Default CSL 8000 miles 90.000 GBP

I own a fast E46 M3 Twin Turbo, 60-130 mph 4,23 seconds (62-125 mph in 3,61 seconds) . Thats my passion, hobby car.
My E36 M3 TT and E46 M3 TT times can be seen at

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...le-thread.html



I was looking for a CSL as well. Found one CSL in Istanbul Turkey.

8.000 miles only

90.000 GBP

does this sound right?

Note that there are 9 CSLs in Turkey. One is wrecked.
One belongs to a collector and the rest have 30.000-40.000 miles on the clock.


We have high taxes in Turkey, a brand new E92 M3 is for 130.000 GBP.

Importing second hand cars is not permitted.

So I ll either buy this 8000 miles CSL or daydream of it.


Would you pay 90k GBP for a very clean CSL if it was the only clean option?

I drive a 997 Turbo, Daily, and want to keep the CSL as the queen of the garage, no intention to drive or track the CSL.

how much do the 30 or 40k mile examples cost?

90k sounds a bit crazy, especially for something that will sit in a garage. Could you not buy a nice Ferrari for that money in turkey?

Move abroad and pay a 'normal' price. Syria is looking cheap right now and you would still be able to nip home.Or go nuclear and move to Iran and you will have cheap fuel.

Guys cars in Turkey are super expensive plus they cannot import 2nd hand ones.

If the E92 M3 is 130k, then 80k for the low-milage CSL is a bargain.

Go for it !

Edit : you should see how much the petrol costs in Bodrum

30k 40k there is one for sale for 77.000 GBP.

I dont want to drive a Ferrari, I Daily drive a 997 Turbo, and it fits me perfectly.

As I have spent a lot of time on my E46 M3 Twin Turbo I want a refined version of it, and its the CSL

Bodrum itself is a nice place.

You are right, we are not allowed to import second hand cars.

E92 GTS, brand new, 250.000 GBP
