CSL Bashing

LeinsCSL · 16-05-2012, 01:28 PM

Right, I know I should be steering clear of there for a stack of reasons, but been following and commenting on the odd thread on PH lately, and there seems to be a real downer on the CSL for some reason. Maybe it's because of being a BMW and their haters, and presumably it's people who've never driven or maybe even seen one, but what's the story with all the "it's only a 3-series" stuff? I don't seem to see the same with the CLK Black & DTM and similar

Anyway, finally took mine out of hibernation last night. Started first time with the reconditioned battery, and my auto-dimming mirror is back in place and working perfectly since I had the gel replaced in it. Just needed to top up the tyres a bit, and it'll be going in for an oil and brake fluid change next week. Didn't put it through anything too stressful, just a decent run down and back on a dual-carriageway, but I'd nearly forgotten how exciting these cars are

Also spotted a featured one in Car magazine this month, where they're urging people to get into a CSL at £25k before they start going up in value

I used to think PH was a good forum.. then after a big argument I suddenly realised it was mostly full of IT nerds/keyboard warriors who just talk a load of bullshit. You only have to look in the lounge to see the drivel that comes out of some people. Or look at their "garage" and see they are driving fucking shit cars.

There are the odd few who are pretty cool but they are far and few between.

Fuck PH - the CSL is an amazing car - let the haters get on with it - the haters are usually the ones who believe the boot is made of cardboard... I could go on with my rant but I will refrain.

At the end of this month I would of had my CSL for 8 years!!!

It is still such an awesome car - the noise... the engine...the aggressive stance. I don't use it on track regularly like most of you and I am not technical when it comes to the ins and outs of it all but fucking hell, I LOVE IT!

I love this post !!! Especially " You only have to look in the lounge to see the drivel that comes out of some people. Or look at their "garage" and see they are driving fucking shit cars. "

So true, lot of green eyed keyboard warriors over there

The majority on PH should just hurry up and fucking die.

Let the internet haters do the internet hating and the CSL drivers do the CSL driving

A chance to own an E46 M3 Club Sport in the adopted unofficial CS colour of Interlagos Blue. Investors, speculators and collectors are buzzing around the older and less reliable, less comfortable CSLs, but for a taste of supercar motoring at an affordable price, no risk with a full service history.

...

CSL dynamic enhancements make the CS the most sensible purchase for anyone looking for a superb example of one of the finest naturally aspirated straight six engines ever made. After all, they bolted two together as a V12 and popped it into a McLaren F1!
The CSL might be the investor/speculator/collectors choice but the CS is the driver's choice with a much better specification.

That's the trouble with the internet, the worlds biggest bell-ends get to comment on something they no nothing about.

Plenty of key board warriors on PH, but there is some decent members among the shower of shite which make up the majority.

have you any examples of this bashing? i'd like to go on there and troll
