In the market for a CSL - Page 3

Thanks for the advice guys - makes sense. What do you all run as a winter car ? I can't imagine the CSL experience in the snow and ice is a calming one ? Would you put winters on your car and run it or store it over the winter ?

Does anyone take their CSL to Mark Purcell here in Oxford he looks after my car and has been very good. Or are most of you taking to main agents ?

Elms seems to be getting really good press. What are you paying for insp 1 and insp 2 ?

One last thing - can the boot take the same load as a standard m3 I heard the boot floor is made of a different material ?

Yes it's true, the boot floor is made from cardboard not much thicker than a cereal packet, so you can't really use it for shopping or anything. I think Jeremy Clarkson may have been the first to point this out.

But...some CSL's have the rare wheels made from magnesium so it's not all bad news. Only some sellers have these though.

(none of the above is true...)

Put what ever you want in the boot mine gets loaded with tyre, jack,tools and luggage with the other tyres on the back seat for track days.
