50k, owned it 4 years and driven around 21000 joy filled miles. It's just been detailed had a few warranty jobs but they wont cover the clutch, I'm getting slur. So that's the next job for the new year, that along with sitting at the tail pipes with some autosol. I do occasional think about selling, got very close to that a few years ago for personal reasons but realistically I think the car will be with me for a very long time.

Then an average miles great condition one so you can drive it like you stole it everywhere with a stereo upgrade to BOSE or something and possibly AP Racing brakes, subframe reinforcement IMO

mines on 74k, bought with 39k in 2007.
i have only done 2k miles mot to mot this year and my insurance is limited to 2k next year. To think a few years back i did 10k in her in a year as my daily driver! i maybe selling in 2014 as i’ve got a big hairy GT3 itch to scratch.
in a way i wish i hadn’t bought the car, as its been such a great car to own that it’s stopped me moving on sooner - therefore, i blame the csl for me not spunking a load of dough on fezzers and porks :clown:

I took it to Ashford BMW, the Csl failed the mot on a ball joint so I took it down, they fixed that, gearbox seal and a diff seal replaced the oil all on the warranty. They said they tried to say an engine oil leak had caused the clutch failure but warranty wanted photos so they back out. I argued directly with BMW customer service, in fact they know I'm still not happy but they said it is a wearable item and without something they can pin it on they say tough. I tried to argue that a clutch is isn't operated by the driver wearing out before it's time is obviously a fault of some kind and whilst they failed to answer this point they just kept saying sorry we aren't doing it. If anyone has any ideas I still have the lady's email address but I am about to buy a new clutch kit and get a local mech I know to fit it.Originally posted by Bounce View PostWhere did you take for the warranty work mate,had my clutch slur sorted with new flywheel and plate under warranty on 68k miles.
Hi Glendog, I have looked on here on occasion but life has become very busy now, I haven't seen a track in over 2 years, that needs fixing before I forget how to drive :smt003

Mine is on 68k. Had it for just over 2 years and cannot bring myself to sell, even though she sees no action these days and is currently SORN and in storage for the winter. I have done 13,000 very happy miles since I bought it. I am keeper number 7 :clown:
Recently had to choose between keeping the CSL or a GTR I bought and the CSL won through. GTR is for sale, if any of you are in the market. Stage 2, 20k miles on an 09 plate. PM for details.
