But would be on old, 10000mile+, oil, unless you change it between intervals.

most modern oils are good for 50000 miles before they start to loose their properties under normal use mate.

I use Valvoline in my trucks, their recommended period is 70000 miles, roughly a year for a truck

I wouldn't be too bothered as the difference between INSP 1 and INSP 2 is small anyway. On the INSP 2 you get everything from the INSP 1 plus new spark plugs, new air filter and a bit of oil! The extra cost of those minor items shouldn't be too much higher than what you'd pay for INSP 1.

Unfortunately BMW Park Lane, with the Service department in "Battersea" is the most expensive BMW main dealer in the UK, if not continental Europe. They are suppose to be very good with CSLs but you do pay heavily for their expansive London location. The previous owner of my SG CSL paid £1200 for an inspection 2 there in the middle of last year and that was with a touch of discount. Try the highly recommended (by me and many others ) Andy Pressland @ BMW Murketts as he'll almost certainly save U a small fortune (make sure U ask about the 6+ discount plan, if your CSL is over 6 years old). They are based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire which is just up the A1M, about 70 miles north of London so U could have a nice drive up there, at the same time and it shouldn't cost too much in petrol either (if U keep her steady) . Win Win

My one at Warwick was £750 as they had a price match offer on.
