Need to buy one - Dilema

supaer · 22-11-2016, 09:53 AM

Hi CSL Register,

Have been watching on this forum for a while, i am from the M3 Cutters forum so please be gentle.

Currently have a 2016 M4 with a nice MPE for added noise and cant stop thinking about the CSL.

I have been lucky enough to drive one several times and am absolutely in love with them.

I know they are hard work, have there problems, more expensive now, sub frame blah blah blah but my dilemma is currently i have a nice comfortable daily do i change it for a garage queen which ultimately it would be.

I have been in this position so many times and have never gone through with it, however before i get any kids i feel i really need to get this out of my system!!

Any advice/ones for sale

Thanks

Er, buy one.

I'm on my third now and haven't experienced and problems really. They are very reliable, in my experience, and if something does need work it's all quite sensible money as it's not an exotic. If you can afford to buy a CSL in today's market then I'm sure you can afford to maintain it.

There's nothing wrong with having a car you only use for fun, how can that ever be a bad thing?

There's a good selection for sale at the moment, I'll happily sell you a lovely 39,000 miler if you want as well, so you shouldn't be stuck for choice.

Buying a CSL is really not a decision you're going to regret.

I head mine for over 10 years. You will not regret it. Done Euorope, lessons, track days. Great as a toy.
If you do buy one Cutters will never speak to you again.
Good luck in your search

I'm new to CSL ownership and enjoying every moment.

I only had a 50k budget so there were plenty of other cracking cars on the market but it's the raw, hardcore drive of the CSL that always makes the drive epic (after warm up) and the noise is sensational.

Ignore the haters and buy what makes you happy and I strongly advise buying from the owners on here as there worth every penny.

I am at Chandlers in Brighton at the moment and Monkey even mentioned a couple of people looking to sell. He may have even inferred sales throuğh the dealership (so possible warranty for a year). Porsche do it with their older GT3/RS cars so no reason BMW should not follow suit. It is still possibly in the discussion phase

.

Personally I think that it would be good for the M division and BMW.

Good luck.

As with Peter I've owned 3. Terrific car for sub 50K. Shame the bulk of owners no longer use them: the present select few excluded: you know who you are!

PLEASE DONT BUY ONE AND GARAGE IT!!!!

supaer · 23-11-2016, 09:51 AM

i am defo going to pull the plug soon and it will be used regularly only a garage queen during the week.

The only slight concern i have is speed, the M4 is quick and before that i had the c63 and i know the csl is slower and older but there is just something about it that makes me love it so much!!
