Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 He should see what these are going for in Germany!! Easily double what this guy sold his for (in my opinion far too cheap). Bargain this one whoever bought it. I do have a concern about owning one of these to be honest now, as so many parts are now NLA, you'd almost need a car and a spare just to keep one running in the future. Shame really. But I guess that's one way these are appreciating. I am seriously contemplating pulling the motor out of mine and putting it on an engine stand and putting a stock S54 in there and tune it to run as a CSL given I have all the tools and knowledge to do so. Blow one of these engines up and you'll never get another one now. Which particular parts are NLA and of concern to you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1044 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 Most of the parts though are the same as other e30s.... So not really that hard to find. Unless you're talking about e34 m50 sumps. .... Lol Nah all of the nz motorsport (bespoke hood / roof liners etc) stuff and sports panels. You can't by them anymore new and there is next to no second hand stock around with out finding a capper to pull apart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But main drive line and suspension parts (things that might actually break) are the same. Anyway, all of that's changed on yours anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 15, 2016 Fark, so unless someone stumps up with 120 large we lose another piece of motoring history to overseas interests. So, how about a syndicate purchase?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 15, 2016 Told my dad to buy it as an investment. Wonder what these will be worth in a few years time! He was skeptical unfortunately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bloody sight more than they sell for now! In my eyes an unmolested CSL is the only true successor to the E30 EVO - all the good stuff with none of the junk you don't really need. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my eyes an unmolested CSL is the only true successor to the E30 EVO - all the good stuff with none of the junk you don't really need. The M3 CSL is a great drive and a very capable track day car, but it doesn't get off the ground heritage wise compared to the E30 M3. The E30 M3 was homologated to go racing. Its the most successful touring car of all time. The M3 CSL has no racing heritage as such. On another note, people seem to clap on about black CSL's and how rare they are. Silver Grey looks way better and shows the lines of the car so much better. Is the black rarer because it was less popular than Silver Grey? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2963 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 WIthout the CSL wheels... WTF? Why would you put the non-CSL M3 wheels on it. I think the genuine CSL wheels are still available, but not cheap. CSET should buy it to put his wheels on it and make it all complete!! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
