Matt, I appreciate your comments on mileage, I am only trying to buy the lowest one I can afford as I don't tend to hold onto my cars and if I do sell it then the resale value should still be high, but hopefully if the CSL is all it's cracked up to be it won't be going anywhere for a very long time!

However saying that I won't be buying a dog just because it's got low mileage, like a cars owners, I don't car if it's been passed around so long as it's straight and genuine and what they say it is! Thanks for the help

Paul, I knew I knew it mate! lol Seeing as you started it here's a quick couple of pics of my Escos I've just sold!

That's a good approach and I think you'll be surprised how AWESOM

CSLs are, just don't expect the kick in the backside kind of TURBO 'Cosa shave

. It's quite different experience and rev happy with peak power @ 7900 rpm (near enough red line) and max torque @ 4900 rpm. All good stuff

I wouldn't say I know all about them but I've got a feel for BMW's now! lol

Did the CSL's suffer from the same bottom end recall's as the normal M3's? Did they need to be recalled or have any other bits done under warranty?
