The Holy Grail of BMW'dom.
This is why I get steamed up when people call that overweight accounts-mobile piece of M3 tat a CSL. It isnt. Its metrosexual drivel for the family man compared to the real thing.
Are you dissing the base M3 or M3 CSL?This is why I get steamed up when people call that overweight accounts-mobile piece of M3 tat a CSL. It isnt. Its metrosexual drivel for the family man compared to the real thing.
The M3 CSL is one of the very finest cars out there, that has ever been. Similar orgasm quotient to a GT3.
I have been (driven) in two, all too briefly.
The B12 6.0 E-Kat is one of the barge fancier's ultimate quandries.
It is indeed one of the finest manifestations of the creed, period but the relative ubiquity of its origin - like all Alpina fare - renders critical committment the very epitome of indecisive action.
It is, basically, a very, very nice E38 750 - it just is. I know the 30/30/30 Buchloe rule as well as any but this is getting on for four, or at least three, times the value of (what one hopes would be!) a nice version of the 'base V12' version from Munchen.
Moreover, the MkI E65/6 760 is routinely found for several k less and whichever way the slicing occurs, that moved the game on.
The B10 V8 suffers the same overvaluing issue but at half the asking. I genuinley think one or two of the nice E39 variants suggested are 'better buys' but the whole thing is very subjective.

Herr Trömster, such aesthetic affectations rise above the simple analysis pertaining to commonly held interpretations of taste, to assume a fondly appreciable, stylistic pecadillo which fulfills superbly, the brief of 'being a German with a penchant for lederhosen.'
An automotive form of when in Rome; or perhaps, 'get with the program.'
When Norfolk briefly returned my old B5 with full war paint, it made enormous sense.

Charlemagne, if a cartoon woluff handed you some dynamite labelled 'ACME' with some coiled wired attached, linked to a small, ticking, mechanical clock, would you shove it down your pantalons with the same vigour and enthusiasm normally reserved for a similar delve in that gleeful, monthly moment when the brown wrappered envelope, slyly labelled Razzle, in red, drops through yon letter box?
One can run, or one could run, screaming.
