CSL Inspection II

[Paul Eggleton]

deffo do the trackday first, it will take at least a thousand miles off the service counter:thumbs:

But would be on old, 10000mile+, oil, unless you change it between intervals.

most modern oils are good for 50000 miles before they start to loose their properties under normal use mate.

I use Valvoline in my trucks, their recommended period is 70000 miles, roughly a year for a truck:thumbs:

Look in the service book. :thumbs:

I wouldn't be too bothered as the difference between INSP 1 and INSP 2 is small anyway. On the INSP 2 you get everything from the INSP 1 plus new spark plugs, new air filter and a bit of oil! The extra cost of those minor items shouldn't be too much higher than what you'd pay for INSP 1.

Unfortunately BMW Park Lane, with the Service department in "Battersea" is the most expensive BMW main dealer in the UK, if not continental Europe. They are suppose to be very good with CSLs but you do pay heavily for their expansive London location. The previous owner of my SG CSL paid £1200 :119: for an inspection 2 there in the middle of last year and that was with a touch of discount. Try the highly recommended (by me and many others :thumbs Andy Pressland @ BMW Murketts as he'll almost certainly save U a small fortune (make sure U ask about the 6+ discount plan, if your CSL is over 6 years old). They are based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire which is just up the A1M, about 70 miles north of London so U could have a nice drive up there, at the same time and it shouldn't cost too much in petrol either (if U keep her steady) :hahaha:. Win Win :thumbs:

mine went to loughton sytner for £850 in the end, you can get it cheaper then that at other dealers.

i reckon that dodgy CSL for sale recently with the M3 bumper probably skipped the oil services too. :smt101

Right gents (and ladies)

Battersea have reduced their quote to £950, which is a lot better than their laughable first informal stab at £1,400, but they still seem OTT to me.

£100 or even £200 gets a lot of Super Unleaded...

Anyone had one recently? Murketts seem highly recommended on here?

Thanks in advance.

I shopped around and got insp II for £675 from Castle Motors BMW York, so some dealers are reasonable. The staff was even shocked when I went into pay and I had to tell them I had spoke to the manager, they checked with him before letting me pay as it was sooooo cheap:thumbs::thumbs:


I had a quote of £750 from another BMW dealer at Crewe
