M3csl

Good morning fellas
I trust that everyone had an awesome weekend and those lovely cars are treating you well :rollsmile:
Sooo I had this dream years back when I had a e46M3 for 2 months, of owning a csl. but wasn't man enough to play with the rear wheel drive yet hence changing to the gti (was a pu$$¥ :fencelook: )
Well ever since the second attempt it has been nothing but amazing and over the course of the weekend and last week I learned I might be able to get something I've always dreamed of, the amazing M3 csl :joy:
I have no intention of letting go of my 135 as it can remain a daily, I've been thinking of getting a different daily and keeping the 135 for special occasions but after finding out about my promotion as you know things change and might be able to live one of my dreams raise:
Now here's it, I've been looking but haven't found a single csl for sale or even hints of available ones :thumbdo:
Does anybody here have one or know of one that might be for sale and also what i can expect to pay for it?
I even went back to looking at decent late model e46 M3s but it's just not the same :nonono:
A friend of mine asked me why not just opt and get a decent early e92? The answer is No! It still is not a CSL and also its just something about that S54 6cylinder that gets my blood going :inlove: :inlove: the V8 is awesome but doesn't quite have the character the S54 has IMO.
Als I know the s54 is prone to rod bearing failure, was this also an issue on the csl? I intend on replacing rod bearings, water pump, oil pump and vanos service regardless of the condition, be it an e46 or an e92, just for peace of mind :thumbs:
Also anything else to look out for on these cars?
Any help would be much appreciated and I wish everyone an awesome week ahead :thumbs:

I get you, it was a dream of yours and you best follow through with it, no exceptions! :thumbs:

What condition are you looking for? Are you trying to find an extremely clean, well taken care of car? Or something that needs a bit of TLC to get to where you want it?

That's the thing boss, it's just one of those things :inlove:

Preferably a clean, well maintained car, I wouldn't be too upset with one that needs a little attention as I understand it's a very rare care and you kinda need to take what you can get, or am I wrong?
Most importantly, the car needs to have ALL the original exterior body parts, no accident damage. I don't want a car with a normal m3 fender or rear window , trunk , etc.
Mechanical I would like the same, if the car has an exhaust or any type of modifications I don't really mind but would like to know exactly what, who did it, when it was done.
One thing I don't want is a car that's been pulled through someones backside and will just end up a money pit :nonono: :thumbdo:

Yeah true.
Guess just your bad luck tho, found 3 for sale about a month back. Now absolutely nothing! :fishwack:

Another thing that would be utterly AMAZING!!! Is if I could get number 5, 11, 33 or 54. I know it's HIGHLY unlikely but would just be a massive bonus :=):
