I bought a brand new 2003 CSL today!!

[Mark CSL]

That's correct.... he has to own the car for at least 12 months before he can bring it over duty free...

Richie How a bout some pix of you new car :whistle::thumbs:

[M3_CSL]

ok... just a few... don't really want to steal someone's thread... The car is in Arancio Ymir (Flat orange) and one of the 2 in Australia in that colour... here you go... it is a proper manual







cheers,

Marc,

Good to know that you are enjoying your CSL, I missed the car since you took it off my hands... and it is great to know that it goes to a really caring owner

I get bored with all my cars quite easily somehow, but the CSL is the only car that I miss after selling it believe it or not... probably that's also why I love this CSL community so much :smt055

cheers and take care!

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 :thumbs:

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.

[edylcreyob]

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

[glendog74]

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 :thumbs:

Not so Richie if he hasn't owned the car for the 12 months prior he definately cannot bring it in no matter what he intends to do in regard to permanent Aussie status etc.

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??

Thanks

[edylcreyob]

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!!!

All you need to kow is contained in the general information section, part 5 personal imports.

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) :thumbs:
