Don't know it, but it's pretty high mileage for £20K, even if it's only two owners. There are a number of much lower mileage cars around for not much more.

I agree. I think he's dreaming if he thinks he'll achieve that.

Whats also concerned me is him denying he's ever done track days. It doesnt bother me if he has thats what they are designed for, but why lie. The brakes, nurburgring stickers and paddles all point to someone who likes a track day or 2, but why not just say?

Since when does high milage (a relative term in itself) represent anything meaningful about a car ?
It's all about actual condition of said car and a full, on schedule, up to date service history.
U've got a link to the Ad ?

If and it's a big if, that car has been ragged on a track for most of those 107k miles, you can service it all you want, the wear and tear on major components will be more than standard road miles, no?

That's my only concern, I know they are built for that but I'd rather have one that's been occasionally used on track/mainly on road and serviced regularly than used on track a lot and
serviced a lot.


Regardless, I'm after comprehensive history and a car that's not tired. I am by no means saying this one is, but it's odd how he claims to never have done a track day. Mileage is irrelevant for me, if it's been driven "sympathetically" and well maintained, that's all I want

It will be a keeper for me and only used on track.

Matt, it's here.

I agree that a higher mileage car that's been well maintained could be preferable to a lower mileage shed.

There are some CSLs that don't see the track, a real waste obviously but it does happen.
Reading the Ad http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3652074.htm it's been serviced by Murketts BMW for the past 5 years which is excellent news as they were (until very recently) THE place to look after your CSL, under the wings of Andy Pressland (RIP) and worked on by Gareth who's now @ Elms BMW Cambridge (the New Murketts). If you ask nicely I'm sure Gareth will give you an honest, unbiased opinion of this particular car as he probably knows it inside out.
