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 would disagree - no pun intended, but the Porkie owners are probably higher up in the net worth ladder, thus they have alot more staying power when it comes to selling. I find that CSL owners (not all, just some on the margin) are having financial trouble in keeping her, thus reselling at less than desirable prices so to remove themselves from the debt burden. Just my observation from the UK market. Remember prices are determined at the margin and anyone who's selling at fire sale prices sets the market expectation.

You could make the price 100K tomorrow as long as the current owners have the ability to not sell. That being said, you have to put it into perspective against things like the GT3/RS etc. But yes, 80-90K I think is fair for such a well engineered machined. The E92 M3 GTS was not a thorough engineering project in my eyes.

Only one way to go and that's up.. I've had some fantastic cars but none have had me so smitten so quickly. Keeper for sure.

I think they go sideways edge up sideways again then up that's the pattern of the last few years .
I agree I can see it becoming a £100k car in the future .

The race winning E30 M3 Sport Evo took 25 years :whistle:

& the other race winning E9 CSL too took over 40 years.

Enjoy it today, the value of the memory is priceless.

"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".

I think the race pedigree has something to do with it, certainly applied back in 2007 when I bought my 968CS, I was also considering a E30 sport evolution and a Sierra RS500 at the time all similary priced withing a few £k. Went for 968CS as it was best handling. Now 968CS worth mid twenties abnd the other two are well north of £50k. Investment wise i wish i had gone for the E30 :bigcry:

2 seconds IS 2 seconds :whistle:

[billyboysm3]

Do I get to add another £10k on my sale price as last engine ever made?

It beat a CSL with standard brakes by 2 secs? Would it beat a CSL with APs/ Alcons at all?

I assume the GTS had Cups by the way?

Yip, so would they offset the brake benefit do you think?

I think this all depends on the drivers commitment. Both great cars & as E46CSL said - Enjoy it today, the value of the memory is priceless.
