Aussie CSL owners?
 

I've just bought a CSL and was wondering if there were any other Australian owners on this site?
I live in Western Australia
cheers

Am Sure your going to love the car, personally I don’t know how many went to Australia, somebody on will know, congratulations on purchase :smt055

Welcome to the mad house enjoy your car :thumbs:

I’ll put money on Smac joining you soon.

Welcome to the Club :supz:

Yes, I also run the Aussie register i.e. where are they now along with the VIN build info. Did you buy Marc's car from Tamworth?

Would they accept him over their, with all the dodgy gear he wears :whistle:

Ha ha I wish.. I’m too old they will only let me in for holidays :bigcry:

Our Tom has only worked on one since moving to BMW Sydney, a very nice low mileage in SG. A CSL number plate, I have a pic somewhere.

I am thinking of looking into sending mine over for Tom, they do really good money over there. I think he would use it though ��

Hi, I don't know what your name is but anyway I bought the car from James in Brisbane. I've had it about a month.
It's done 92K kilometers and it's pretty much perfect.
I had it checked by RX in Brisbane and they gave it a great report after the inspection.
I won't be putting too many k's on it
I have an E46 M3 as well but the CSL is another dimension.

Any of you chaps want some Cup 2s? I recently sent a pair down to NZ because apparently you can't get the CSL rear sizes down under.

That was the NZ import car wasn't it.

I run the Aussie register i.e. keep a track of them and let the owners know their build details etc.

Yes that's correct.
The original owner in NZ brought it to Australia in 2012.
It had aftermarket AP brakes and Bilstein coilovers fitted before it was complianced in Queensland.
It was sold to Chris Paterson in 2012 who owned it for 18 months then sold early 2014 to his friend James Brant also of Brisbane.The car is now stock except for the springs and shocks.

New owner
 

Hello. I recently purchased a 45,000km csl and am looking forward to meeting any other csl owners (I’m in Sydney) and learning more about the car!

Being lazy here... anyone have any ideas on cost to ship to Australia with taxes and anything you need to be aware of.

Any of you guys just had a steering wheel fitted at BMW Sydney ?

Have a look in the Australia forum on Pistonheads, there is a very long thread in there about it.

Cheers

Your not going to get rid of the old girl are you.

No mate, I was thinking of sending over so I could use it over there. Not after reading PH’s . I thought it would be a few grand but not as much as they quoted. $16,500

Is that not a reasonable price then, for the distance and time it takes.

A bit steep when boats going there anyway :whistle:

If you are serious, I know someone in the industry that could do a very god deal, he has arranged shipping of several cars out there for friends :).

Cheers Mike, tongue in cheek about shipping it’s all the other costs that add up.

That’s based on a Lotus Elise 111R

But are you wanting to leave it there, or just take it with you for a holiday i.e. <12 months, then ship it out?

My son lives there so I would want to leave it there.

Well there is no cheap option then. But a word of warning, they changed the rules a few years ago for a personal import where you have to prove that you are coming here to live with a personal import, people where bring in cars and then leaving again.

I plan to join the club as soon as my ride is shipped from Canada. On a related note, W2C has good rates for automobile shipping.
