Hello From A Non-CSL M3

[Haitham]

Hello everyone,

My name is Haitham. I own an Alpine White on Imola Red M3, I loved the CSL ever since I saw the official release photos of it, and I believed it's one of BMW's best modern creations ever!

Searching for CSL related content got me to this forum where I hit the jackpot. Exclusive place as the CSL, friendly people, and lots of CSLs. if only there was an official register for all the CSLs! I'd love to own a CSL one day, but unfortunately there isn't more than 10 CSLs in the whole of the middle east, only one in the UAE!

I'd like to share a photo of my M3 as well, the one I have on the BMW M Registry. I will take more photos of her as soon as I detail her.

welcome Haitham

your M3 looks like a pristine example and true to the brand - ie not many aftermarlet mods which is nice to see

hope you enjoy it here :thumbs:

Welcome Haitham
We welcome all M3 CSL fans as well.
not just owners :thumbs:

[Haitham]

Thank you mates for the compliments! I'm not intending to follow the rest of the herd getting CSL parts to the point where the CSL becomes less of what it is, I'm leaving her stock with just an Alcantara headliner, and all weather mats, probably CSL rotors in the future and SS brake lines.

salaam alaikum Haitham,welcome to madness, how would you like to own the second CSL in the UAE? a bargain at US$ 250,000 :thumbs:... i will take an offer on that price mate !!:hahaha: nice car, will drop in for coffee if I find myself out there again !

[Haitham]

Alaikom Al Salam Duncan, man you're asking premium hehe!

You know, this loner CSL was on the market a few months back and the guy asked $60,000 for it, reduced the price to low 50s and a guy I know jumped on it but the owner changed his mind!

Welcome Haitham,

Do you have any more pictures of this car. I'm refurbing my alloys soon and I'm looking for alternatives to the standard finish.

Thanks

Welcome, your e46 looks very nice, love AW.

Non-CSL M3's are made welcome by the lucky CSL owners ;)

$50,000 for the only CSL in UAE, thats a bargain! Infact you can only just get them over here for that! :D

That's Steve Gill's CSL... its a bit more hardcore now mind.

A bargain in terms of value, but $50K is a lot of $$.

Welcome Haitham. Nice AW M3. The best colour.:thumbs:

When you consider they change hands in Germany for 40k-50k Euro, $50k for the only one in UAE is cheap!

Thank you Alex. Well when you see it from that perspective it's a bargain, in fact the guy i know did consider it a bargain and sold his modified E46 M3 to buy that but the guy backed out!

Craig:

If I had the funds for a CSL, I would do the same; reinforce the subframe, coilovers, and strip the hell out of it! I'm not the hardcore petrolhead though, I just love cars for their beauty.
