Whoever said sarcasm was the lowest form of wit?

for the first 2 years of ownership my CSL only stayed outside on my driveway but after a while i noticed somebody kept showering the front with stones as i slept - resulting in loads of stone chips mainly on the front bumper and bonnet, so i decided to clear out the garage and keep her under cover

Welcome! Nice car but the wrong colour

[sailorbaz]

Agree with above ^^^ wrong colour! You'll get that on here, load of banter between the owners of the 2 different coloured cars...but the black ones are slower, so you won't need AP's! ;-)

No fog lights as the advert suggests BTW. Just in case!

Don't know anything about car covers, particularly outdoor ones so can't help there, sorry.

I have to say though, great price! For present owners that is.

Welcome ! Buy SG and get hold of Anis's in the for sale section. Has the mileage you are looking for and recent brake upgrade !

WRT insurance, Admiral was best for me when my car was standard, now Competition Car Insurance is the best as my car is modified and is tracked.

You can get a BMW indoor and outdoor cover for the M3/M3 CSL.

Same route for me on insurance

Yes can confirm Anis's car is mint and well worth the money he is asking for and it's in the RIGHT colour

I will give admiral a call and look out a cover. What do you think about this one

How necessary are the AP breaks for nornal road use?

I have even found a CSL plate. Woo Hoo.

Cheers

Welcome Will.

I've recently joined the ranks of CSL ownership too. I looked at a few on the internet and called about the one you have posted a link to also. You're right, it does look nice, but I think it's worth bearing in mind that it's had five previous owners. Now I know these type of cars change hands a lot (my old GT3 had five owners), but for the price they're asking (and they wouldn't budge with me), I think there are potentially better cars out there. Perhaps this is why it's been for sale for such a long time.

Also, don't get too hung up about mileage. I decided to go for the comfort of having a BMW AUC car with a two year warranty and opted for this little beauty: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1736340.htm Despite its advancing miles it's still as tight as a drum and drives absolutely superb.

It also lives outside next to the daily whip; so far it hasn't dissolved yet

Hmmm

Thanks again. I was orignally not put off by five previous owners. I was going to have a full BMW inspection from a guy I know through Xtreme Motor sports (they sold my NXS) at a cost of £250 plus fuel. Then, subject to inspection was going to offer £27,500. It is a standard car but has Armour fend on it, new standard breaks and four new tyres, new MOT, but no tax. I am not in a hurry, so what do you guys think?

Get it or not.

Will

PS Black ones clearly much faster.......

[newbie]

ok you win!!

I have bought Anis' car. He says hi!

I will have to join you guys for a meet up. Nothing in the callendar section that is pub lunch related. Any one fancy a summer pub lunch?

Good buy

DON'T
put a car cover on, any bits will scratch the paint work when putting in place and removing
