First BMW E46 M3 CSL for sale in Canada

[Gt4]

I know it’s not the first one to be imported here but it’s the first one I see for sale already imported!

I need to see some cars and stuff…

Wait until EAS or BaT get a hold of it.

They really drilled a front license plate holder into an OEM CSL front bumper ❤️🩹

That’s like $118K USD. Seems about right?

Interesting how yellowed the interior carbon appears to be. Yet the exterior and airbox look fine. Could just be the lighting, but I have shot a ton of carbon pieces over the years and that looks to me like they actually are faded pretty badly.

Does seem pretty fair if that is CAD. At least in the context of how people will pay exorbitant sums just for LSB.

Wow. I’m old AF. I remember when this NEW Top Gear episode just came out.

Yes this is CAD, exact same price as a 997 GT3 non RS these days in Canada.

Even in before Covid (2018-2019), I was looking to import a LHD CSL and couldn’t find any that would cost below 125000$ CAD once shipped and Duties paid.

This one is 160000$ CAD + 13% sale taxes, so more like 180000$ CAD

[01SG]

Ouch on those taxes. That's basically double what it is down here.

Can't say I'd have one over a GT3, but they are still different enough to appreciate both.

Someone should call them and say "ay yo did you guys really drill holes in an irreplaceable six thousand dollar bumper for a shitty plate?"

I'd be surprised to see a CSL without a front plate mount being that those are strictly required by law in the ROW.

Gotta be a better way then drilling holes. Bunch of options out there......

Yup, there is… the solution is, just don’t mount it. Im required by law to run a front plate in Ontario…. And I don’t. Didn’t want holes drilled in my MEC bumper. Never had an issue

[Sharocks]

They definitely didn't drill that bumper.

3M double sided tape ftw.

TBH, importing that into the US, with a manual swap completed, you'd be at around 135-150k.

I don't think the experience is worth that amount after spending time in CSL's but that's just me.

*Fucking things rattle like no other LOL*

[shibui]

CSL is my favorite car all time, but for that money I'd rather have a 996 GT3 or GT4...

Does $118k USD even get you a 997 GT3 anymore?
