WARNING !!! clocked SB CSL on eBay

[outnumbered]

What's the betting they'll just claim they made a mistake on the PH advert and it was really 67900 or something...

If they do they'd have to say they made that mistake twice within the same Ad as it's also in the detailed description text saying: " The car has covered 79,600 miles but (the 'but' signifying the above average mileage of that CSL, then it continues) but with only one previous owner, the car has been maintained regardless of cost " . That whole sentence implies the high mileage of that car, not just by the mileage numbers
There are other way of finding out about the mileage discrepancy too... HPi check for one, which is linked to DVLA and their MOT archives... U can have that CSL's ignition keys scanned at any official BMW centre, as the keys hold specific information about the car they belong to (including mileage) and check the service intervals by dates & mileage to see any abnormal gaps.

Looks like the CLOCKED SB CSL is back in the UK and already FOR SALE Be warned, the actual mileage of this car should be at least 25 000 miles more.

They can cope well with higher miles

The guy's still advertising it as one previous owner as well. Wonder what the real story is.

I should know
It's a shame some Numpty decided to clock it It was a clean enough car @ 79 600 when I had a look at it over a year ago.
Take a look at the state of that steering wheel though, it's screeming 100 000 miles

Matt

you cant go by the steering wheel as mine looked like that at 35k miles (and was replaced) and looked like it again 20k miles later

depends how its been used - but otherwise well shouted (ban the clockers)

Well spotted It was one previous owner when I vied it down in Kent, over a year ago, before it went to Dartmount, Germany and then back to it's current UK custodial
I'm guessing here but I think it's been passed on from one wan-a-be car dealer to another, all probably aware of it's true mileage.
