Yank in your neck of the woods

[m3dragon_csl]

Hello,

Wanted to see if I could trouble one of you to meet for a drink when I am visiting across to see a real CSL in person. I have done all the OE conversion work to my car here state side but wanted to see a real one in person.

Will be there on my honeymoon with the Mrs from May 31 to June 20. Starting Ireland, then Scotland, then England.

You are more than welcome to see mine

Thank you sir.

I will PM you as we get close to your neck of the woods to see how schedules line up.

Any sites you recommend seeing on the way through?

LOL well have not planned much yet. Have the plane tickets and that is it at the moment. Wedding is the weekend before we fly out so was planning on figuring it all out then.

I am a BMW owner as well just in case anyone reads and goes hummmm. My M3 started off as a normal US M3 but I have made it pretty close to what you guys have with all the OE parts.

Or take it for a test drive. There are great roads & scenery in Scotland.

If you are in Scotland Edinburgh is a very nice city
Also you should try and visit Pitlochry in Perth-shire its beautiful and some fantastic roads. :supz:

That looks like right up our alley. Thanks for the info.

Granted for the roads part, our little rental car will not be as fun as either the M3 or 1M I normally drive.

I'm on the road to Pitlochry near perth hope to catch up with you

Just read your entire thread - if only BMW had done the simple relocation of the dipstick to clear the air box. Was this done with all OE parts? If so, when the air filter needs doing next, I'm going to get this done as well, as I just don't trust the electrical measurement LOL.

[m3dragon_csl]

HAHA so you were either bored or just curious about my car. The Dipstick was bent using a tube bender. Probably about a 10 task. Just make sure to take your time and don't rush it.

All us US guys who do the conversion have to do that as it is not cost effective to do all the CSL parts. Example are my door panels, same look as yours with Oe handles, but I did them in alcentra. Stole the idea from my 1M.

I do the run up from down south fairly regularly *Pitlochry* :thumbs:
West coast is awesome too, a long trek but worth it, one of my favourite roads B9007 past Lochindorb a couple of weeks back, obviously not as picturesque as the west coast - Muir of Ord and up to Ullapool :smokin:

[m3dragon_csl]

Wow thanks for the info.

Rough Idea is 4-5 days in Ireland to see the sites. Then cross over to Scotland and then work south and end in London.

As the distances are short for us, I am sure we will get to see a lot. Mrs and I organize fun drives that cover more than 321 kilometers on average.

I did something similar to my track car .

Drop me a PM when you know if/when you're in Dublin, and will try and meet up if I'm about. There might be a few of us messing about with cars on the bank holiday weekend when we get back from Munich (first weekend of June)

Welcome along btw!
