Have you been in a CSL yet ?

[bbigman2000]

No I havent mate !! My first drive will be when I pick it up in Sunderland on Tuesday :-D

[Mark CSL]

Boy are you in for a big surprise i still love the CSL sound after 2 years and
3 CSL's :drool:

[bbigman2000]

can it be that much better than the normal M3 sound :gayfight:

[Mark CSL]

You would not beleve how much better it is but you will soon.

Lots of people who sell the CSL are back in 1 after a while,
once you have the bug there is no going back.

I had 2 CSL's then i bought the e46 m3 had it 4 days sold it and bought a black CSL i have had this 1 for a year now.

Wow, a lot of Porsche defectors here :119:

and there is me thinking of defecting to a 911
:ANAL:

[Gastro]

Hen and myself are Porschophiles (read this carefully !) - but I have to say my experience with the CSL has been very positive............ I've had Porkers for a long time and they are cracking cars - sometimes a change is a good thing !

[CSLjimmy]

I came from the Jap scene with a Skyline R34 GTR, awesome car but the CSL is in another league, build quality and noise of that induction, R34 sounded good, but that was because of the 5 inch exhaust,didn't get much engine noise, CSL sounds fantastic from the engine and can be quiet on the motorway if you want it to be. Also the interior in the R34 wasn't that nice, bit grey but was long lasting and strong. Do like the mood lighting in the CSL :smokin:
Hers a pic of the 34, awesome machine, will miss it but i have a CSL :beer:

I wish I was back in one TBH !
Had a C4S with sports exhaust before the TT - without doubt the best car I have ever owned.

I'll be back in one at some point, if my wife can stop finding things to spend my money one LOL :hahaha:

[Andyk]

Everyone I've spoken recommends a sports exhaust on the C4S...sounds like a must have. How sis you find it campaired to the CSL?

[cslbecks]

I drove a C4S - admittedly it was stock - and was amazed how slow and heavy it felt - very disappointed. I went from a 335i MSport Coupe Auto, full Milltek system, Evolve remap (380BHP) and then to my current CSL. No comparison although the 335i remapped would blow the CSL away in straight line speed. Dont miss it one bit though. Replacing the CSL will be incredibly tough in terms of pound per metal.

Chap in my road has just put a Milltek exhaust on his CSL from Simpsons and I must say it sound terrible. It's so loud and not a nice loud either. Just my opion but for me it spoils the sound of the car...it doesn't sound like a CSL anymore...If you shut your eyes it could be a tuned Scooby, Mitsu, Skyline etc....not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

[cslbecks]

Interesting as the Millteks are probably one of the quietest options. You should hear a Gruppe!!!

I sure he said it was milltek or was it Gruppe....will ask him next time I see him...thats if I can hear him over the noise.. :whistle:

I come from an E36 M3 Evo into the CSL and the difference is night and day...obviously.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/bazhugs/09.jpg

As far as the Miltek is concerned, I HAD a Gruppe M on before and THAT was noisy. I like the Miltek personally but it has got louder since a track day!

[DazBlackCSL]

Had a E46 M3 before the CSL (well still have) long story :whistle:

Before that X5 (yes I know ) and before that MCOUPE hmmmm

And 3 seconds of fame on top gear in it , the episode of sabine in the transit , as she pulls up to the barrier its me in front of her at the barrier .... blink and you'll miss it lol!

[cslbecks]

No doubt she kicked your ass Daz too!!!

[DazBlackCSL]

lol ! :hahaha:

Thats what everyone says , that lap was the one when she didnt strip it out , and think she did 11 secs or just over 10 ish ... that was my first ever trip in 05 and was doing mid 9's then ... so just stayed ahead :whistle:

[SpineOnABap]

I had a regular E46 M3 Coupe before the CSL. I got it in Feb 2002 and sold it in June 2003 when BMW emailed me to see if I really wanted the CSL - daft question :thumbs:

[GT TWO]

That Evo looks mental!

Loving the Elise too Andy!

I had a Z3M Coupe

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/GTTwo/6506572865.jpg

then a 996tt

and now the CSL and GT2 and hopefully a R26R soon :)

[NZ_M3]

2 previous E46 M3s (one Laguna Seca Blue, one silver grey) before the CSL ... I actually gave up my spot on the limited CSL run here in NZ and regretted it ... so had to snap one up the minute it came up for sale :-D have not looked back since.

Z3M Coupe was one of the cars I always wished I had bought...did you enjoy it...nice wheels by the way.

[DazBlackCSL]

Z3M was awesome , should never of sold it , so much fun
Would actually still have one, V nice one on pistonheads at the mo 2 with some Hartge wheels...

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/777475.htm

[englebert]

Yeah, like the Z3M but then its £13k for one with 100k on the clock, and £20k for a low mileage Z4M... easy decision for me.

Some really nice cars on this thread!

[cslgirl]

Came from an Audi S3 and a 1985 Astra GTE (my baby). I so have a soft spot for Astra GTE's. Used to have a 16v one when I was 21. Always wanted the limited ed with leather interior. Would still love to have one in my "fleet"!

[DazBlackCSL]

Ahh 16v Astra GTE :-D , that made me smile , had four of those in my 18-24 stage ... all colors , but not the Ltd Edition really wanted one of those too, Met steel grey was my Fav , had OZ super T 's on and up rated suspension as it was a bit of a challenge otherwise staying with my mates in 5 turbo's and 1.9 GTI's through the bends !!! Blew them away in a straight line

Fantastic cars! Well fast in the day. My now husband had a sierra cosworth and the GTE wasn't far off it from the lights! I have had a couple. Originally I had an Astra SR with a 1.8i engine (that was written off by some fool doing a uturn in front of us). Then had a 1990 burgandy 16v - same colour as the limited ed one but without all the niceness. Had some TSW wheels put on that. Then up until 4 years ago I had the 1985 red 1.8 gte which was written off when I let a friend use it for a while :banghead: I will have to dig out some pics of them ! I nearly bought one in steel grey too, it was owned by a semi-pro snooker player local to me. Had too much wrong with it though. I would love to own one again some day - thing is, they are/were going for quite a sum of money. Will have to see if this recession has brought the prices down! :thumbs:

[DazBlackCSL]

lol !

Think I saw a Ltd edition for sale on Piston Heads actually , and he was asking 3.5k too !

I only have old pics , none on digital camera , in my old car album :hahaha:
Also had a White MK1 , now white is back in too

3.5k ! Wow ! When we finally move later next year to the Isle of Wight and have a big garage, I may have to find some money for one as I will have the room then.

Scan the photos!!! That's what I will do - mine are all on ye old camera too! I will just have to try and find them without a pic of me in it in my 90's clothes and big hair!

My neighbour had a mk1 in rusty orange with a cherry bomb exhaust! :-D

Cheers spanner, it was alittle cracker and a famous little car. Was well known in Lotus circles as the Toxic Frog. Was the car used for the original EVO road test, for the advert in EVO and the original brochure. Also was on the front of classic car mag back in Feb 07.....Here's a few more pics.

Seriously, that's lovely. If you know where it is now and if the owner wants to move it on again in the next couple of years, try to drop me a message / e-mail.

I had a standard silver grey Elise several years ago and have missed it since the day I sold it. I would really like another elise in my little collection & that one does it for me!

Cheers

[Andyk]

It was up for sale around Sept/Oct. Not sure if it sold or he decided keep it.

This is the last mail I had from the chap. It may have sold but may be worth calling him as he will know where it went.

Just to let you know i have dropped the price from £12500 to £10995 for a quicker sale if you would like more details give me a ring on TEL 07710783894 - Name Mark Dodds.

Thanks Andy.

He sold it for not much more than £10k which does seem a bargain for it.

I will keep my eyes peeled for something like that again next year.

Yes that is cheap for the car that it is. I paid 12500 for it and sold it a year later for 12600. The chap who had it from me sold it for 12400 and then this chap just wanted to get rid of it so it went for 10000. I would have bought it back in a flash at that price...if the wife had let me that is. :whistle:

Alright Jon, welcome over. Good to see another member joining the 'more friendly' forum.

I am coming over for Christmas, bringing the car too so maybe bump into you, although not literally :banghead:

[englebert]

I like the Golfs, and that Alpine moulding into the trim piece is very clever!

[J13NY S]

Thanks Donk, ya the MK4… if that car could talk it could tell a story or 2!

I have a soft spot for the Dubs too englebert, I’d love a really mint MK2 G60. The remote was a lot more work than we first thought, thankfully the boys persevered for it turned out to be one of my favourite mods.

Look us up when you are over baz, don’t be expecting any Christmas presents from us tho, we’ve coilovers and cup tyres to buy before our next Ring trip at Easter.

[bryce]

I have come from a Mini Cooper S (kept it though)

I came from a S too, awesome little car. Totally un-modded though. I wanted a CSL after about 3months of owning the S, so it wasnt getting a penny spent on it!

My wife had a standard Cooper when they first came out and I must say that car was a alot of fun. Didn't want her to sell really but back then they sold at a profit even after a year of ownership. The Cooper S must have been even more fun.

[E46ACS]

Just got rid of my wifes CooperS. Cracking car. Like a go-kart with comfy seats. The whistle of the supercharger was great. And the power was imense for such a little thing.

Love the golfs J13NY S. Both of them, really nice.

[Andyk]

My wife did take an S out when they first came out. Wasn't a quick as I thought it would be after the standard Cooper but I think that was the Supercharger..much smother than a turbo....def quicker than the Cooper though...Lovely little car.

That sounds good to me! Are there no CSL meets or shows locally?
You're call, it may put me out of my misery. Where about are you Daz?

I was at the Luton Hoo Hotel last weekend and know of BHP round that area, but wasn't quite sure where it was. They have a few CSLs and Z4Ms to choose from. I called monday morning and continuously engaged for hours! Great shame...

Hehe it was a W reg renault laguna auto with 110,000 miles on it :-D

The local subaru drivers didnt know whether to laugh or give us the finger

It was decked out with spoilers/bucket seats/exhaust and livery all courtesy of ScoobyClinic, we did get a few looks when it went round the 'Ring and especially driving through France in one of their cars.

Sold it for £500 notes - bargin! :whistle: :-D

[bryce]

:hahaha: I didnt even notice it was a fake, can see it now though!

[2bar boost]

Sold my Evo IX GT last month after toying with the idea of getting a CSL/M5..

Decided against getting another car until the new year due to the so called economic down turn :whistle:

Good news is I listened to Gordon Brown for the first time and have decided to spend my way out of it and help the car dealers through a rough time :smt111 Pick up a nice SG on an 04 next tues :smt035

[SMD]

Top Choice mate!

Lots off the MLR on here now! :beer:

Anymore??

Have to admit just looking forward to running a standard car rather than wanting to keep spend, spend spend :-D
So any Supersprint deals about :hahaha:

[SMD]

LoL yes quite a few! :-D

Will you be doing much with the CSL! Track days, Ring Trips etc?

[2bar boost]

LoL yes quite a few! :-D

Still have my name down for the CAT driver training on the MLR.. Would like to feel my feet with RWD as it's been a while since my last before attempting track action :119:

Would love SPA/Ring trip even if just to spectate and enjoy the ambience :smokin: Will have to see how 09 pans out Si.

We have our son due in feb so the back seats will be perfect for keeping our 2 apart :smt051

[Andyk]

Seems lots have come from Evo's to CSL's......Good choice 2bar boost :thumbs:

[2bar boost]

Just seems like a natural progression especially now the CSL's are sub £30k..

Im sure I will be happy with the car and the register :beer:

[AlexGTT]

Thought it was about time I posted on this thread.

I had an E46 M3 before the CSL. A great car but the CSL is much more my cup of tea. Only thing I'd consider to replace it would be a GT3 RS but really can't justify the price difference. It's just not that much better than a CSL.

[Andyk]

Agree Alex the GT3 RS would be my choice after the CSL....That's if I was rolling in money that is.

[rs32]

2005 E46 M3 and before that Golf R32.

recently got an Audi bus to handle all the crappy short journeys - it's quite interesting getting in the CSL again when you don't use it every day :drool:

[glendog74]

I finally bothered myself to scan a couple of pics of my old Evo VI TME :whistle:

[1cosmicboy]

hi all
i sold my gp 4 rs1800 to get my csl ,just didnt have time or money for rallying anymore.only sound that comes close to a fuel injected bdg at 10,000 rpm is a csl ,but not quite .

[cslgirl]

I was looking through some old pics today and found some of my astra's! Not great quality (as the photo's are from the 90's and I haven't stored them nicely!) but you can see.

Here is my first SR (with 1.8sri engine) - It wasn't me that crashed it!! Can't find any pics of it intact! I cringe now, but it had a Sonic the Hedgehog graphic on the back.

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o16/cslgirl/P1010014.jpg

Next was the GTE 16v.

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o16/cslgirl/P1010007-1.jpg

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o16/cslgirl/P1010013.jpg

Wonder if it is still going... Is there somewhere I can check the reg of G600 DPK?

This was my last one which I gave to a friend on a sort of loan but he crashed it for me and wrote it off. Just an 8v but I was the second owner and it had only done 45000 miles when crashed... gutted!

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o16/cslgirl/P1010008.jpg

[Andyk]

I had one of those...red one at bottom...along with every other hot hatch from the 80's...205 GTI was my fav

[E46ACS]

I had a Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider. :smokin:

Still one of my favourite cars I have owned, and I have owned a few!!! I know mine is still going as a mate saw it in a car park a few months back. I've told him next time he sees it to stick a note on the windscreen so I can buy it back!

[cslgirl]

Those were the days eh!! There were a few of us who would go out for a drive :smokin: , one had a white renault turbo, another friend had a steel grey one, there was a 1.9 GTI and my now husband had a sierra cosworth. :thumbs:

[DazBlackCSL]

Gonna dig out my old pics and scan of those 16v days !!

[Mark CSL]

I had an MG mistro TURBO
It had 184bhp at the wheels it was faster than the cosworths at the time
i shall dig out the pix
Looked like this

I sold this to buy the CSL, ironically I looked at a CSL 5 years ago when I bought the Z4...

I sold this.

I had really liked the E46 M3 for many years, I enjoyed the convertible but fancied a change, so I bought the CSL. I also bought this for the summer as I liked having a convertible so much, I'm getting it on the road now.

[73CSL]

love the SL .. what engine ?

[MisterCorn]

love the SL .. what engine ?

It is the 3l straight six. It has just had all of the bodywork sorted out and a coolant flush and refill. I am now changing fuel oil and air filters, oil, transmission fluid, diff oil, power steering fluid, spark plugs and leads. Basically giving it a 'proper' service before it is put in to service. I suspect some of these fluids will have been in for the last 25 years. It is a September 1989 cars so one of the last made, currently on just under 100k miles. There are a few jobs which need doing on it but I'm mainly going to use it for getting to work and back and top down journeys in the summer. I would have been happy with a V8 or the straight 6, it was more a case of which one was in good condition and at the right price.
