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

[kbcsl]

Really appreciate the feedback. Currently sitting at Specialist Cars Stevenage. Its not listed on their website yet, though will be by Monday.

Earlier this year I picked up an E60 525i M Sport from the same dealer ship, the sales rep knew i was looking for one and called when the owner came in to buy a 135i. Apparently he wants to replace the CSL with a GT3 - unless I misheard.

Matt - you're right about the service history. I have a photo copy,

Pre-delivery check - 21/12/03
Running in service @ 1,200 miles - 8/1/04
Inspection 1 @ 21,228 miles - 13/6/05
Inspection 2 @ 39,615 miles - 13/7/07
Oil Service @ 46,660 miles - 16/10/09 (Listers King's Lynn)
Oli Service @ 50,935 miles - 21/6/10

now currently sitting on around 54k

I don't understand why there is such a big gap in the service?!

Guys- ideally, I'm looking for 2004 model with all the options. I won't be tracking the car as it will be a weekend drive so if anything comes along would be grateful if you can hit me up... hate not owning one!

The service routine isn't even correct. I'm sure I don't have to tell thee how it should go, but ^^^ that's an example of how not to do it. Very ropey. Good shout though, pays to check out here, :thumbs:

beware!!!

I suspect this may have been owned by one Damon Gray (WG3) WilcocksonGray was the parents company from Chesterfield. He also ran Branded Untouchable and tried many performance enhancements when he had it & reputation for driving Hard.
Was it one of the cars in the Total BMW or BMW CSL thrash day??? Some from here may be able to recall if they were there too.
I do recall Damon could not trade car with our local BMW dealer as they would not have it at any price & believe at time they would not extend warranty.
I would certainly double check out history.
Apologise in advance if this was not the car owned by Damon but better safe than sorry.
Good luck in your search though.

No longer at Specialist Cars, but being advertised by Nick Johnson for 26.4K.

CSLs should be serviced every year or at least every 6 months the engine oil should be changed.

The fact that some are not serviced for longer than this without servicing is quite worrying?


How long do you plan to keep the car for? If it was short-term it probably wont fall apart.

That's a good deal.

Sounds like prices are going down, not up

It seems that way at present :smt090 although it's a bad time of the year to be selling such machinery :smokin:

On the other hand there's hardly any for sale at the moment, so that should help to keep the prices firm even in the Autumn.

I think what's required is a bit of clubbing together and a spot of "Price fixing" :whistle: After all it's a very limited market :smokin:

So who's going to call this seller: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...1139417543128/ and advise him to ad another £5K to his selling price then ? :whistle:
