SG NO OPTIONS CSL 17950 Miles

Ultimately it's worth what someone is prepared to pay - based on recent sales of sub 10,000 mile cars I believe this car's value to be in the mid 50s £k. IIRC it sold for slightly less than this 12 months ago.

However it's a strange world and people do strange things

I still maintain this car is for a collector and he'll want the purest version. He won't give a damn about air con when it's sitting in a bubble - I sure as hell don't with the mileage and usage my car gets.

As bias opinions go you're right on the money

I also wonder what potential buyers will think of the less then perfect service history of that car with it's "Running In" service being done way too early meaning the cars engine may not have been run in as BMW intend and the scheduled servicing which falls outside the recommended 2 year intervals, on more than one occasion.

Isn't it strange that a collector, someone who never uses the car, would care whether they had a 20kg lighter car or not? I mean he's never going to use it and most certainly won't gain any physical benefit from the delete option anyway(not that you could actually tell). I also think that in this context, particularly for a CSL with no air con and stereo, but with power windows, to somehow be called "purest" version is nonsense really.....I think that is overstretching the term "pure". But that's just my opinion.

This car will be purchased by a collector as pure investment...plain and simple.

Sadly this car will not be bought with the intention of driver enjoyment.

As previously stated, the history being established, the car will go into a carcoon. Here ends the story.

Still not getting it are you. It's got nothIng to do with weight saving. It's got nothing to do with creature comforts or lack or creature comforts. Yup, electric windows but that's the purest it came with. I don't think service history (run in service early) actually matters either.

This cars destined for a bubble and storage for 20+ years as the purest and closest to original design.

Ps. I'm just trying to justify my leggy optionless car as you are your legless fatty

I suppose it won't matter much to someone who's not going to drive the car properly... if at all
However, a genuine "M" car collector/enthusiast will know the original engine hasn't been run in properly
