    out of interest, if I'm reading iot correct, there is a 6 year service history gap on one of these cars ? Is this typical of a lot of low mileage CSL's , the service has been done on mileage rather than months between ?

    PDI check: 05/03/04 at BMW Wollaston Motors
    Running-in Check: 16/07/04, 1114 miles at BMW Wollaston Motors

        Ah! I recall this car, my brother went to see it in July 2010. A deal couldnt be agreed, I was getting constant updates from the showroom as I was in Dubai at the time.

        Hot66 - indeed it's a shame more CSLs are not appearing here in the classifieds as private sales, however sellers have a reason for this I guess.

        And yes, the service history on the car you have included does appear to indicate a 6 year gap which is pretty huge to be honest. A show stopper for me.

        Though these cars are 10 years old, they are not old enough for these types of gaps not to matter.

        Having said that, there are plenty of cars from the 70's / 80's / 90's as part of collections and general garage queens with very low mileages that have not strictly adhered to service intervals, it does not seem to matter to prospective owners when they get that old.

              Does this 6 year gap affect BMW Warranty or when you transfer to BMW Insured Warranty ?

                          KV04BFU was advertised in Scotland in July last year for £30K with 31700 miles on it. Hexagon are unlikely to have paid more than £29K for it so flipping the car for £6K!!
                          FV53 LNW was advertised in November by Hexagon for £38995 with 27K on the clock, now it's £36995.....so they do occasionally reduce their prices!!
