As per title... I spotted this SB CSL FOR SALE on eBay earlier on showing 64 000 miles however almost a year ago, when I was looking myself for a CSL I looked at this one when it had 79600 on the clock. I wonder who did the clocking. The UK dealer who SOLD it to the German owner or indeed the NEW German owner :whistle: I have a printout of the PISTONHEADS ad from last year if anyone's interested. Here's the link:

Well done Sherlock,that may save someone some tears,:thumbs: -
Indeed :thumbs: CSI at it's best, although someone has put in an offer already, not knowing about the mileage discrepancy :whistle:Originally posted by BOUNCE View Post
The thing is... it was a nice car a year ago with nearly 80K miles on the clock, as it was one owner car and well looked after, with a re sprayed front end to eliminate the usual stone chips. Seems very silly to clock a nice car like that, despite it being the wrong colour
:hahaha:

Have Ebay got back to you regarding reporting it? Would be interesting to know what they would do in this situation.
Good find mate.Comment

They have Baz and are investigating the matter as I type this. I have also e-mail the seller who seemed oblivious to the clocking and is himself in the process of contacting the dealer in Kent who SOLD him the car last year. Here's the link to the eBay Ad: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-BMW-M3-CS...#ht_883wt_1139Originally posted by sailorbaz View Post
I also enclose the original PISTONHEADS Ad from a year ago below, clearly showing the true mileage of 79 600 :whistle:Attached FilesComment

What's the betting they'll just claim they made a mistake on the PH advert and it was really 67900 or something...Comment

That whole sentence implies the high mileage of that car, not just by the mileage numbers :whistle:
There are other way of finding out about the mileage discrepancy too... HPi check for one, which is linked to DVLA and their MOT archives... U can have that CSL's ignition keys scanned at any official BMW centre, as the keys hold specific information about the car they belong to (including mileage) and check the service intervals by dates & mileage to see any abnormal gaps. :whistle:Comment

Looks like the CLOCKED SB CSL is back in the UK and already FOR SALE :whistle: Be warned, the actual mileage of this car should be at least 25 000 miles more.

They can cope well with higher miles :whistle:Comment

The guy's still advertising it as one previous owner as well. Wonder what the real story is.Comment
