What did you do Shimmy ?

PS : a lot of people from UK fall into the trap, they don't know how strict the Swiss are

New price of the M3 E46 was aprox. 90k CHF. 30k is 30% of the original price.

80k CHF is 53k GBP which is close to what the M3 CSL used to cost in UK brand new.
So I personally find the 20k GBP very low, which is good for the people in UK, but it doesn't really reflect the target group of this car.

when the csl was released the exchange rate was 2.3/2.4 chf to 1 gbp, and at that time a csl in switzerland worked out to roughly 55k gbp. the chf to pound rate was the same at 2.3/2.4 chf to 1 gbp for as long as i can remember and im 30. its only in the past few years the chf has miraculously strengthened to 1.5 chf to 1 gbp. if you look at it like that the csl in switzerland has only depreciated 2k gbp since it was released.

so thats not really a fair comparison.
