin:
It's no surprise the Advertising guys chose the SG over the SB for all of the promo material like Ad Posters, Brochures, Press Cars, TV Ads, etc...

Didn't realise you had done 91k, car looks so good. It will take me 6-7 years at my average mileage to reach that figure.

Can you remember which colour BMW chose to display in their museum. Faster colour by any chance.

Just think how many upset SG owners there would be if they had used the faster colour for the ring time.

I may contemplate offers over £40K :smokin: considering the exceptional condition DU VAY is in :smt055 especially after the recent refresh ;) along with 15 (A4) pages of Warranty work, impeccable full BMW service history, with our Gareth being DU VAYs main mechanic for the past 6 years :thumbs: and matching engine/chassis numbers.
Dammit :banghead: I'm writing the sales Ad already :bigcry:

[mattCSLnut]

Matt. What if anything will you replace Cesil with?
In my eyes there's nothing out there that comes close to Cecil :smt055 and even if there was there's no point in me getting another toy just to sit idle in the garage.
The only reason I'm seriously considering selling is because I don't get to use it as much as I use to and in my eyes it's such a waste of a great drivers car to be sitting idle, pretending to be a Garage Queen. :banghead: I'd rather someone else with more spare time gets to enjoy it, like I use to.

THANX Ben... however the important question is: do I leave the Supersprin Race light weight goodness On or regretfully revert back to the OEM pee shooters for 100% OEM status (I do have another spare one with New clamps as Billy now has my Original OEM back box) FYI... I don't want to remove the SS noise solutions ;)

Also, if you or other proper CSLR members have a mate contemplation a CSL purchase please let them know of DU VAYs potential availability as there are beer tokens on offer for successful deals :beer:

Matt if you've got the OEM rear trumpets then I would fit them and sell the SS separately.

DUVAY will be 100% OEM. Other than Nw99's museum piece and Figas's 1 owner from new, that's a rare commodity.

Already spreading the word, adhering to the strict guidelines with regard to the quality of potential owners ;).
