Default Pre-purchase inspection?

Hi, can anyone recommend someone for a pre-purchase inspection?
I'm looking to take the plunge, but as I'm not that familiar with the CSL I would like some professional advice on the car, just to make sure I'm not buying a stinker...
I've done an AA inspection on standard cars in the past, but imagine I need someone a little more familiar with a csl to do it.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanks tom

I did not bother just by looking at the car and talking to the owner brought mine and been a real gem, most people on this site are honest and just want there cars to go to a good home. there are a few for sale in the cars for sale section.

+1, but you could always ask Gareth to give it the once over.. Taking along an owner is also not a bad idea

We charge £69 + VAT for an absolutely comprehensive check of the car. Fair to say we see a fair few CSL's

Gareth is a BMW tech who used to work at Elms, very experienced with CSL's. Think he's at Bartlett BMW now.
