    That gash yellow is the best colour! Or black with red leather.
    Beaten by an XE Nova??

    If it had TBs and a 50 shot perhaps...

    Ben, join up on m3cutters website, alot of false info on this thread!, they can suffer from many faults most of which are costly, I would not buy another one that's for sure. Problem is people can afford to buy them now but forget this was a 40k car, the parts are still the same price.
    In 2 years of ownership myne split a powersteering pipe, £200, cracked boot floor, got this done under warranty, you don't need fbmwsh to get it done, new alternator, new springs as rear cracked. Then to top it off it dropped a bearing in the vanos unit and wrecked the engine, wanted 5k to sort, worrying thing is most are common faults that they can all suffer from, it's pot luck!
    Alot also have blown head gaskets but don't know it, you get no obvious symptoms other than a slight metallic rattle low in the rev range under load.

    Maybe not beaten, but i know you can keep up with one.
    You can stay on it's ass in 2nd, 3rd and a part of 4th gear with a 172hp xe nova..

    Power to weight ratio is almost the same.

    The CSL had carbon roof, carbon airbox, carbon trim and recaro pole positions
    with no rear seats.
    CSL is 4 seater.
    so is the csl a 2 seater or a 4 seater, a little bit of contradiction going on!

    Possibly a REAL CSL has only two seats..... but the type of person who rocks up to a dealer demanding the top of the range car, to then realise its got no creature comforts soon adds in the parts that shouldnt be fitted
