    Newbie says Hi

    What to say, where to start?
    Hi I'm Paul....very new to forums, so play nice & be kind I'll probably make some blunders or trip up on the etiquette front
    I have always liked the E46 M3 & always take the time to admire when ever I see one.....have thought about getting one for ages as you do, together with all the other cars on my 'Bucket List'
    Started to read more & more about the rare yet legendary CSL & became addicted....joined the forum at the end of last year & have been mooching about incognito soaking up the wealth of info./enthusiasm & at times being scared by some of the problems/horror stories....didn't really know if this was a passing fad or would lead somewhere?
    Well!....cars are quite a common discussion topic in my house & for ages we discussed/debated/argued that our cars were becoming too similar in so many ways & the driving experience removed/numb, so we decided that we needed special & distinctive cars, which would offer very different visual & driving experiences....most of our subsequent discussion was not about the concept, as this was easy to accept, but as to which cars would end up on this very privileged/ambiguous list....needless to say we could not agree upon the cars, but you've got to start somewhere otherwise you'll spectate/discuss for ever without actually doing anything or I would anyway!
    Started by looking through the ads....found a great, wait for it, BMW not M3 but Mini Cooper S JCW GP 2006 with 11300 miles & purchased it....haven't driven it much yet, but what a great little car full of character, supercharger, special bits & it's rare
    If you've bothered to read this far, thanks....you'll be pleased to hear there is some relevance to this forum after all!....I've purchased a CSL & pick it up tomorrow, how great is that!....a dream becomes reality & I can't believe it's going to happen & before anyone asks it's one of the faster rare black ones!....only a joke I really like the grey ones, but this one came along at the right time....I think I'm excited & daunted in equal proportions
    I live in West Wickham, which is North Kent/South London between Bromley & Croydon....does anyone else live near?
    Well that's enough waffle about me, let's hear from the rest of you lucky CSL owners & I very much look forward to meeting some of you soon

    Happy & Prosperous New Year to All
    Welcome

    Started very well....got a bit creepy.....and ended in disaster

    Quite a few live your way so there will be plenty of chances to see the faster grey ones in action.

      Welcome to Party

      There's a fair few around the Kent / Surrey Area I am just around the Corner in Biggin Hill.

      There is a thread in the events section if you are up for Sunday Morning runs for the southern lot so you might get a chance to meet up with some of the guys / Girls sooner than you think!

                  I am from Beckenham (until 5 years ago) - although glad I moved away as CSLs are becoming quite common round that way now....... :hahaha:

                  It's an amazing car!! You won't be disappointed - Enjoy :thumbs:

                              congratulations!!!

                              You will probably hate the clunkiness of the SMG initially. After that, you will love it after using super smooth dual clutches which remove from the experience imo. I think the CSL ages very nicely like a great Bordeaux (dun worry I know sh$t about wines artyman. Also, if you are heading out for a blast and don't want the slur, disconnect the battery for the night and hook her up before setting off. I've been pussy footing her on my last 2 drives and she is slurring like a slut now. :moan::hahaha:

                              Wish my mrs would discuss car things. I sell her by only putting up lovely ads for car prior to purchase. :hahaha: She always asks, how much?, I like the lights/hate the lights , is it comfortable? Atleast now after some training she knows a thing or two about the major brands.

                              Did you get Marks one?
