Rumour has it, that on the 4th of august 2004 a businessman took a trip from London to Reading to pick up his brand new E46 M3 CSL.

He then drove his car back home, putting only 37 miles on the clock before parking it up at an undisclosed, monitored underground car park in London, and leaving it there.

This M3 CSL has been parked here since the day it was collected in 2004. It’s never had an MOT, never had any sort of service and has only ever seen daylight the one day it was driven here.

It’s been clamped, twice, by what i’ve been told was a private company prior to the private clamping law change in 2019. We assume the owner of the car lost contact with the parking space owner during the two decade since it’s been here.

The front right wheel is scuffed, probably by the notoriously blind, tall and tight curbs that grace the entry of every underground car park in the city.

The rear bumper has taken a whack, presumably by someone failing miserably to navigate themselves back up the car park ramp. We assume the front driver’s wing mirror was wounded here as collateral damage too.

Tecords indicate a mysterious driver change in 2013, but the car stayed put. Perhaps it was handed down to a family member for whatever reason. It’s not all forgotten though, as recently the 2004 tax disc in the window got flipped to hide the numbers.

Is this one of the lowest mileage csls in the world? will it ever see the road again?
