How many miles in on your CSL ?

[Straightsix]

I been looking at the classifieds lately and noticed there are some very low mileage CSLs and some more normal and also high mileage ones.

Just wondered how many miles and how many owners there CSLs had :-) ?

[shimmy]

[RSJP]

[Chrispy]

[cslgirl]

A smidge over 35k. The bmw dealer principal is down as the first owner to 3k and then it was mine.

[Das Chin]

But because of that, it makes me think twice now before using it - and also where I use it- although the roads are pretty shite over here.

it is, in the words of Gollum, "my precious" lol !

Get it used Lesa! :bigcry:

[97rsr]

Being CSLgirls other half, and all I get to do is clean the CSL and keep the servicing all in check, I will be looking to buy another CSL (in SB) in the next few years (4) hopefully. So can you keep the mileage down on all SB CSL's please because I will want to use it daily and also track it so we can keep this one standard and sparkly for special occasions :) Good things come to those that wait :thumbs:

[97rsr]

We put most of those miles on it during the first 3 years of owning it. She came every where with us. Then it started to hold its value and the word "cult" started to be used in conversations about CSL's. Then a couple of kids and down to one wage for a few years restricted what we could do. We didn't mean to keep the mileage down, it was just the way the cookie crumbled. Now we accidentally have an investment. Its not immaculate, but it is as it came out the M factory. Standard with the original floor pan, it has never been modified except the noisy exhaust that we love. Number two will be a modified one ready for heavy use, can't wait really :)

[mick csl]

49k and 2 owners ( only problem lhd :-D)

[Equinox]

31,000 makes me feel really low reading this thread

[digi]

23k miles (technically I was owner 3, but I changed it 2 additional times from personal to company). HK is small so don't get upset.

[Pip1968]

36,500. Only 12,000 or so since buying her in 2007.

Pip

[glendog74]

Just shy of 80k miles for me.

I'm the fourth owner and have had it almost 6 years driving 44k very enjoyable miles in my time with it :thumbs:

He he! I have had the same thought as well, what if they go ballistic value wise! (which I hope they will). Would have to be a 4yr old F80 then LOL. My father in law had a V12 E type he sold for funds when CSL girl came along, think it still haunts him letting it go! Love the CSL too much now even if she does sit around quite a bit it still makes us feel good just owning one :-D

[Hankcharlie]

Approaching 25k. Bought start of January with 20,700 so I've used it a bit.awful conundrum tbh. Investment/enjoyment? Noise/handling/enjoyment seem to be winning. Special cars tho. No point leaving it sit there so I like to drive it. Why save it for the next owner eh? Here for a good time,not a long time and you can't take it with u!

Mines on 98,000, done 21k in 16 months, used 50 mile round trip to work, every week day around back lanes, dual carriageway and B roads. I can't imagine using another car as a daily driver except for a 1M. I agree with Hankcharlie, I'm going to enjoy my special machine instead of saving it for next owner!

[Equinox]

Im the opposite.....keeping the miles low and hoping there will be a financial reward somewhere. Problem is its in the garage and its too easy to sorn it and when it it taxed to avoid using it if the weather is bad. It wouldnt do for us all to be the same though. The is a part of me that would fancy an M135i to use daily in a year or so, just dont want to part with anything.

[azrael]

Bought mine with 14k back in god knows when its done 77k now.

Couldn't imagine not using it...

[97rsr]

Got no intention selling it, it's a keeper now. The same as I couldn't slap miles on it commuting round SE London either. Just wait to buy a heavily used one in a few years.

[Straightsix]

Best to get a really low miles low owner immaculate one as garage queen
Then an average miles great condition one so you can drive it like you stole it everywhere with a stereo upgrade to BOSE or something and possibly AP Racing brakes, subframe reinforcement IMO

[petery]

76k miles in mine and I'm the second owner. I've owned it 3 years and done 33k in it, no plans to sell, ever!

[Fasteddie]

50k, owned it 4 years and driven around 21000 joy filled miles. It's just been detailed had a few warranty jobs but they wont cover the clutch, I'm getting slur. So that's the next job for the new year, that along with sitting at the tail pipes with some autosol. I do occasional think about selling, got very close to that a few years ago for personal reasons but realistically I think the car will be with me for a very long time.

Nice to see you back here again mate - it's been a while?! :thumbs:

[Bounce]

Where did you take for the warranty work mate,had my clutch slur sorted with new flywheel and plate under warranty on 68k miles.;)

[steveH]

28k
Moved it only a few yards today from one garage to another but sitiing there just made me smile :)
The car is mint and whilst I shall be unlikely to put on many miles each year I have promised myself it will come out next year for a drive or two.

[still no worries]

19k had it 7 years and love it, had twin boys 2 years ago and don't find time to drive it !

[deanobeano]

61k on mine - just under 2k driven over the summer.
Now SORN'd and tucked up for the winter.

[Alx]

60'000 km on mine.

Best car I've ever had. :)

[LeinsCSL]

56k miles, which means about 7k miles in 3 years. It's SORN-ed and undercover for the winter now, and probably won't get too much use next year other than the odd spin up the mountains

I'm going to try and use my E30 a bit more though, as that hardly turned a wheel in 2013

[jibm]

mines on 74k, bought with 39k in 2007.

i have only done 2k miles mot to mot this year and my insurance is limited to 2k next year. To think a few years back i did 10k in her in a year as my daily driver! i maybe selling in 2014 as i’ve got a big hairy GT3 itch to scratch.

in a way i wish i hadn’t bought the car, as its been such a great car to own that it’s stopped me moving on sooner - therefore, i blame the csl for me not spunking a load of dough on fezzers and porks :clown:

[Fasteddie]

Where did you take for the warranty work mate,had my clutch slur sorted with new flywheel and plate under warranty on 68k miles.;)

I took it to Ashford BMW, the Csl failed the mot on a ball joint so I took it down, they fixed that, gearbox seal and a diff seal replaced the oil all on the warranty. They said they tried to say an engine oil leak had caused the clutch failure but warranty wanted photos so they back out. I argued directly with BMW customer service, in fact they know I'm still not happy but they said it is a wearable item and without something they can pin it on they say tough. I tried to argue that a clutch is isn't operated by the driver wearing out before it's time is obviously a fault of some kind and whilst they failed to answer this point they just kept saying sorry we aren't doing it. If anyone has any ideas I still have the lady's email address but I am about to buy a new clutch kit and get a local mech I know to fit it.

Hi Glendog, I have looked on here on occasion but life has become very busy now, I haven't seen a track in over 2 years, that needs fixing before I forget how to drive :smt003

[Gurbinder]

13k and just me since new.

Annnnnd we have a winner!

[GregorJP]

Mine is on 68k. Had it for just over 2 years and cannot bring myself to sell, even though she sees no action these days and is currently SORN and in storage for the winter. I have done 13,000 very happy miles since I bought it. I am keeper number 7 :clown:

Recently had to choose between keeping the CSL or a GTR I bought and the CSL won through. GTR is for sale, if any of you are in the market. Stage 2, 20k miles on an 09 plate. PM for details.

In much same position as yourself and just put mpss on GTR and now think its brilliant in wet. Now enjoying the rain, still don't know what to sell.

Mine is still running Potenzas and seeing the traction control light at 90 mph doesn't inspire confidence...

That's what I had on done a track day and was totally disillusioned with GTR as under steer was awful, csl was much faster with Falkens in wet. Done 200+ in last week in wet with mpss and grip is amazing with gradual break away. Now enjoying the wet for the first time , car takes full throttle in 2nd gear with 600bhp in damp without traction control coming on its great !!

[Straightsix]

13k and just me since new.

That is incredible you have hardly driven yours :-) ?

[Gurbinder]

I know had company cars since just after we bought it, mostly high performance cars like GTR's and stuff so did not really use it but will not part with it.

The dealer who sold it to me ask's me every year at service time to sell it as he always has a buyer.

What you reckon they'd retail it for... £50k?

I really don't know, I remember when I traded my 2 YO 330CI sport with 7k on it, it didn't even hit the pitch before it was sold so they must have people waiting for the right car.

[Trawler]

You will have to let us know what you think of the Abarth. The mrs fancied one but thought it was a bit too small & ended up with a mini jcw.

We used to have an Abarth 130.

[streightsix]

65k miles here, majority of that was Munich/Salzburg & back :smt055

I had a 105TC then bought a 130TC Abarth :-D
Used to try and go everywhere with the rpm at c7k when the velocity stack whistle occurred :drool:

Now I've grown up :finga: naa of course not :-D

Well done. I've only done a little more than that since we got back from the Munich trip, over a year ago !

[Chappers]

What can I say, I like driving it. Usually it would average out with me being out of the country but I've had a bit of a gap between trips so had plenty of time to enjoy the CSL... and not earn any overtime... at the moment.

It's a lovely car, so pleased I bit the bullet even if finances are a little "stretched" at the moment.

[LeinsCSL]

Well done. I've only done a little more than that since we got back from the Munich trip, over a year ago !

Mine's only done about 150 miles since I got back. Time to get it out on the roads again before I start thinking of shopping it in for a shiny new 318d :smokin:

I've only used mine once since the CSLR trip: a drive to Elms BMW for the boot floor warranty check and return!
