Hexagon

[73CSL]

problem is .. where are all the private cars .. seem they end up going to dealers before hitting the open market. Only private I've found recently is up at Hexagon prices.

seems CSL's are good cash cows at the moment for dealers

Know anything about KV04 BFU Mark ? I'm sure it was mentioned in a thread on here at some point, but the thread's gone now...

Edited to add... also noticed they've got a low mileage white E46 M3 for £40K ! Not sure that's ever going to be a valuable classic, is it ?

I remember for a good two years there were no M3 CSLs for sale at BMW Hexagon of Highgate between 2009-2012 exclusive

There was because I bought mine, a 24k miler from them in August 2010.

How much did u pay for yours if u don't mind me asking ?

out of interest, if I'm reading iot correct, there is a 6 year service history gap on one of these cars ? Is this typical of a lot of low mileage CSL's , the service has been done on mileage rather than months between ?

Ah! I recall this car, my brother went to see it in July 2010. A deal couldnt be agreed, I was getting constant updates from the showroom as I was in Dubai at the time.

Hot66 - indeed it's a shame more CSLs are not appearing here in the classifieds as private sales, however sellers have a reason for this I guess.

And yes, the service history on the car you have included does appear to indicate a 6 year gap which is pretty huge to be honest. A show stopper for me.

Though these cars are 10 years old, they are not old enough for these types of gaps not to matter.

Having said that, there are plenty of cars from the 70's / 80's / 90's as part of collections and general garage queens with very low mileages that have not strictly adhered to service intervals, it does not seem to matter to prospective owners when they get that old.

Just under 32k, they had just completed inspection 1 service and fitted new cups all round.
