Electrics cars may be the way forward but I doubt very much that they could ever replace the feeling someone gets when driving something like this. An absolute classic.

Oh Peter, Peter, Peter, you are such a cruel man! That. CSL took me back to when I was 11 years old. My late father was the PDI Manager for BMW Concessionaires Ltd. Like every 11 year old boy I was a car nut (nothing has changed there). Dad came home telling me about this stunning car that had just arrived. The following day after school I cycled down to BMW Concessionaires Headquarters in Chiswick High Road and there was this amazing car in the same yellow colour as the one in your video. The sad thing is that I never got a ride in one.

Couldn’t agree more Pete, to me, that era of Beemer is the best, just looks so good . I remember an ex boss of mine had a 2002tii and it was so ahead of its time. Munich Legends have some gorgeous cars in, about 5 miles from me over on Ashdown Forest. From a neighbours experience with them when he had a 8 series that needed some work doing, they are extremely fair too.

There was a standard 3.0 CSi abandoned in the Vauxhall London Tesco car park.. In around 2002? Don't think even the Tesco is still there, if indeed it was a Tesco. I looked at it in its silver coachwork, quite a few times wondering,. It would have cleaned up well, looking like a decent straight car. Who does that? This is indeed the coolest BMW ever made, absolutely no doubt, 2002, no, M1 comes closest, but isn't beautiful like this. The 700 is lovely, don't like the 507 styling so much. Of the more modern era, the M3(E30) is best. Saying that the only BMW I had was a 2000 Lux 67 which was also very nice and I preferred the styling over the very similar 2002. Then I went for Minis and Triumphs. Then Fiats and Alfas.. then zzzzzzzz. Cars. Jeez.
