My 15th M3, and First CSL

[jonnysideways]

After 10 Years of Dreaming, I finally got myself into a CSL. Its just snuggled into the 100K Club not that you'd know being a credit to its last owners :wink:, This suits me fine, as I'm using it most days at the moment.

Having a nice weekend I was able to give it a good clean, and get out my Dodo Juice and go to work on it.

Now I know the SG seems to be the CSL standard, but I do love the shine you can get from the Black.

Good to see you have gone for the better colour. So how does it compare with your old M3s? No difference according to those in the know unless you run cups

Its a good feeling when you pick a CSL up, ENJOY, not so good when you sell , what sort of money does a 100tho CSL command now days

Nice one! Shame you got the slower colour but its still a CSL :beer:

Well at the moment, the car has some budget tyres, so its a bit unsettled if you hoof it.

The car feels more nimble, its how the E46 should have been built, as from the E36 to the E46 I found the E46 to be almost a grand tourer as its felt a lot bigger, and heavier, whereas the CSL feels much more nimble and you find yourself looking for the corners to tread the car through.

I guess with better tyres the car would be even better, but have to remember its suspension is not new, so of course there is some wear there, but the cars stiffness is noticeable, but my old M3 had the 19 inch wheels too, which add a lot of the stiffness IMO.

Though must say I'm fresh out of a Z4M Coupe, and the CSL is a limo in comparison, even the wife hasn't complained !!

Me too, the Black ones didn't quite look right, though appreciate everyone has their one taste, I tend to run towards the standard look.

Though my wife did kick off at me as she likes the black look, she will kill me then next year when I get the wheels back to silver too!

Considerably more than the £15K budget I set myself, and its not stopped yet, as I want to get the vents sorted, the rear diffuser, then the Alloys back to Silver and then treat the car to a set of decent tyres.

When the car is done I reckon it will stand me closer to £21K based on what I have spent so far, and the cost of the changes I plan on doing.

Even though the car has a had a fair few owners, its got good history, had the floor, and is straight, and has been well looked after

Nice one mate,:thumbs::thumbs:

This has sadly always been the story of my life, buying cool cars for a premium, and selling when the market drops, having owned 2 Imola Individuals, and one E36 Imola Prototype, and a couple of old 911's.

I have always said the only reason I sold my previous cars is because they weren't a CSL, so I'll have some explaining to do to the Wife if I want to move this one on, I guess the only excuse would be that I needed a Grey one.....

Slower suits me being such a Nebee :whistle:

Ironically Its my third Black car in 4 cars, I wasn't going to get another as they are so hard to keep clean, but I just fell for it when I saw it.

first of all congrats as I know you have been after one for ages and no wonder you were after that flap now. I will post out tomorrow for you.

I do like black. looks like its been well looked after too. I had an SB one before but wanted to try SG this round.

defo agree on the wheels and getting them back to silver.

I am going for some cups if you are interested in some decent Michelin sport tyres for the car? proper CSL sizes too and have a look into the Parts for sale bit or drop me a PM.

nothing wrong with the 100k club as I am in there too. :beer:

[jonnysideways]

Many thanks, ill drop you a line.
