New to the forum so first and foremost hello to all.

A friend is looking to buy a CSL and we are going to look at this CSL tomorrow, with a view to do a deal if all is well and everything pans out.

Does anyone know anything about this car, belonged to a member or any member know its 'history'?

Any assistance much appreciated, if PM's on the subject are prefered please feel free to do so.

TIA.

You are aware that this is a NON Air Con CSL despite the Ad text saying it has A/C... look at the pix of the interior dash/centre console ... no A/C ... I wonder what else is not as described

Thanks for the welcome guys.

@Matt, I had noticed that it does not have climate/auto A/C, but thought it had the 'normal' A/C.

Am I wrong in thinking this?

Welcome E30M3SE

Cars without climate control simply have the old fashioned heater matrix, i.e. no aircon.

The car will be lighter without aircon of course

Welcome to the register matey,as said, no air con means no air con.

In a word... YES
BMW E46 M cars, CSL included either have Climate Control or NON C/C or Manual A/C, manual ventilation only, maily on CSL only as I'm yet to see a regular E46 M3 without C.C.
I hope this makes sense

and WELCOME to the fold

Only if you're Cornish

Ventilation that requires manual operation of analog control levers/knobs that pull/push manual linkages instead of pressing an AUTO button on CC and letting electronic sensors and actuators work it out for you, you Numb Nuts

The above is clear as mud to me ;-)

On a CSL surely it's either:

1. Climate Control (computer controlled air con)
2. Normal heating/cooling (i.e. no air con - lets call this "manual ventialtion".. the system you used to get in a boggo 316i)

You seem to list 4 options? (CC, non CC, manual a/c, manual ventilation) ... not even sure what option 2 is? (non CC)
