MASSIVE U-turn

E46ACS · 07-07-2009, 11:49 AM

After stripping my car of everything bar the BBK (was going to happen this week), and having a fair amount of interest in the purchase of my car, I am now NOT selling it!!!

Drove to Corft yesterday and on the way was thinking how much I love the CSL, and my plan of getting a standard M3 might leave me feeling very dissappointed...... So grabbed a mates M3 at lunchtime to go get petrol, and it immediatly felt very heavy and very slow to repsond, wasn't impressed at all. So grabbed some (wet) track time in the afternoon in my car and BINGO!!!!!!! I am not selling it!

TOTALLY fell in love with again!!!

Some persuassion from s.mac and following a certain S.Gill around for a bit (not for long though, bloody show off in the wet

) also helped. Well done lads, I shall be remaing a CSL owner! And I am very pleased that I am!!!

Awesome! Good news Tim!

I didn't want to say that you'd regret reverting to a 'normal' M3 as you seemed set on doing so. Pleased to hear you are staying in a CSL

Good Lad Tim
You just have to love the CSL for the buzz factor

I was surprised at how different the 'standard' M3 was. It's been over a year since I've driven one, but it felt heavy, sluggish, un-responsive and just 'boring' by comparison. As soon as I drove it I knew I was making a mistake, so am glad I did.

Long live the CSL!!!

I sold my second CSL thinking the M3 was the same car

The M3 lasted all of 5 days then sold
