CSL Bashing

[LeinsCSL]

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
