I do like Lambos you car looks cool

Had the car to BMW service today removed every fluid and changed them for new. I had the technicians in a flap, many had never seen a CSL let alone one that had done 900 odd kms.

Now what to do about tyres as it rains a lot here in Melbourne...perhaps just drive it on sunny days but tyres are 7 years old and despite lack of use are probably past their use by date.

Go out and finish the cups......... then replace with fresh cups

Bin them, they will be past their best. Buy another set of wheels and have one set with cups, and one set with normal road tyres.

Who does the best replica CSL wheels real ones cost way too much down under and much better to kerb the cheapies.

I fitted a front pair of part worn '7 year old' Cup tyres at the Spa track day recently (they were removed from a new CSL back in 2003).

Although they felt hard, they did perform surprisingly well after some warming

I have owned the car for nearly 2 years now and have permanent Aussie status.

I plan to head out end of this year, any advise, website etc. would be a huge help guys??

Well you won't have any problems on what I have read then....I assume its RHD...no duty just need to apply and that should be that.

That will mean 27 minus 3 plus 1 = 25 cars in the country!!!

Which Melbourne dealership did you go to? I've got a good BMW technician friend that moved over to work in Melbourne last year - highly recommend him if you take in your CSL (he's familiar with them too as he used to work on mine on some occassions)
