hello all, just picked up my first CSL yesterday evening.
Car supplied by Munich Legends, 53 plate and 36k miles. Built Nov 2003. Aircon, Xenons, PDC and Business CD. Previous car was '05 M3 Coupe, just had to have the CSL and so far it seems like it's on another planet. Really quite a special piece of machinery. This is also my first taste of SMG, it's pretty intuitive but will need some practice to always get things smooth. So far, being harsher and more positive with the changes seems to do the job. Obviously you all know more than me about these machines so perhaps you don't mind answering a few dumb questions : 1) Oil level check - long-term reading said 0.4L, so I add 0.45 litres or thereabouts and now instant reading says 1l, but long-term still reads 0.4l. Bit confused by this. My old M3 used no oil - can I expect the same with the CSL assuming always warned up properly etc ? 2) tyre pressures - manual suggests 33-35 front, 35 rear (non-lightweight wheels on mine), I have set to 34/35 but feels a bit too sprightly - what would people recommend ? 3) will it always bleep when started if seatbelt not on ? 4) I'm assuming the odd clonk from the transmission is normal. 5) do you all run yours on Tesco 99 or VPower ? I tend to swear by Shell. |
