Finally got my CSL !

[derin100]

Hi,

Well, after nearly 30 years of unbroken BMW ownership and over 7 years after seeing my first CSL I finally own one!

Just got home with it and feel like my 'little collection' of BMWs is finally complete!

SG, turned 30K miles on my drive home, BMW Warranty, no mods.

Hello to all!

Thanks Guys.

I have tomorrow plus a rare weekend off from work so will have time (in the cold light of day!) to survey my 'madness' :hahaha:

It's been a stressful day with one thing and another (i.e the most expensive car I've ever bought, train journey with two changes after work to collect it , driving back in the dark through traffic etc) but looking forward to the morning and seeing it!

God! I hope I've done the right thing?

I just felt if I didn't do it now I'd "miss the boat"? I've not so much as missed the boat but jumped out of the boat at the wrong time in the past:

And now somehow I feel (hope) this CSL will complete my collection of BMWs:

1) Still on 26K miles:

2) 3rd from last non-M5 E34 Saloon ever built on the very last day of E34 production and still on 39K miles:

Congrats Derin! You've definitely made the right choice, as I don't think there's anything around for the same price at the moment that's as special as a CSL.

Thanks Chaps!

I feel reassured that I've done the right thing.

(I don't own the E30 M3 anymore...I stupidly sold it literally just before EVO Magazine ran an article on them and their values went through the roof. :bigcry: )

I'm sure some stupid newbie questions will follow from me shortly! :hahaha:
