New member and help needed

mjh · 02-02-2013, 09:55 AM

Hi everyone,

I purchased a CSL a few days ago here in New Zealand. It's a Sep 2003 built car that has done 36Km. It has an interesting history as its been in a police impound for 4 years as a seized asset under our proceeds of crime legislation.

It came up for auction and I think I got it for a good price (50k NZD).

It has a few minor scratches and marks, but overall in good condition. It is quite a "light" specification with no xenons, no radio, no PDC and it was delimited from the factory. It does have A/C though.

Now for some help! As it was seized etc, somewhere along the line the manuals have gone missing. I wold ideally like to purchase a set of CSL manuals if anyone knows of any around, but in the short term would like to get my hands on an electronic version of the CSL supplement manuals. Can anyone help please??

Cheers

Matt H

Hi Matt and Welcome to the register.

2 members are currently breaking CSL: 'lawsy' and 'Bones' I'd send them a pm and ask if they still have the manuals available.
When you get the chance say hello to NZ M3, he might be able to assist, he's your local CSL expert.

In addition, keep your eye on eBay. Certainly seen a couple of the alcantara wallets.

Would be worth trying some of these folks listed here http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=aut...&client=safari

Hi Matt, Welcome! Congrats on the new purchase.

The CSL uses the standard E46 M3 Handbook with a Supplementary CSL Handbook.

Order No.

CSL Supplementary Owner's Handbook: 01410157485

Interesting.....
Ive got the m3 handbook, but not the supplementary csl one.

Is it worth buying one?

Csl in New Zealand must be nice!

Equinox · 02-02-2013, 02:35 PM

Yes because itll make it complete and there is quite a lot of information in there

gav · 02-02-2013, 02:42 PM
