Sorry if I offended you with my powerflex opinion. I have used their products before and found them a bit too much for me. But I am in my 40s

Introduce myself... Do you want a selfie?

The fact is ( this is based on my actual, personal experience of both OE & Powerflex RTAB back to back) there is no difference in road feel or manners... my only reason for fitting Powerflex RTAB bushes... the "Black serious" ones, which are superior quality to the bubble gum purple crap Powerflex sell to boy racers, was longevity & consistent reliability as the OEM ones are of poor design and deteriorate very quickly through corrosion as they are made of cheep rubber & aluminium which oxidises, expands and spits the rubber inner out about every 3 years or 30K miles. My CSL has had 3 set of OEM RTAB (changed under warranty) and I just got fed up having to put another inferior OEM RTAB.
Further more, if you think stock CSL is smooth and comfortable on the commute you Sir are very much mistaken and might want to consider the softer option, a stock E46 M3 with heated leather and softer suspension
As for my Cecil... I personally think the real problem for you is it's way too clean for your planed usage... as you've already indicated you like them dirty & hanging and mine is the solar opposite of what you're after
BTW isn't time you've introduced yourself ? We won't bite

I think the Powerflex on the CSL just give it a harsh ride, ruin the subframe quicker and give you nothing else.

As long as you have RTAB plates you have doen all you need to do unless you make it a racer with a cage

Rear trailing arm bush plates

placed either side of the oem RTAB to give the arm a little extra support.

Garage queens are not for me.

I think Matt's car is lovely but it is probably too hard for me. I want OEM suspension not Powerflex. Just a personal preference but every Powerflex car I have driven on the road is wonderfully direct but transmits all the road imperfections.
For me I think the standard CSL is good enough for the road.

SSS

using your csl daily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy retro csl ownership.

welcome SSS,

there are a few of us left here you use and occasionally abuse our csl's.

It's what they were designed for

Oh good God no a real first name will do

No offence taken re: powerflex ... I'm merely correcting your invalid opinion of my CSLs perceived harshness

Yes, I once read somewhere "not putting miles on your car is like not have sex with your girlfriend so she will be more desirable to her next boyfriend"

I want to use it, enjoy it and (forgive me: put a normal drivers seat in it) and enjoy it.
Hence looking for a "used" one.

If I lose a few grand after I sell it then so be it. Life is short

No need to change the drivers seat for daily imho. I find the csl seats better than the ones in my 520 msport.
