I bought mine in 2009 from a member on here (Jeff) who also previously bought it from another member on here. It's was well known & documented, honest Cecil which has been loved and faultless in my ownership

and I do use it properly

keep looking as they do pop up

there is a nice SB one on pistonheads that is mid 50k mileage and mid 20s in price.

worth a look.

Was that the one with the black wheels? Looked a little suspect to me as the photos were poor and it had 7 previous owners. I can't see it on PH now.

My tip - buy the first one you see. I did and a week later discovered chassis floor cracks ! That really upset me but luckily BMW repaired for free under warranty even though the car had done 107k .
Seriously though before you buy CHECK THE FLOOR above the rear subframe for cracks. A lot of cars have reached 10 years and are out of the 10 year goodwill period.
I was quoted £3200 to repair by BMW if nit under warranty.

Good luck finding one. You won't regret it

Bought mine from here, it's a special car so should be bought from a special place...

Bought my 2nd and 3rd Csl from the register......Tino's car was well received by other members.......plus if you're feeling detective you can search all related threads on the car......gives you a good overview of its history, track time etc.
