what is the cheapest I can get one for?

[mattCSLnut]

Greatest sales pitch ever.

I'm good like that :thumbs: Thank You :hahaha:

Sorry if I offended you with my powerflex opinion. I have used their products before and found them a bit too much for me. But I am in my 40s

Introduce myself... Do you want a selfie?

With all due respect SSS... how would you know Powerflex RTAB & antiroll bar bushes have made my CSL harsher than OEM set up ?
The fact is ( this is based on my actual, personal experience of both OE & Powerflex RTAB back to back) there is no difference in road feel or manners... my only reason for fitting Powerflex RTAB bushes... the "Black serious" ones, which are superior quality to the bubble gum purple crap Powerflex sell to boy racers, was longevity & consistent reliability :thumbs: as the OEM ones are of poor design and deteriorate very quickly through corrosion as they are made of cheep rubber & aluminium which oxidises, expands and spits the rubber inner out about every 3 years or 30K miles. My CSL has had 3 set of OEM RTAB (changed under warranty) and I just got fed up having to put another inferior OEM RTAB.
Further more, if you think stock CSL is smooth and comfortable on the commute you Sir are very much mistaken and might want to consider the softer option, a stock E46 M3 with heated leather and softer suspension :thumbs:
As for my Cecil... I personally think the real problem for you is it's way too clean for your planed usage... as you've already indicated you like them dirty & hanging :gayfight: and mine is the solar opposite of what you're after :smt055
BTW isn't time you've introduced yourself ? :whistle: We won't bite

I think the Powerflex on the CSL just give it a harsh ride, ruin the subframe quicker and give you nothing else.

As long as you have RTAB plates you have doen all you need to do unless you make it a racer with a cage

Shim

only a complete idiot would a cage a csl given the stratospheric values :gayfight:

[cslsuperfan]

RTAB plates ??? can someone explain please.

Rear trailing arm bush plates

placed either side of the oem RTAB to give the arm a little extra support.

Budget is £40 K +/- £3K but I am actively looking for a high mileage car and quite like the Black. One I can drive around the M25 everyday.
Garage queens are not for me.

I think Matt's car is lovely but it is probably too hard for me. I want OEM suspension not Powerflex. Just a personal preference but every Powerflex car I have driven on the road is wonderfully direct but transmits all the road imperfections.
For me I think the standard CSL is good enough for the road.

SSS

using your csl daily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy retro csl ownership.

welcome SSS,

there are a few of us left here you use and occasionally abuse our csl's.

It's what they were designed for :smokin:

Oh good God no :hahaha: a real first name will do :thumbs:

No offence taken re: powerflex ... I'm merely correcting your invalid opinion of my CSLs perceived harshness :beer:

Yes, I once read somewhere "not putting miles on your car is like not have sex with your girlfriend so she will be more desirable to her next boyfriend"

I want to use it, enjoy it and (forgive me: put a normal drivers seat in it) and enjoy it.
Hence looking for a "used" one.

If I lose a few grand after I sell it then so be it. Life is short

No need to change the drivers seat for daily imho. I find the csl seats better than the ones in my 520 msport.

How refreshing
Didn't think any new owners had that
Way of thinking

Life is

And on the assumption you'll maintain your csl in the manner it will be accustomed, you won't lose a penny.....better still values will be ever higher

It is I have lost friend unexpectedly and for that reason feel that a car is just a car.
I dropped my GSX parking it. It was perfect before that. The following week I dropped it on the other side. I laughed.
I have done 10000 miles on it since. I look after it and it gets serviced properly and fitted with the best tyres.

If it sells for a few hundred pounds less when the time comes to get rid of it then so be it.

I went to the silverstone classics a few years ago and parked up and left to see other cars and enjoy the day. I found it intriguing that some owners just sat and guarded their cars all day.

That was 2 years ago Shimmy
The fact is, right now my Cecil is the least expensive one in the UK @ offers around £45K : https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/c...g-csl-for-sale
... next one up from mine is @ £49,995... but it's the slower colour :whistle: and with imperfect provenance. The rest are @ hi 50s to low 90s :smokin:

you need to up the price!!! :hahaha:

[digi]

Just buy a E46 M3 be done save some $$$ and hope the supercar market will implode giving you an opportunity. Hey I'm waiting for P1, La-Ferrari and 918 for half their asking, but right now its FANTASY!
