Just got my CSL! - Page 2

No, it was the Standard Polished 19's that the car come with, and most taking the CSL style wheel and Cup Tyre combo as it was part of that whole CSL 'thing'.

I wasn't going to mention how much that must have cost you over there in Denmark, I know car tax is stupid over there.

Aren't the wheels off an old 7 series?

I think these wheels are off a very early E46 SPORT (1999-2000) vintage prior to the first E46 mild facelift in 2001 ... Sad I know

Welcome to the nut house mate,

Thank you for the welcome!

I've no idea where the wheels are from actually. The seller used them for track days and had recently sold his original 19's with the cup sports on to a regular M3 owner. We have quite a few "normal" E46 M3's driving around in Copenhagen, and some owners will apparently pay to "lend" the CSL VIN-number. The guy I bought it from told me this. When I ordered the original 19's in Germany they required that I give the last 5 characters in my VIN to validate that it was a CSL before I could place the order. I like the design of the 19's a lot more and will definitely get those on there as soon as they arrive next week.

About the tax, I bought the car without tax (notice the paper license plates?). I'm only gonna drive it during the summer - if you can call it that in our part of the world? So by doing that I lease the license plates for 6 months at a time and then keep the car garaged during the winter without license plates on. It's _much_ cheaper that way since normal Danish car tax is 180% of the car's value. This way I'm only paying tax for the months I use it for driving.

It needs a retrim. The previous owner did race it a bit with gloves on. I suspect that's the issue.
