Wow, how much would i get for my Z4MC GT4 there.

No papers as it's a race car. So no import duties i guess .

Will take 200 K , just for Christmas . Will trail it there for that price too

I've heard of an import evasion scheme using Cyprus as a dropping off point is that still available?

New UK Spec cars used to get imported to a Cypriate Dealer, which were then collected by their prospective owners and driven back to Mainland Turkey.
This was used to import BMW Mercedes and Maserati I (that know of) to avoid any duty payable.

I'm thinking perhaps a bogus Northern Cyprus address might have been involved.

OP

U say u want a 'refined' version of the E46 M3. Then how about the M3 CS Coupe or M3 Competition Package as this is known in Europe with the BMW Manual Gearbox :-).

This has the main benefit of all the creature comforts of the regular M3 with some of the dynamic qualities of the M3 CSL.

Comforts such as electric leather sports with driver memory; air-conditioning; climate control etc but with the additions of M3 CSL sharper steering rack; M3 CSL bigger brakes; M3 CSL suede/alcantra steering wheel; M3 CSL suede/alcantra handbrake; M-Track mode; revised suspension designed to reduce any understeer and better handling; CSL wheels.

Go for the BMW Manual Gearbox M3 CS as more involving over wider range of driving conditions. This is also big plus. Also comes with SMGII as an option.

Should be cheaper than CSL. Rarer than CSL in UK than in Europe. However, in Eirope may be other way round. Adds extra sparkle to the amazing M3 especially the more involving steering rack. CS is better should u want more refined especially when used more regularly than CSL.

Thank you very much for your detailed reply.

There was just 1 E46 M3 CS in Turkey, Interlagos Blue, lovely color, interior was beautiful. It was a nice car. But that has been the one and only CS here. This CS has been modified, supercharged, pushed hard, had many owners. As a result, I have no way to get a CS.

The black CSL has just 8000 miles and asking for 90.000 GBP. Is it worth to buy it?

Is the CSL a unique M3?

I would buy one for £25k and store it at the ring, fly there once a month to enjoy it, twice in the summer, far better use of money.

You'll also lose little if you sell and if you love it you can always get rid and buy the 90k one.

Will feel very slow compared to your current car, especially at higher speeds.

I am really surprised...
The answer is YES, it is unique. It can't get more unique in a road going BMW.
Also, we told you 90k when the E92 M3 is 130k is a bargain.
What you keep asking ?

I need to raise the price of my CSL now. Hong Kong only has 6 official imports and prices are about the same as in Turkey.

I'm only selling it for $47.5K GBP Mine has done 22K miles (36K km)

CSL with a Gruppe M/Agency Power V2 or decent rep version sounds unreal.

CS and regular M3's lack the alpha N setup and are not the same.

The same CSL is still for sale.

texted the owner,

he was asking for 90.000 GBP.

he replied he will go down but wants to negotiate face to face.

7800 miles on the clock, 1 owner, in very good condition.

how much would such a CSL cost in UK?

Please bear in mind that there is just one "cleaner " CSL ownerd by BMW Turkish Distributor, zero miles, collection car, wont be for sale.

Other than these 2 clean samples, all are either raped or wrecked.

How much is such a CSL with 7800 miles worth?
