I'm still paying out monthly for the warrenty on my CSL, but obviuosly the less miles I do the worse value a warrenty becomes .

So, with no warrenty, what's the worst that could happen ££ wise ?

I imagine most problems could be tackled for a fraction of the cost of a full BMW warrenty job ?

I heard a few funny noises from my diff on downshifts at the weekend, remembered I had warranty so continued to enjoy my run out and about. For me its piece of mind. Will bring it up at the next service :smokin:

I don't want to temp fate, but have not extended the warranty since the original one ran out.

... Although, shim, what would that have all cost at an indie ? Assume no way near £16k

KEEP warranty. Do compression test. Then keep warranty justin case

If you wanted you could reduce the level of warranty, so you could consider just protecting the main drivetrain and engine, where most of the possible expense is.
However, with the way CSL's have gone up in value recently, it offsets the cost of the warranty. I would personally keep the full warranty as it will help you keep the car in tip top order and help it retain its full value, as I am sure any potential buyer would take the warranty as a major consideration when making their purchase.
