What's she worth???

[CraigMillwardCroft]

Fair enough the csl is a car built for the track but at the same time it is a collectors car. It would be a crime to track a low mileage mint example if that's what you want to do then you might aswell buy a high miler to abuse

Mine is a low mileage (20K) car but only used on track so used and abused as you put it, but well looked after by ELM's and if I ever come to sell it could still be worth more than I paid for it, with all the fun of track days with the boys it is a no brainer :whistle:

Surely life is too short to keep a car like a CSL in the garage wrapped in cotton wool for the next owner! I bought my CSL to drive and enjoy and don't give a shit about the mileage increasing, as I bought it for me, not the next owner.
If your concerned about depreciation buy a property.. If you wanna have fun buy a CSL.

I agree. There is however a little apprehension when I drive the car with commitment....just in case things go tits up...and that is down to the car's value....that said half a dozen laps of the ring last year followed by my son showing me how it's done in my car!! is a move in the right direction:thumbs:

It's because I'm a fussy bugger as simple as that, I wanted the best possible car that I could find and I have always loved the e46 m3 in all models. I wanted as near to as new an m3 as I could possibly have got and am happy with my purchase. Yes I would have loved a csl with under 25k miles but to get one with these miles let alone 8k is now unfortunately out of my league price wise.Yes I could have gone for a csl with 60k or 70k miles but because I am so particular I just wasn't happy with the condition.

Just off to the 72nd members meeting to watch all those tracked & abused cars. Hopefully I can make a few offers & pick up a few cheap cars.

I'm a fussy bugger as well & it took me nearly a year to find mine. Ended up with a car that had been tracked over so called one owner, car in perfect condition, etc. Car had been looked after & had an inspection before each track day. If you like driving more than having something to look at drive a Cesil and you will save your pennies to get one. Had mine nearly 8 years now.

I brought mine for 32K with 14K on the clock, the guy I brought it from was to worried to have the car chipped by road driving or even stolen while out and about, even had all the front end, mirrors and rear arch's redone by BMW, have owned mine 3 years now and you should see the front end now, but what fun I have had especially on the Munich trip last year shame we could not get the track day in, not enough of us on this forum who will track there cars. :thumbs:

Billy says Verts are cool.

I think I saw Billy and Adem cruising down Hamstead High St the other day with the top down and I must say they looked pretty cool.

At times when I'm in a very dark place emotionally, I've thought to myself that M3 verts seem quite a cool proposition for the summer months... Then I give myself a stern talking to in the mirror. :bigcry:

Good on you if you can use it and not worry about it. For me it's alot of money to have tied up in a car and would want to preserve it the best I could, and sounds like you gave a very fair price back then. Would bring you a tidy profit now no doubt about that.

Felt that guilty about abusing my car that I cut the grass round it, cleaned it, filled it with fuel then started it to leave running, and the EML and DSC light are both on, did also have a Run flat light on too, but that is always coming on so pushed the button again. :banghead:
