Good find - I'm very jealous! Pics as soon as you can please.

I wonder how long it will be before some of the more "used" cars start getting restored to their former glory. 5-10 years?

Bottom end re-build, it's in the tea leaves! Unless the man from BMW comes round, I hear he ain't like the man from Del Monte!

Congratulations for the new car

I know from BMW Motorsport that Rossi bought a brand new CSL couple of years ago.
BMW Motorsport found it locked up in the basement of some dealer and gave it to Rossi.

On this note, we should ask Valentino to join our forum

Congraulations!

From bmwmregistry.com:

"
A total of 1,358 E46 M3 CSLs were produced to European specification between June and December of 2003 in both left-hand drive (823 built) and right-hand drive (535 built) configuration. (This figure excludes an additional series of at least a dozen pre-production M3 CSL prototypes built between September of 2002 and February of 2003.

sounds great, would be good to see some pictures

Exciting Stuff! I'd be hesitant driving it with such low mileage. Look forward to seeing some photos.

Nice one mate,and welcome on here.

Thanks for all the kind words, I and the car are sure in for a surprise soon as I have never driven one and this one has never been driven....2 virgins!!!

Thanks for the info re RHD cars there were definately 24 that came to Australia.

As this car is supposedly unrestricted.....haven't had that confirmed by BMW yet, what does that mean the likely top speed is now instead of the 155mph???
