gc8r 38 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 So I've been resigned to losing M3 Power's old E46 M3 so decided to look abroad. Would it make any sense to bring in a E46 M3 Silverstone edition from the UK and would that be as rare as the lovely CS and CSL in this country hoping that it will hold its prices better here than it would else where? Looks like its only a cosmetic change rather than any upgrades mechanically so I am well aware of that but the 50 only in the world does appeal to me greatly What would you guys recommend? Wait out for a nice M3 or bring a limited edition from the UK (pending all checks are good) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 I wouldn't bother. Personally I think they look a bit naff. If you were going to the effort I'd look to get a CS or CSL from the UK but if memory serves me right (which it may not) you need a SIV permit to import them now. If it were me I'd hold out locally.

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted July 30, 2015 CSL is much more than just a carbon roof and a cool name over a normal M3. I'd suggest waiting for a CSL, these are appreciating nicely here and prices are heading stratospheric overseas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

philwalter 30 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 Importing not quite so attractive now with the dollar slipping. I had plans of bringing something back with me this year, but I think cheaper to buy here if you are prepared to be patient. So this would be around a NZD$40k car landed http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/e46-m3-00-06/--silverstone-edition--1-of-only-50-ever-made--bmw-secret-production-run--fsh--hpi-clear--2-owners/4508613 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
