How to tell if your CSLs age

[Mark CSL]

BMW Motorsport has told me all the CSLs ever built from the chassie numbers.
The last 5 numbers start from 98001 so you can tell if your car is an early build or a late build car :thumbs:

My car is 98305 so it is 1 of the first 1500 built cars i know BMW have 98001 in the bmw museum

Wasn't there a big debate about this a while back on the "other forum" where it was stated that using the last digits on the chassis wasn't reliable, as the CSLs were taken off the build line at different times for different specs ect, so they call came out at different times not according to the chassis code ...

Mine would be a close relative to yours then Mark ... I've got 98237

BMW MSPORT told me this so it must be true :thumbs:

Yes, it was confirmed in a communication from BMW.

Mine is 98128, registered Sept 2003, so quite an early one.

:thumbs:Cheers Mark! Yes, it's been a mare recently. Moved out of our rented property a few weeks back and have been living in between the parents homes out of carrier bags and internet access has been limited.

Also, was due to have my second baby on 27th July so haven't been driving the CSL much recently either which has been sooooo hard as I miss driving her so much. Still waiting for the baby to make an appearance and if nothing by 6 August, then its coming out the sunroof :hahaha::hahaha:

So, loads going on which has limited getting on here and also driving my pride & joy! Hopefully normal service will be resumed sometime early August:supz:

It is not the number of the 422 uk cars it is the build of the 1500 world wide m8
