Interesting that it's had some paint. I wasn't aware it had been for sale for a while either.

Still, I'm not up to anything else tomorrow, so no harm in trotting down for a look.

hi folks

have been thinking about a csl for a while and went to see the one at xtreme in stourbridge today. i've a question about the handling - its got kw suspension fitted, on the test drive when accelerating in second out of roundabouts the rear of the car seemed to be squirming about a bit. i know from speaking to other owners that standard suspension bushes could cause this if worn but should it happen if they still have life left in them? is it normal for csl as though been out in a couple today was my first time driving one?
is it going to be exaggerated because of the lower stiffer kw susp.?
doesn't feel like that in my standard e46m3

cheers

The springs may be too hard, they can be changed, Daz has just done his and he said it has transformed the car

Well, I'm not one to f**k about...

Put a deposit on the AUC CSL at Eastern today

It's higher miles but you'd never know it; the car is as tight as a drum with ner a rattle to be heard anywhere. I certainly couldn't say that about my old GT3 which had half the miles and was a year newer. It's not perfect; as SJA commented last month, there is some wear and tear to the steering wheel and some of the trim; slight chipping to the splitter and there's a tiny dent on the nearside rear quarter. Nevertheless, the drive was superb and I was smitten the second I hit 'Sport' and gave it everything in second.

Oh, and that noise!

So, subject to a few conditions - namely a full inspection report and invoices for all the work its had recently - it should be mine next week
