BMW M3 CSL

Yes.

Epic mileage ones still fetch 20k!

Sub 40k mileage examples close to 30k. As BMW have not made a better M car since or one with a better engine note these cars will sit in the 20-30k price mark dependent on mileage for the forseeable future. :)

Pristine cars fetch in the region of 35k, thats more than E92 M3's sell for.
 
Yes. All you have to do is drive one to understand/appreciate what it's all about. Once you get the "flap" open and barking, you will not want to leave the car again, ever.

I'm not sure they'll appreciate much in the short term, but good examples will certainly hold their value.
 
From time to time I still get the temptation too ***** 30k on a completely pristine CSL and outfit it with AP's all round, two sets of wheels with SuperSports for the road and CUPs for trackdays.

Problem is I don't want to part with the Porsche as from memory the Porsche is the better road car, more capable too, but the CSL is the better and more capable track car.

One thing for sure my 911 will and is loosing money, a CSL would not loose me hardly a penny, but at the same time I love the 911, so for now it stays. :)
 
I'm thinking about selling my E92 because I am going to have to start a daily 70 mile commute, so I fancy buying a cheap focus for the job and putting the E92 money into a CSL. In a lot of ways I still prefer the E46 to the E92.
 
I think what a lot of people seem to forget when they bang on about how amazing it is that the M3 CSL is still worth £25k on average is how much they cost in the first place. It was a car that was almost £60,000.

The differential now between a used M3 and an identical age/mileage M3 CSL is less than the difference between the two cars when they brand new.

Much of the high price now is because of the high price in the first place.

A little, but not much imo.

Imo, the CSL commands a premium because of what it is, how it does what it does & how relatively rare they are.

I don't think the higher list price when new has a great deal to do with it tbh.
 
hmm I'm not so sure it would, take the m6 for example, in my minds eye doesnt hold a candle to the old 635csi, just because a car is newer and faster doesnt make it a future classic. If anything the added safety devices, computers and additional comfort just serve to remove yourself from the real heart of the car.

imo

They havent moved price in about 3 years though
 
A guy near me had a pristine looking CSL for a few years that he used for track days. It had a carbon fibre bonnet/boot with the CSL wheels in anthracite. Looked bloody awesome.
