New Member, and soon to be new owner!

Hi guys,

Ive just sold my E46 M3 in favor of a winter run about, but next year i am looking at getting a CSL/E92 M3. I have been to BMW and tried the E92 and loved it, but now that I'm going to have a spare winter run about, I'm now thinking the CSL is a much more viable purchase.

Is there any CSL owners in Scotland that would be willing to have a chat about their owner ship and let me have a look at their car (an more importantly hear it), to better ascertain the options I will want when I come to buy.

I have seen a few CSLs local to me (Perth) but never in a situation where I had time for a chat.

If you do have one and are happy to meet up send me a PM or email me.

Cheers

Welcome to the register 'gingernuts'
There are a couple of CSL owners North of the border: Mark CSL, need4speed, Derek, Figas, Bryce to name a few.

No doubt they will post when they see your thread.

Tends to be a bit of a 'SB' (Sapphire Black) area up there, must be the climate

You are welcome to have a look round my CSL i live near Livingston
but Derek+ lives in Perth and i am sure he would let you have a look around his CSL

Thanks Mark, much appreciated.

Ill wait and see if he pops up! I don't want to pester anybody! I think it must have been him I saw at Grassicks BMW perth, is his SB?

**Mark CSL** · 16-12-2012, 04:51 PM

That's his local dealer i was up there last sunday but at McD'S then over to creif to walk the dog

gingernuts · 16-12-2012, 04:57 PM

Yeah, my M3 is going in there to have the subframe checked before its off to its new owner. Ive not found them very helpful to be honest, MINI were great with the Mrs car, but on several occasions I've expressed interest in a new M3 and they haven't even bothered to take my details or so much as given me a brochure. So i ended up going to Edinburgh by Broxburn and they were cracking help.

I used to live in Crieff, and my parents live between Crieff and Perth so know the area well. Lovely part of the world.

I use eastern BMW in newbridge they work on my car all the time
Its local to me

Yes Creif is great and the roads are great for a Blast in the CSL we went up the Knock Hill then went to comrie and back over to braco we seen 3 red kites on the run over the moors

Welcome Gingernuts

could have been me at Grassicks as they look after my SB car too. I am just south of Perth in Auchterarder so drop me a PM if you need/want a run out before making your decision.

Cheers,
Grant

The Langside road over the moor between Comrie and Braco is an absolute belter!

There are some crackin roads about there. The road off the A9 after the Tibbermore cut off has a 2-3 mile straight which is my daily route to my unit where I work on my race car when I'm back from work.

Its a fairly good place to stretch the legs on an M3 without the chance of any plod!

The Sma' Glen and the road between dunkeld and Caputh are also favourites, along with the road between Pitlochry and Kirkmichael.
