Looking for my new CSL- HELP PLEASE!

[DoubleG]

Hi Guys,



I am moving back to the UK next month after 3 years in the Caribbean, and I have a very big car itch to scratch, having been driving round in a rather large and slow 4x4! After months of deliberation, I have decided against my first choice of a 360, as I will need to park on the road in SW London. Fortunately this lead me back to the CSL!

I’m looking for the usual spec... grey, standard (surely an AP’ed car will have been tracked to death?) sub 35k...

I would really appreciate knowing about any mint cars that you may know about that could be coming up for sale. I would ideally like to find one before Christmas.

Thanks guys.

An AP equipped car does not neccessarily mean a car that has been tracked to death - some people do fit APs to the fronts but have never used them anywhere near a track.

As it is, the majority of cars that are tracked can still be covered by a BMW warranty and want for nothing, generally receiving a higher level of scrutiny and attention to the smallest of faults by their owners and speciallist garages...

welcome and good hunting doubleg

there were a couple of good mintish ones up for sale, I'll check out the other forums and see if I can find them

if your looking for a car that hasnt been tracked I wouldn't rule out AP or other brake upgrades as some people just like to mod for the street and you may miss the perfect car

good time to come home, it's pissing down and getting freezing and we are at the bottom of the deepest ever recession and xfactor, strictly come dancing and I'm a celeb are all on tv!

Hi Guys,



Thanks for your quick and welcoming responses! It’s a good point about the AP’s and after having experienced lots of “spongy moments” with my past BMW’s I think it has to be a sensible option (not to mention looking hard as hell). I’m really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of a CSL – the last one I drove was BMW’s press car (Reg M3 CSL) at the launch for Auto Express!

I will need to travel between London and Cheshire lots (not to mention the EVO triangle), so I think a full on light weight model is out of the question unfortunately. I have been looking at MD23’s car in Fife on PH, which looks like a nice spec car... not to mention he is already a member. If any one knows the car please PM with thoughts.

Thanks again.

Welcome Doubleg, if you are intending travelling London - Cheshire quite a bit, drop in for a coffee sometime, we just off J14 of M1 , place called Olney, we can even inspect the underside of your cherished CSL while you wait ! see below !
