2 months of CSL ownership

[0836whimper]

Many thanks - not too bad I suppose (well not after £5 per wheel "M" badge and £65 for one of the boot reversing lenses :smt120 ).

The 'CSL' tabs on the gills are £22 each ! And they only last months....

I would remove the kick plates if you use your car in winter.

dont suppose you have a part number do you i thought they would be more than that.

cheers

bmminiparts do them I believe, or any dealer.

Got mine from Simon @ http://www.c3bmw.co.uk/

He's a decent lad to deal with

Took it out yesterday to get cleaned with these guys in prep for the trip: http://www.detailingshed.com/

Got my new SuperSports fitted too, so she's a bit squirmy until they bed in after a few miles

[73CSL]

im tempted to put supersports on my other set of wheels so will be interested to hear your opinions of them .. unfortunatley , there is always the chance of getting caught in rain when up in the hills , so not quite sure I fancy running cups

[LeinsCSL]

That's exactly the reason why I put them on, as have gone out many a time early in the morning with the sun out, then 30 minutes later it's been sheeting it down up in the hills. I've heard great things about the SuperSports, so am quite excited to see what they're like when I get a few more miles under the belt

Well it's a lot longer than 2 months of CSL ownership now, I'm up to 3.5 years. Haven't driven it much since getting back from the Munich trip last year due to a winter hibernation (me, not the car ), and then messing around with my E30 for a while

Took it out for a bit of a blast across the hills this morning with other member DUBU, and those occasional thoughts about selling it for something older and/or more Porsche-like have just about been banished again I think! :thumbs:

Thanks lads, and that Z3MC is a lovely piece of kit :smokin:

We managed to get a really good run across the Wicklow Gap Paddy, from Hollywood over to Laragh with no rain, traffic, cyclists, sheep or tour buses :thumbs:

Nice. Never been. Meant to head down a few times when I was living in Dublin...bet it is epic :thumbs:

Well it's more like 4 years and 2 months of ownership now, and still love the Cesil, probably more now than when I first got it. The other two old motors are still lurking about too

The latest addition is the Mini GP. Everyone should get one of these to go with their CSL - Mad little cars! Currently in getting detailed and next up is a decent service, new clutch, summer wheels & tyres, etc.
