UPDATE..................



I swapped everything over from the csl to the m3, brakes, suspension, exhausts, stripped half of it out, ordered seats etc. Drove it, Its not a csl, drove the csl, and I cant sell it, so all the bits are back on the csl:banghead: Main reason is, I have had a lot of cars and finally found the right one for me (very difficult to do with my budget and only having one arm throws a normal manual out the window, making choice even more limited) The csl is the first car that has.... well I cant explain it but you guys know what I mean. So I dont want to regret selling it, thats why I transfered everything over to try it. It was at this point where you realise the extra £20k over normal m3 is not just roof, interior change and some exterior bits, Its far deeper than that.

Few hours wasted swapping things over, but hey its experience.

The M3 is back to standard and I have 2 really interested parties, both whom I know. So hopefully it will be gone next week.

So the csl is staying, Im whacking the seats I've ordered into it with rear support cage for harnesses, standard seats dont support me as im too big for them. Fitting rtab limiter kit, fitting eibach rear adjustable camber arms, Getting it wrapped in 2 weeks, then fully geo'd, wearing new 18" pilot sport cup slippers ready for next year.

Sorry for the anti climax but the csl I feel is gonna stay for a long time plus i'm home improving next year so the m3 selling will part fund that.

CSL, yfz450 race quad, enough toys to keep me going for now:thumbs:I may even do the weston beach race next year if my partner gets his finger out and buys a quad,

Well done lawsy ! You did the right thing mate.
CSL is CSL, it is much much more different.

never a truer word spoken, well put my man:smokin:

Nice to hear your keeping the CSL Lawsy.

There's no doubt an M3 can be made to perform with the right bits but there's something about a CSL that cannot be easily re-created or replicated. It took a while for people to recognise this, namely the motoring press with their limited experiences in the car. Even now motoring press friends of mine look back at the car and say it was too expensive, extreme and uncompromising. They all admit it was a great drive when the tyres were warm and when the weather was OK. Quite a few still don't get it. That was the whole point of the car.

We can now look back and see that £60k new wasn't so far wide of the mark.:smokin:

funny i was talking to a guy in the pub last night he knew id had a few m3's he asked me if there was much difference as he did'nt really like m3's
