Happy Birthday Cecil
 

Exactly 10 years ago to this day, My SG CSL (DU53 VAY) was born :smt055 With it's stearing wheel on the wrong side ;) it was destined for our little island.
Happy Birthday chap :partyman: and well done... you've finally earned your Modern Classic car status :thumbs: ... and your newly refurbished flippers :-D

Nice one Matt:partyman:

Cheers Bret :beer: when is yours celebrating his BIG 10 ?

Happy birthday DU53VAY :thumbs::hahaha:

1st of September :)

Think mine is December

You can use this website... http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html ... to find out exact speck and build date for you Cecil :smt023

Belated Cecil birthday wishes :) :-D

:beer: IIRC yours is only a couple of days away from the BIG 10 :partyman:

Yup! 18th... beers chilling in readiness - although a celebratory drive first... then beer lol!

:partyman: I think that's the right order ?! :partyman:

Happy birthday DU53VAY:thumbs::beer:

Happy Birthday DU53 VAY :wink:

December for me :thumbs:

Cheers Rob, Martin, Chris :beer:

Happy birthday that Cesil. One more month to go for mine!

One of three out the door that day. I presume your chassis ends in 8?

Happy birthday. Better check when mine's birthday is

That is correct :-D BTW, were they all UK CSLs that day ?

Yes, all 3 of them and all SG too! :hahaha:
Mass production 'M' style!

Yes all three RHD cars with that build date were UK spec. Your older brother is grey and your younger brother is black.

Seven LHD cars are shown with that build date, 3 were Japanese and the remainder for Europe.

Good to know mine was the middle one out of the 3 RHD Cecils that day :thumbs: and it shows as it's a great car :notworthy: even after 10 years of service.
They must have practiced their assembly skills on the SG morning build older brother, to warm up & perfect the build on my one :) only to hurry the SB younger brother afternoon build ;) before knocking off work for a cold beer :beer: :-D

No... the last RHD Cecil of that day was SB :blalalala:
BTW Neil, when is your CSL celebrating his BIG 10 ? :whistle:

No, it went grey, grey (yours) then black.

Got Ya :smt023 previous posts amended :-D

4.12.2003 for mine

Seeing as you're asking Matt, 'Wolfie' is 10 on the 23rd :)

Mine's not till 4th December, registered on the 23rd :)

Mine has the options 'S818A battery master switch and S850A additional export tank filling' going by the bmw model archive posted on page one, god knows what the tank extra tank filling is.......

Your Cesil shares a Birthday with 'sailorbaz'
PS: They all do!

Funny to know they once sat side by side in the factory !

As for the 'options' on that site list it appears they aren't really options then :-D

23rd of this months ? What's your reg BTW ? ;)

Its my CSL's birthday today :thumbs:

Woo! Hoo! Congrats :beer: Spirited celebratory drive on the cards by any chance ? :whistle:

might have a run up into the dales :supz: .. although last time resulted in my 1st ever 3 points in over 20 years of driving !!! :bigcry:

More fuel in the tank for cars that have to travel under their own steam further before hitting the dealers.

:partyman: If you do, take some pix and share them with us please :-D

Commiseration re: the points :( ... on a plus side, what a COOL way to earn them though :notworthy:

Interesting!
