Looks nice..

Not related to seller, but in the interests of you not getting fooked over, I have heard that the the 1200 mile service was done at 2000 miles.

This info is second hand, so check with vendor. May impact (potential) warranty claims.

Check with BMW and see where you stand.

caveat emptor. Good luck.

Isn't that the car that JT was asking about Yanto?

Mix of BMW and Thorney servicing, late running in service so warranty claims would be iffy.

Supposed to be a good car though, so if you can get by without warranty I would say it would be a decent purchase.

Today I drove the car, great engine, firm suspension set up, incredible braking power!
I also check the service history and the running in service was made at 1045 miles so well within the limit.
Last service was made 1000 miles ago.

I have put a deposit for the car, will collect it next week.

thanks for everything!

Good man, well done.

As has been said, if you're planning on using the car at the weekends and for TD's, you'd have ended up fitting bigger brakes and coilovers anyway. Exhaust, debatable but it's good to have. You getting the OEM stuff with it?

I know just how excited you must feel. Congrats and welcome to CSL ownership.

Be sure to post some pictures when you pick it up - everyone knows what a black CSL looks like, but it'd be great to see your CSL.
