When mine went almost 2 year ago, I hadn't noticed any change in tone, fuel consumption and most importantly BHP. It was when it was in the workshop at BMW someone said it didn't sound like the 'other' CSL that was in and sounded a bit 'rough'. SO they brought the 'other' CSL in, a certain Stevie Gill's, and right enough, mine was a little more rattly. As it was under warranty, they removed the required parts and found it was indeed on its way out and replaced everything that looked sh1t!

This was when Stevie not long had his CSL so it was sounding standard back then.

After track days mine always sounds really tinny and rattly, anyone else get that?

Good luck with yours Mark, in at the usual dealers?
