1M - A few questions?
Discussion
Having loved my CSL (even though I was the one who lost it in a car park for two weeks), am I making a mistake trying to substitute it with a 1M? if I take the plunge, will my residuals be hampered by acquiring one WITHOUT Sat Nav? And on the subject of prices, will they stay as strong as the CSL did (and still seems to do)? Thoughts would be appreciated.
Why not a C2S? Because I've had one, loved it, paid for the experience and ticked the box. In fact the only car that has ever interested me other than our friends from Stuttgart was the CSL but the prices for those cars at nearly 10 years old and ragged to death are just madness. The points KMPowell make are the exact ones that lead me to think that the 1M will, in 2 years time, be worth much more than an M3/C2S bought for the same price today.

Why do you think they've all been ragged to death? And would you say the same about 996 & 997 GT3s, and think they're overpriced too, or how about other rare special stuff? Seems a bit of a strange comment from someone who used to own a CSL
Not really. Show me an "as new" CSL with 2,000 miles on the clock and 1 owner for £37,000 and I'd consider it over the 1M. All the ones I've seen look and feel 8 years old...because they are! Great Pretender said:
Well the GT3 is in a different league again. Anyway we're talking a few hundred quid here, not thousands upon thousands. After all, the 1M is a good bit more to run than your average £40k exec diesel saloon...
However, give me a year and I'll tell you what it's like to run the GT3.
Back when the world was not on its knees, I was lucky enough to own a Mark 1 GT3 and a 996 Turbo S. Both I used every day and as you can imagine, one I kept much longer than the other. Both were "out of this world" cars and I feel privileged to have owned them. The 1M will be a day to day car which my recent C2S was. Strange as it seems I found the BMW so much more exciting than the Porsche. Perhaps senility beckons?However, give me a year and I'll tell you what it's like to run the GT3.
