Yes, I think I know you. I live in Hitchin. Friends with Sanjay who has a CSL. Wife is now looking in the loft for all the original paperwork when I bought the car from Specialist Cars in Stevenage. The car I wished I'd never sold. Would love to buy it back. Got a Valencia Orange 1M at the moment.

Ah ha! Looks like you looked after it very well sir, your name is all over the history file

. It's surely testament to the CSL that 10 years on you still have a passing interest. Are you considering buying again?

That was the letter I received from BMW when I tried to get on the list for a CSL and was more or less told 'tough'. Most of the CSLs were reserved by speculators who thought the car would sell for around £50k new. This letter came to me before they announced they were going to be £60k and when the speculators found out they all jumped ship. All of a sudden I went from sixth on the list to second at Specialist Cars and BMW then couldn't leave me alone. I was one of the very few original customers that paid £60k for a new CSL and many of the original 440+ CSLs then sat at Thorne unsold. To my dismay they then reduced the price to around £50k for a new one at the beginning of 2004.
I treasured this car from new and had the AP brakes fitted at Murketts. When I sold the car it had carbon mirrors, steering wheel, gear shift surround, paddle flaps and OEM carbon radio blank.
I would like to buy it back but the wife said I would have to sell the 1M. I couldn't bring myself to do that so sorry I'm not in the market for it.

Great to see an original owner popping up after all these years. Hope I can keep hold of mine forever. Next plan is get her front end tarted up (Armourfend looking a little tired now) and fit some cups for the OEM look. Im doing 1k per year max so may as well run cups.

Good luck with the sale. good ad. Mine is almost the exact spec of yours, brakes mileage etc. I had no shortage of interest when I advertised and later bottled. Im sure it wont hang around for long.

Sold.

Could have sold 10 of them if I had them. Best of luck to the new owner. It's staying in Ireland.

E46CSL · 15-05-2013, 07:31 PM

Well done. Great spec.

Nice one Barry, what are you planning on getting in NYC? Lots of tasty porkers over that side of the Atlantic
