Does anyone know this car: YM53 KZL (previous plates - M2 KYT & WG3)

[kbcsl]

Guys,

Went to see a SG CSL with 54k on the clock at a BMW dealership. Do you guys recognise the plates?

current plate: YM53 KZL

Plate transfer history:

2003-2004 YM53 KZL
2004-2005 WG3
2005-2008 YM53 KZL
2008-2010 M2 KYT

The car looks/drives great. At 50K the head gasket was replaced (dealer said nothing was wrong with the head). New Alternator/cold stat valve pipe?? and new bmw exhaust full. Oh, and the Flap motor was replaced to. Was a little worried about the news on the head gasket - trust this is ok? Or could it be something to walk away from?

Any help?

dont know the car but wouldnt worry about HG and you will get AUC warranty. How much?
I wouldnt walk away from a main dealer if you like the car and price is right, you can extend the warranty before the AUC runs out, anything in the 1st year just take it straight back to them

[kbcsl]

£28K

Feel its on the pricey side as it's through a BMW dealership. But they will pay for the 1st year AUC.

Thoughts?

[kbcsl]

True. Will get some pics up...

looks a nice thing.
Check the log book, when I was looking a main dealer had one that had been exported and then imported back again ... very shady history.

I'm sure you could chip them, I got 3k knocked off what my dealer was asking, theirs is not the only CSL up for sale with that mileage, including warranty and they will know that

I told them I was putting the phone down on them and buying the other car I was looking at.
I've got my credit card if you can match the price, I will give you the deposit now :whistle: "give me a minute I'll ask my manager"...
30 secs deal done

I had already been in and been told what my trade in was.

Checked the history and all the servicing has been carried out in the UK.

Viewed the car earlier today - and have been on/off the phone with the sales rep. He's saying there is no room to move on price, but after the 1st call dropped by £500. Waiting for another call back to see what they can do on the price...

forgot to mention, the current owner is throwing in cup tyres and part used road tyres.

I like it but the price HAS to drop a little more to be right for me..

fingers crossed.

i saw that car at Spa this year on 23rd May........otherwsie no other recollection!

[kbcsl]

Thanks Shimmy.

Actually, I just found an old post from mattcslnut from 2009 saying he saw this car. He said it was best to avoid!

Think I'll walk away from this one as the vibes aren't right.

matt always says that though :smokin:

[kbcsl]

Haha.

Still, it's too pricey for me.

:hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha: ..... :birdman:
In all seriousness though, this is the car I was telling you about earlier on today Shimmy. YM53 KZL ... Chassis number JC98492. This is one with 20K miles in between services :banghead: with patchy history, not all BMW Main Dealer, if I remember correctly. It was the first CSL I went to view with intention of buying 2 years ago @ Lister BMW in Kings Lynn and back then it was on 43K miles @ £28, 995. I'm sorry to say this but I found it to be an over prized shiny turd and walked away when the desperate dealer :clown: started making over the top Part/Ex offers on my daily E39 5 Series Diesel Wagon.

Out of interest which BMW Main Sealer is stuck with that shiny turd now then ? :whistle:

IMHO obviously but I'm afraid so :bigcry: Sorry

[Yanto_csl]

WAY too rich for a +50k mile car in current Market. Walk away. Quickly.

[s.mac]

there you go, check history even at main dealers sounds similar to the one I walked away from at a dealers in Stoke 3+ years ago
