Ive got it.

[TommyR]

Well the whole CSL buying thing is probably the most stressful car experience i have ever had.

But picked her up tonight 17k miles 04 plate sg

it feels so worth it now. i sunk into those gorgeous seats and waved the owner goodbye. What an epic drive home, took it easy on the motorway and it scared the shit outta me on the back road which were saturated.

The noise, the feel, everything. its like a dream vehichle


Not all good, managed to get a warning light on already!

its number 34 on here

will get it checked out but any experiences?

Congrats

Get it on the track silverstone next week.:drool:

Congratulation mate, look forward to hearing all about it tomorrow. Well done.

With regards to the warning light, does the light stay on while the car is running? I 'believe' that light on mine comes on with the ignition but goes off after the car's started. Could be wrong, most likely am.

[TommyR]

Yep it's on all the time

[cslgirl]

wey hey!! Congrats Tommy :thumbs:

[Codling]

I had this on my old e46 m it came on when it ran low on fuel. Did the car have a full tank when u bought it ? Also does it with normal unleaded I'm told. I filled mine up with fresh fuel and started, turned off and repeated this a couple of times and it goes off.

If not disconnect the battery.

Also worth noting mine stayed on with tesco super.

if the light is yellow its probably a lambda sensor - the light will go off after a certain amount of miles/time. If it keeps coming back on get it checked out.

Congratulations on the new car BTW :thumbs:

It also comes on if you have a/m exhaust due to post cat sensors

17k miles well done, practically as new. Now she needs to be broken in.

Have fun, these cars are amazing.

I would put a BMW warranty on it if its not got one though.

Congrats :thumbs:

I had the same problem. Looks like it can vary between of full the tank is and what fuel you put too ???

Lots of sensitive sensors on that car i think.

Eduardo.

[TommyR]

yes it came on when the tank got low!

so proably that. il give it a flush tonight.


what to people think of the RAC warranty??

130 a year for 2000 pay out.

i think thats brilliant. BMW wrranty i know is fantastic but i find it hard to swallow

[Sailorbaz]

For a car with only 17K miles on it, I wouldn't second thought putting a BMW Warranty on it. £80 a month for what can be £1000's of pounds in repair bills is very little and you've got a LONG way to go before you move up to the 60K-100K mile bracket Warranty so get it bought mate. £80 a month for piece of mind if nothing else is worth it IMHO.
