Time has come to sell my CSL, I had planned to keep it forever but I'm now looking to upgrade to a Porsche GT car.

The car has been known to the forum for over ten years with four years in my ownership and seven in Jamie's. Jamie lived in London and I've always put it off the road for winter so the underside is in great condition. Combine this with the fact I've had every bush / bearing changed makes it a very solid car.


I've advertised it at £37,499 or nearest offer


Below is a link to my Pistonheads advert:

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/csl/m3-csl/8818266

================================================== =

For sale is my 2003 M3 CSL that has been meticulously maintained. I have cherished the car for the past 4 years having purchased it off a fellow CSL Register member who owned it for the 7 years previous.

Key Points:

Mileage – 86,000 miles
No. of previous owners – 5
HPI clear with no outstanding finance
Car was MOT’d on 04/06/18 with no advisories

Factory Options:

Radio BMW business
Automatic air conditioning

Additional Options:

Aux input for Radio BMW business
Front AP Racing brake kit with PFC discs and Pagid pads.

Full BMW Service History:

1455 miles / 22.04.04 / Running-in check / BMW Premier Cars
12275 miles / 15.06.05 / Oil Service / BMW Premier Cars
26786 miles / 23.05.06 / Inspection 1 / BMW Premier Cars
39409 miles / 26.09.07 / Oil Service / BMW Barons
50085 miles / 13.11.08 / Inspection 2 / BMW Cooper

*Battery replaced during Inspection 2

Within the last 2000 miles I had the following parts replaced:

Genuine CSL Camber arms
Front wishbones
Engine mounts
Gearbox mounts
Propshaft guibo
Subframe mounts
Differential mounts
FCAB bushes
RTAB bushes
Spring perch bushes
Rear suspension upper bushes
Exhaust hangers
New nuts and bolts used throughout

Condition:

The car has been recently detailed so boasts a near immaculate paint condition barring age related stone chips.

The interior is very tidy with no rips or excessive wear on the bolsters. Some of the soft plastics are marked but nothing too obvious.

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Still for sale although I currently don't have any active for sale ads. PM me if you're interested and I can send you pictures direct.

At £37,499 I believe this is the cheapest CSL on the market.

Thanks

Small correction required...

At £37,499 I believe this is the second* cheapest CSL on the market.

*Cheapest being Shimmy's :beer:

Price reduced to £37,499.

This is the cheapest on the market and one of the best maintained with full service history. Struggling to see why it's not sold :smt102

Mine went towards the end of last year. It was for sale for a good 6 months but when the right buyer came along that was it.

People seem to be very dilligent when buying CSL's at the moment, willing to travel further to look at options etc.

I've seen a few come and go although I'm not sure if they've sold or the advert has just expired.

I think my location (Glasgow) is putting people off. The people who I considered genuine stated it was a long way to travel. I personally will travel for the right car and have bought my last 3 cars from London, including this one.

I suppose I just need to wait on the right buyer who will realise the money that's been spent on this car over and above other similar priced cars makes it a great buy.

I've had two people come view the car and unsurprisingly two real offers. One was slightly too low and I'm still in discussion with the other.

I've also had the ridiculous "cash" offers and a few dealers who should really be quite embarrassed at the rude / abrupt way they conducted their emails / calls.

Should be hitting silly season soon where everybody wants a summer toy so stick to your guns and I'm sure it will shift.

Hi
My first post on here, I'm a good friend of MC.
I wondered if a px might be of interest?
I have a very late 2006 E46 M3 manual coupé in carbon black with Imola. It's a lovely straight unmodified example.
Feel free to pm me for more details if this is of any interest. If not, no worries

Sorry I have just seen this. I would prefer a straight sale but send me the details and I'll have a think. Thanks

I’ve just bought one from ML

With hindsight I think I paid a bit too much however I bought it because of their reputation.

Ironically it needs a bit of work doing to it as well :whistle:

Seem to remember car had been there for a while, I’m surprised any issues hadn’t been sorted before they let you have it , don’t they pride themselves as a premier m car dealers,:whistle: hope they not major issues. :banghead:

What were the issues?

All the major issues have been sorted or checked on my car so makes it a great buy IMO, especially at the new price :thumbs:

Personally, I’d ask for this 15 month old ad to be deleted and start a fresh one.

Cheap car.
