I have the option 902 what means press-car.
They didn't give a slow one to the press, if you know what i mean.

Ahh the Super Fast pre production, hand finished ones, fettled by BMW PR guys LHD ? or one of the "Bargain Basement" UK RHD imports ?

We should think about kind of book about all the CSL's.

I've had one for my Z1. The book showed every single car, production date, options and what country it was going to.

I like your idea of a CSL book I've been toying with the idea myself for a while. Very time consuming to do it RIGHT but I'm willing to contribute www.mattharvey.net

Thats about right then,being December is the last month BMW built CSLs.,but i have heard of CSL owners phoning BMW about build numbers and codes and getting no where,BMW say the CSL wasn,t numbered and cars were taken on and off the production line which buggerd the vin codes up.
