Did anyone ever get round to driving a CSL?
I need dissuading, terrible on motorways aren't they?
There's been a few CSs pop up now, varying prices and specs, I think it might be just the compromise I'm looking for.
My other question is, would it be madness to spend top money on an absolute minter and not expect it's value to plummet over the next couple of years as the V8s become cheaper?

I went to look at one Graham, but didn't have time to drive it. Wasn't in good condition so I wasn't very motivated
Probably the best road / track car I could think of, moreso that a GT3 which is a bit more track biased imo.

He was on the France trip I did last year, certainly wasn't complaining about it.
You should just go and buy one

You can then budget on it retaining 60% of what you paid for it over 4years - based on what I have just done
Get the proper BMW warranty, maintain it, and budget another £1500 a year to spend on the car (before standard running costs)
My one concern would be paying £20K for an E46
I'd think I'd want to be paying a little less

I've thought about it some more, I'm not buying a CSL
It's just not the right car for the job. If I was to take a break from racing and planned to do more track days it might make sense.
Putting motorway miles on something that special would be a crime IMO.
Another time maybe.
