I would not worry how many miles a CSL has on it , I bet if you break that car in 5 years time with 170000 + on it you would still get your money back in bits , the parts will be rare in 5 years time as they are now but will command more moneyOriginally posted by thrashermax View PostBought mine Oct 2012 with 77k, now at 86k. So I should go over 100k in 9 months time. Used every day and love every second.
I want to keep her for at least 5 years so I should get her up to 170k...residual value will be hit but my smile 'o' meter will be fully topped up!

It's gonna take me a while at the current rate of use but I've never been worried about mileage. Mine gets everything it needs and more. Doesn't feel any different to the day I had it @27k miles.
Had a lovely drive in her over the Black Mountains Easter weekend. First drive for 4 months! Sad really but does make every drive an occasion. I forget how good a nailed down car feels.:smt055 Makes my M135i feel like a jelly!:smokin:

Well that's the advantage of being upside down - tyres last a lot longer and high mpg!Originally posted by hoshy View Post34.9 mpg - you can't have been going fast enough to have clocked up any real mileage since 2003 ;-)
I wouldn't recommend it for the CSL though - not now the roofs are in short supply

That's a healthy attitude towards the whole mileage thing :thumbs: Good on Yer fella :smokin:Originally posted by thrashermax View PostBought mine Oct 2012 with 77k, now at 86k. So I should go over 100k in 9 months time. Used every day and love every second.

Seems there's not too many that have already rolled over.
I had about 25k to spend on a motor - looked at 335i and E92 M3 but ended up thinking that the arse is gonna totally fall out out of them price wise after a few years so why not make the same initially outlay on a high-mile CSL, drive it as a daily, and even with intergalatic mileage it'll still be worth more than either of the other two. Plus I get to drive everyday in one of the best cars ever made, by anybody.

Just joined the 100k club and my sentiments exactly, 111k for me and I can now use this one without fear! Worst case, it will be worth quite a bit in parts in a few years time :blalalala:Originally posted by hoshy View PostNice

The way I see it, everybody sub-100k should pay us a commission for keeping their car values higher.Originally posted by m3ni View PostJust joined the 100k club and my sentiments exactly, 111k for me and I can now use this one without fear!

That was my thinking too. I was dithering and then woke up one morning and thought exactly that.Originally posted by hoshy View PostNice
