Discussion
I was offered one yesterday. Apparently a few cancelled orders and they are physical cars. If I don’t take the slot it will go back to BMW.
Basically I declined on the basis it’s a really nice car but the premium over a CP is just too big. The CP is just short of a good suspension tune (litchfiels, birds) from a proper proper car. And the other tweaks are mainly cosmetic and not sure worth the 30-40k difference.
It’s not like a GT4 versus the vanilla caymans. In any case, might live to regret it but it does not feel like a CSL was to the normal M3 so to speak. And the fact they are struggling to allocate cars is telling. Shame. At 60k it would have made more sense than 75k.

Absolutely spot on. Basically I declined on the basis it’s a really nice car but the premium over a CP is just too big. The CP is just short of a good suspension tune (litchfiels, birds) from a proper proper car. And the other tweaks are mainly cosmetic and not sure worth the 30-40k difference.

£60k is far more realistic.
I’m on the hunt for a nice M2 Comp myself.
Coming from my MK7 R Golf stage 2 of course BBK, suspension done Um now looking for more of a weekend car which will be a keeper until I’m too old for such cars!
I did consider a nice low miler M4 Comp but I’ve yet to try either.

It was an error. The car was already sold to a customer and shouldn't have appeared in the central stock list.
Perfect spec too.
Not sure whether that is true, as I was told that a customer had ordered it and had been waiting 12 months for delivery.Perfect spec too.
However on Wednesday morning he rang to cancel as he was relocating abroad!!
Then then secured a sale on the car a few hours later.

Oh well. I trust my source, dealt with them for many years. But you may trust yours. Who can tell hey? However on Wednesday morning he rang to cancel as he was relocating abroad!!

Anyhoo, shame it's sold. The finance figures even offered a £4.5k contribution.

My only source were the 2 salesmen who I spoke to whilst trying to place a deposit on the car.
