CSL Wanted

[jonnysideways]

Sorted :0)

[Mark CSL]

been there and looking on the interweb will not be helping have you tried a 1M ?

[jonnysideways]

I Think good ones are £40K so same issue. I don't have that deep of a pocket, wife, house and pets have to come first for a change. Hence sensible thing is old E46 SMG and a E92 Diesel estate, but I'm finding it hard to come to terms with.

[MisterCorn]

As you say, you could always buy a cheap SMG M3 and build your own replica like this one.

Hummm.:whistle:

I was thinking more like just get a nice colour and throw some csl wheels on, that's a nice car but madness imo.

[cslsuperfan]

Now please don't laugh, but after 6 months out of one (53 Plate 114k SB), of course I want another, but now I have the same issues everyone on here has, buying and selling the same cars, as the market ebbs and flows.

My Mrs would kill me if I was even thinking about another one, let alone posting on here.

But such is life, I have a small pot of money, and as usual its not quite enough yet, but if there are still any high mileage unloved csls, about to need tyres, a service, exhaust etc, ready to move on and get the money spoon fed back into them, let me know.

;)

I need saving before I buy a RS4 or a Z3M Coupe !!!!!!! Ive even been so sad I have been looking at old E36's......

Cheers

Just purchased one of those myself, 330d Msport Touring, 138k, 56 plate.. Mint for the year and miles £6k !

Just had it re-mapped and its an epic Q car.

Keeping the miles off the C63 too.

Who did your CSL go too in the end?

[glendog74]

Lol, love these 'I miss the CSL' posts :banghead:

E92 M3 can be had for reasonable money now :whistle: :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

Nice mate - good buy :thumbs:

My missus just upgraded from a E46 330ci to a E90 335i vert, 306 bhp and 295 ft/lbs of torques :) and a 7 speed DCT transmission :smt055 certainly quick, next best thing to an M3 ?

[jonnysideways]

Thanks Guys. Something to ponder.

Mine went to a guy on here, who has since sold again. New owner was in touch actually last week.

Was pondering a 335 estate for me and the dogs.... more pondering me thinks.

Cheers

Whoops.... I slipped.....

And accidentally fell into anther CSL. :hahaha:

Some TLC required, but thats where I find the enjoyment.

Yup, yup and I guess yup.

From my perspective, It made sense to get rid at xmas for financial reasons, but oddly it didn't make financial sense to buy another one, but here I find myself.

Cars are an emotive thing, and after 6 months away I released how much I missed the overall experience of the CSL, let alone just looking at her on the drive.

The V8 was an epic car, but ended up that the only special thing it did was be Yellow! So once that wore off, it was like so, now what??

Welcome back Jonny

[Marv968]

You didn't hang about!

Welcome back to CSL ownership!

[jonnysideways]

Had to do it quick before my wife stole the money ;0) well its our money, so technically not steeling, but you know what I mean. :hahaha:

Thanks, its good to be back. I had the last one for 2 1/2 years, longest recently that I've owned one, and didn't realise how much I missed it, until after starting my next car" search came across a E46 wearing a CSL spoiler and wheels, and thought "Cr*p" I want one again....

So thought best not mess about too much as the way the prices were going I they were soon to be out of my reach.

[jonnysideways]

Welcome back Jonny
Cheers mate.

Good shout. "Many thanks" I'd been looking a PH's but missed that.

So excited to have one, sg too that forgot my manners:whistle:

Yes feels good. Forgot how noisy they were compared to the modern v8 :smt023:

[jonnysideways]

My old SB was 115k sold Dec 2015 and this one cost me more @ 117k so not seeing that benefit lol.

John, you wont lose a cent on this car.

[nw99]

Prices sideways or off a fraction before resuming upwards I think

[jonnysideways]

For me prices are a by product of the car. as I if want smoothing, I generally have to buy it regardless of cost, assuming of course I can afford it. ;)

[nw99]

CSL is that sort of car agreed !

[jonnysideways]

If only I'd kept a couple of my old Mark one and Mark 2 escorts, now I'd be laughing
