Exactly the same boat as me Paul, same mileage too. I’ve got mine booked into John Mitchell Motors at laurencekirk, ex BMW, absolutely anal, owns and has owned plenty M cars and won’t bullshit you.

I still think that to hold a good resale value you need the BMW stamp.

No offence to any local Indies that are used, but they are just that, local and more than likely not known to a wider audience that are looking for a CSL with FBMWSH rather than FSH.

There are some Indy’s that are known nationwide of course.

I don’t like having to pay Main dealer prices but feel it necessary with a car that I know I won’t keep forever.

I have an S54 M Roadster that I’ll never sell and that gets looked after by my local Hi Q centre that is owned by a trusted friend using OEM parts.

In my experience, when you take a CSL in to a dealership that has several master technicians, they practically fight over it to do the work
