I bought a brand new 2003 CSL today!!

**edylcreyob** · 11-05-2010, 01:35 PM

I was referred here as I had posted on M3 site but its great to find a CSL specific group

I found a 900km, Dec 2003 build CSL for sale last week and immediatley dumped my C63 Mercedes of 8 weeks and bought it today

Story goes like this...

First owner, an Aussie, lived in Singapore for what was supposed to be 2 years, saw a CSL overseas and decided he had to have one when he returned to Aust. Got his partner to find one in Australia which was the last of the 24 cars bought in to Australia. It supposed to be "engine unrestricted" you guys might help me out as to what that actually means.

He buys the car and has it put in to storeage till he returns only he is still in Singapore 6 years later.

Car has done 900km, thats right 900km, on the roller at the storeage facility has never actually been driven on the road ever as it got to the facility via tow truck.

I paid about 2/3 of new car price from 2004.

Looking forward to checking it out and changing all fluids and then running it in!!!!!!!

It has the radio and air con as did all cars that made it to Australia its too hot without air con over here

No pics yet don't collect till Friday.

Well done I'm envious of you, I would buy another low miler if I could find one.

And welcome

That is Mega mate

congratulations

Lowest I have heard and I thought Cosmicboys car was low on miles.....

Unrestricted means the 155 mph limiter was removed at factory - something owners could have done if they could produce racing licence....so it'll now do 250 mph

Glad to see you made it over here Clyde, cant wait for pics as the car must literally be showroom fresh.

Lucky, how dod you come across that, not bad price either.

Suprised NZ didn't buy it for spares

**edylcreyob** · 11-05-2010, 02:20 PM

It was advertsied on an internet car selling site in Australia and first in wins!!!! Of course its RHD so probably makes it even rarer I guess, anyone know how many RHD v LHD they made???

Bottom end re-build, it's in the tea leaves! Unless the man from BMW comes round, I hear he ain't like the man from Del Monte!

Congratulations for the new car

I know from BMW Motorsport that Rossi bought a brand new CSL couple of years ago.
BMW Motorsport found it locked up in the basement of some dealer and gave it to Rossi.

On this note, we should ask Valentino to join our forum
