Would think ~18-19K mate...

There are a couple of late 60's mileage for sale on here currently at ~23K.

Good luck..

Welcome to the register:thumbs:.As Yanto says probably £19000.You dont really hear of SMG pumps going on the CSL as you do with the stock M3,there are a lot less CSLs of course.At that mileage the alternator has probably been replaced.

Test driving it later!

Hi Billy,

Firstly welcome to the site

Right, having bought a CSL with 108k on the clock for £20k, I'll give you my thoughts.

The Price with the CSL's is much the same as the M3'sin that there are alot of things to lookat which effect the price. You say tyres etc don't bother you but they should, let's not forget a proper set of tyres cost minimum £1000, so your kidding yourslef into thinking the car is cheaper than it actually is by discounting these things.

Has the front been resprayed recently? Due to the carbon bumpers the CSL's pick up stone chips very easily and so if you want them looking nice you'll have to respray it every few years which is not cheap if done properly.

Also the wheels, are they in good condition?

I'm sure you've thought of all these things, but if you end up having to put tyres on it, refurbthe wheels and respray the front it'll cost you £3000 ontop of the purchase price so you've got to factor this in.

And male sure the subframe mounts are not cracked - although you can get it repaired foc from BMW it's aloof hassle

Hi James,

Thanks for the post. Tyres are Michelin's , rear new, fronts got 6mm left and alloys have a few scuffs but nothing major.

Ill check out the front bumper later but I can get that done worst case, best mates got a body shop and owes me.

Have you done many miles in yours and is the 108k on the clock been a problem?

Hey Billy.
Is that the S.B. one with a private plate On that I've seen smoking about Cambridge and once @ Barry Kempton's Body Shop about 2 years ago when it was in for some paint refresh

with about 85K on the clock @ the time ?
As far as values of a 100K miles CSL, I'd say it's got to be about £20 K if we're thinking of the same car :smokin: little less if it's needing £££ spending on it straight away.

BTW WELCOME to the Mad House :thumbs: where abouts in Cambridge are you ?

**billyboysm3** · 05-06-2011, 03:01 AM

Hi Matt,

That must be the one, as its the only one Ive seen around here for years.

My office's are behind the Sir Isaac Newton Pub on Castle Hill, just off Histon and Huntingdon Road.

Where are you based? You might of seen my old mans razzing about a few years ago, that was the S.G then wrapped in M3 GTR racing stripes, AP'S, number plate B9 LUX.

Hi Billy.
I'm just up the road from U mate :thumbs: in Impington @ the other end of Histon Rd. and I sometimes buzz by Sir Isaac Newton pub in my S.G. CSL, down Castle Hill :smokin:
CSLs seem quite RARE in Cambridge... in the last few years I've only seen 2 S.B.s (including the one you're considering) and 2 S.G.s (including mine)

No I've not seen B9 LUX about but it sounds COOL :thumbs: Got any pix of it ?
Let me know if I can be of any help with regards to the 100K miler CSL :beer: If you're really keen to get it you'll do well to take it to Murketts for a Visual Health Check first :thumbs:
They know their CSLs inside out and should be able to pick up on anything that may be imminent :thumbs:

**Sailorbaz** · 05-06-2011, 03:37 AM

I would agree with what's been said before, £19K- £20K, depending on Condition. Shame it doesn't have FBMWSH, in fact looks like it only has had it's 1200 mile and then the first oil service by BMW. That in it's own is a bargaining tool IMHO, those stamps go a long way.

Check the steering wheels and seats. They wear quite easily and a new wheel is circa £800 but you can get them retrimmed for about £300. Seats? I don't know, haven't heard of any being that badly worn to be honest, funtime would be able to tell you more on that. The seat in fact, might even wear better than the standard leather ones in an M3.

Welcome to the Forum by the way, good luck with the test drive. :thumbs:

Hi Matt,

Yep just down the road, Simmes had a S.G in Cambridge, it was always parked by King Street. Taking it to Murketts is a good idea.

Attached are a few picts, these are all 72dpi so Im not sure how these will look.
