red leather, mileage will put some people off.

If it was 20k miles, and black leather I would have been interested but no more than late teens.

£13k sounds about right.

You would be extremely lucky to find one with 20k mileage. The lowest mileage ones i know of are in the 30 plus mileage range. Nothing wrong with red leather IMO is nice. Manual should be plus point when comes to selling.

I seem low mileage 30k plus M3 CS selling/retailing at £16k plus. Even £18k.

How many owners is yours ?

Mind you other 30k mileage M3s are retailing at £16k you would have thought the M3 CS would command a premium.

M3 CS is the bargain of the E46 M3 range IMO. Fantastic reviews, limited edition, available in both gearboxes .... Being relatively unknown by Joe Bloggs

I reckon it will sell for anywhere between £12-£14k.

One with galactic mileage went for £9/£10k on cutters fairly recently.

Manual is a big plus for some and the interior is an easy swap so I can't imagine any problems on that front smile

Sorry to hijack thread but what is the difference with the CS model.

I'm aware of the CSL but this is obviously different.

P.s I like the red leather!

I'd take the red leather over black any day with one of these.

Hi mate.

The cs is rarer than the csl.

There are only 200 left in the country.

80k is nothing on these cars and the cs is so much better than the stanadard m3 with the CSL steering rack, CSL wheels, CSL Brakes, CSL headers and brakes etc.

Obviously the interlagos blue are the most wanted and the manual ones but you should put that up for sale for a miminim of 14k..for the rarity alone.

Its a shame theres an influx of fake csl wheels on standard m3s but the CS is special because it came that way as standard and demands a premium.

Theres hundreds of m3s fir sale but only a couple of CS from time to time.

Stick your to your guns and wait for the right M enthusiast...
