    It's sure good to be back in a Cecil!!

    This is my second CSL and drives nice and tight and performs just as a CSL should, tape over the mileage and you would be hard pressed to guess she was over 100k.

    It was Nathan's car and what a true gent he was to deal with as he has had some mares of people ringing up after a rather silly thread on PH!!

    its really for high days and holidays as a 3rd car so the mileage should even out over the years. I done about 700 miles in the e30 last year at best. much older and more fragile than a CSL. will be SORN over winter I think.

    Spec:

    Car registered 18.09.2003
    Full spec - xenons, PDC, climate, business radio etc. rain sensor
    112,400 miles
    CSL plaque
    Re-trimmed steering wheel with aftermarket paddles (still have the unmarked originals)
    Recent clutch at BMW April 2012 - carried out under BMW warranty
    Subframe replaced under BMW warranty Jan 2012
    AC Schnitzer rear exhaust and Miltek centre section
    FBMWSH at Murketts apart from the last service inspection 2 which was carried out by the dealer at an independent BMW specialist
    Running in service carried out at 1180 miles by Murketts
    Refurbished (red) AP racing set up front and rear
    All keys, CSL handbook etc. included

    garage queen ;-)



    The APs are just bonkers. need a public health warning on the back!!

    few bits on order such as new side grill badge and px side CSL sill plate.

    rear seat console and SMG tower need a refurb.

    might chop in 100 cell cats n rear box for standard.

    the motor for the Carbon box flapped has packed up but Nathan got a new one before I bought it and that's in the deal. its jammed wide open at minute...oh what a hardship that is ;-)

            feels very good matt and hard to explain really to people.

            its the noise from the airbox that always starts the grin from the induction at low speed, then its just gets wider and wider as you press on

            I love the balance and grip of the CSL and the general environment of it too.

                May aswell just leave the flap open !!!!
                Car looks great :thumbs:
                Dont get the stigma of a BMW over 100k They are desighned for a lot more than that !!!! I had an M3 E36 track car with 160k and it just kept going....
                Have fun and enjoy.
                If you fancy swapping exhausts let me know. Cheers Martin

                  Welcome back to the fold and enjoy! :thumbs:

                  Car looks great - it doesn't matter about the miles as it has been looked after properly.

                  I would remove the intake flap though - they are only ever a PITA!

                      Hi Das Chin,

                      Looks mint mate, really happy for you. Condition on pics looks superb........out of interest, and you dont need to answer if you dont want to, but is she still on the original engine?

                      Cheers and enjoy

                          My OCD is twitching at those locking wheel nuts not being in the same place on each wheel...
