Hi folks

I've just signed up as I'm considering chopping in my Z4M Coupe for a CSL. I'm currently speaking to Xtreme UK about this one:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1664115.htm

Does anybody know the car?

I understand it's had some track use, but as long as everything is kosher, that doesn't necessarily put me off. The main thing is that it's straight.

Cheers,

Simon

Good luck

Ah right...

So it's been pranged then? I recall there was some issues with NJ cars in that the CSLs they had for sale were of ill repute.

Can anyone shed more light?

Welcome mate and good luck in finding the right car.

Just watch out for those one's with the 'Legendary' KDS.

(That was in someone's advert a while back, sorry)

Right,

I'm also off to have a look at this tomorrow. I searched the AUC on the off chance and there are actually two CSLs for sale; one in the Isle of Wight with an odd spec and, this little beastie just a couple of hours south of me:

http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/auc/car_d...BL96030JC98092

It's more miles than I'd like (given that a 20/30k miler could be had for the same money privately), but the carrot with this car is the offer of a two year warranty! Given that I'm an impatient man, the comfort blanket of full dealer back-up when something goes wrong, is hard to ignore. They've also offered me a not-unreasonable price for my car.

Hmmm...

Does anyone know it?

ETA: Great minds s.mac

Also, I should add, that I previously got my fingers massively burnt with a GT3 bought from a Porsche main dealer, so I'm starting to think that a CSL which isn't totally standard, could be a bad idea. Moreover it seems the car advertised at Xtreme UK has had some repair work, which is worrying. Conversely the car at Eastern BMW has only had three owners.

Any thoughts on what to look out for?

It's higher mileage, but will presumably have just had an Insp2 and the 2 year dealer warranty is good for peace of mind. I don't think it's a bad price at all for an AUC if you look at what else is out there. Worth a look I'd say.

CSL girl lives there, Im sure she would have looked / checked it out for you before you did the trek

check its history, owners etc etc
I looked at one in a main dealer and it had been
imported / exported a few times, you couldnt trace the full history

other than that you should be pretty well covered with a 2 year AUC warranty
