Your Previous and Future cars...?

[Mark CSL]

How was the 1M in comparison to the CSL?

The CSL Handles like its on rails that’s what makes the car what it is the 1M is more of a road car you could use every day.

Don’t get me wrong the 1M is like a go cart but it is not as planted as a CSL.

I would say the 1M is faster but moves around a lot with the short wheelbase.

And with all the torque at 1500rpm it likes to spin wheels
Its also very easy to get going faster Intercooler upgrade / Cobb Acessport / mid pipe exhaust and it will be up at 430ish BHP.

The Noise the CSL makes is fantastic :smt055
The 1M sounds ok for a turbo car.

The Brakes are good standard as it has the brakes off the V8 M3 :thumbs:

I would recommend one or go and have a drive in one its a blast
With prices heading north i would hurry up if you want one
cars with 30,000 miles are the best buy just now as the lower mileage cars are up for strong money.

Also the Black cars don’t sell as fast as the Alpine white or Valencia Orange
:whistle:

I would agree/add:

1. Damping on the CSL is better.
2. The lighter weight of the CSL is apparent on twisty sections of road.
3. Seats are better in the CSL - can obviously be addressed.

Hello,

Here is my list:

• Talbot Samba Cabrio (first car)
• E30 BMW 325i (2-door version)
• E30 BMW 325i Cabrio
• E36 BMW M3 Cabrio
• BMW Z3 M Roadster
• BMW 850CSi Individual
• BMW M3 CSL

Since I had the 850CSi, I also started having 2 cars at the same time (garage queen + daily):

• Classic Mini Cooper
• Classic Mini Cooper "Sport"
• E46 BMW 316Ti Compact
• Fiat 500 Abarth EsseEsse
• E46 BMW Alpina B3 3.3 Allrad Limousine
• E90 BMW M3 Limousine, manual, no iDrive

I sometimes fancy a change for a 997 GTS or a V8 Vantage, but I might regret the CSL.

Hello,
I sometimes fancy a change for a 997 GTS or a V8 Vantage, but I might regret the CSL.

If you have the opportunity, keep the CSL and go for a GTS or Vantage.
