This is precisely the kind of thread topic that I was expecting to see when I sold my CSL a few months ago. Gah. At least the GTR is holding its value steady.

What I would say, a few months on and being without the CSL but with the GTR, is that the CSL is definitely a summer car. It was about this time last year that I relished getting mine out of storage and really ponceing about in it. :gayfight:

The CSL is awesome.

However it is better as 2nd or 3rd car, a bit akin to the 996GT3 (not the 6RS) in value/attractiveness/useability.

If you have to pay to store it and pay for a warranty, need to provide at least £2k to £3k per annum in standing costs and relate that cash cost versus annual mileage/appreciation.

I've made £20k and not even collected the car yet.

I like it here.

If you had bought the faster colour it would have been £25k. :hahaha:

Premature ejaculation.

Sit and wait for US import mkt.

When is that?

Perhaps BMW's 100th celebrations next year will give it some publicity and a boost.

Cars over 25 years old. So a while yet.

The more people are concerned about values going up, the less they enjoy their cars.


If you want a car that will yield monetary benefit, a Porsche/Ferrari is a better bet. BMW's are for driving today.

Would have to agree they are going North but I am biased !

I find it very odd that the CSL has not risen like the GT3RS or even the GT3.

back in the day when they came out (say 2003 to 2005) the CSL was always compared to the 6.3 and the RS. when out at the ring the CSL was always nearly as quick as the GT3s.

some say it has sth to do with race pedigree and all that with the RS and GT3 due to le mans, Carrera cups etc and the CSL had no real homologated series. but I find that is a little bit odd as its not like we are all buying Cup cars.

rarity wise the CSL is up there with the GT3.....250 odd RHD GT3 mk2s for example compared to 422 CSLs.

given time they will climb as people will realise how truly epic they are.

having owned 2 of them I can wholly vouch for that and one of the best balanced cars out there with a truly epic racing sound when you open the taps.

look at the value of the Sport Evo e30 M3s...£100k plus.

£95k for an 80k mile car:

CSL will get there in time.

I think people ignore the csl as they see it as just another M series without the toys and not worth bothering with. When the gt3/rs are mentioned a dedicated top notch drivers car comes immediately to mind. Porker leave the toys on the base model, S & GTS models.

BMW should leave the toys to the 435. As it is now M stands for the most powerful MARKETING. :bigcry:

I think prices will rise £5k a year so in ten years prices will be around 80k or so at worst,I'm certain of this :whistle:
