RE: BMW M Coupe: Spotted
Discussion
I really like like the look of these cars and ran one a few years ago now. But I didn't like the fact it aquaplaned at the slightest sniff of water and the leather seats were really unsupportive and slidy so I spent a fair amount of time trying to get my ar& out of the footwell.
I would still have another one though...

The engineers were bored with modifying and trying to make their boring family car exciting and wanted to build an interesting car with character and try something different...thank god! 
Each to their own but to dismiss a CSL as a boring modified family car is, IMHO, way, way off the mark...Rolffsen said:

Saw this one recently in Manchester, the colour was stunning
Err. That's my car. Please don't tell me you've seen it in Manchester recently, as I don't think it's been far from my house in Leicestershire in the last 11 months...By recently I mean late August last year. I had gone to the Bridgewater Hall to see my daughter's graduation.
Walking back to the car park afterwards, I saw your car parked down a side street with literally half a dozen people around it taking photos.
My photo doesn't do the colour justice - in reality it is absolutely stunning

This view right here is why I bought mine. Which is mint with 22k on the clock in carbon black with red leather. Gives me a boner just saying it 
I hate to disappoint you but that's not carbon black 
k me. You're right. So either I'm a colour blind sucker or you can't follow a thread? Or both.I had a Roadster - nice car but handling was floppy and the engine (S50) lacked character low down the rev range.
The Coupe looks fab from behind and is such a bizarre, uniquecar that I understand why prices have gone the way they have. I don't think they're good value when you think about what else you can buy for the money, but that's the nature of a speculative market.

The colour varies from being a green that I don't particularly like thru gold to a yellowy gold. It's the sun that makes the colour, I guess that's why it's called Phoenix Yellow. By recently I mean late August last year. I had gone to the Bridgewater Hall to see my daughter's graduation.

It's a characterful car. The gearing is a bit too long if I'm being picky.

He was actually using it as his work van, with a roof rack on the top and all his tools in the back. I thought it looked brilliant! That was my first hint that tradesmen prices in London were going to be a bit higher than those in the Midlands...fancy turning up on site in that.

I have a Laguna Seca Blue Z3M Coupe and what amazes me is how much positive reaction it gets….often at petrol stations etc folk will ask what model it is and say they love it.
I’ve seldom had any positive reaction in my Porsche.
great and rare color, worth a premium.I’ve seldom had any positive reaction in my Porsche.
I once had such in my phoenixyellow s54 M coupe (Z3) when I was out in a city and returned to my car, I had to look something up on my phone, a couple of young people came over to my car, knocked on the side window to talk, hey mister, what kind of kar is this, is it a new prototype :-) and wow nice car, they loved it.
I said no, its just an old car (ok not that old at the time) not many made of.
this one back then
