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.
