Splitting Parts?
I will sell the car with all the parts listed above. If buyers wish to buy any parts separately from the car, I would request they arrange this with the buyer of the car.
Serious enquiries only as I don't have time to deal with tyre kickers.




good looking car Ade, it looked very well kept today and will make someone very happy

Update:
I have had a few offers from people offering money thinking they'll chance it. To avoid embarrassment, I will make it clear that I would rather keep the car and put it into storage for when I will fly back to England every couple months, than accept less than what I think the car is worth.
The car is in excellent condition, has relatively low mileage, benefits from being a late 54-reg CSL (vs. an 03-reg), and is ready to drive away. You will find cheaper, leggier, older reg cars for slightly less money. This CSL has choice upgrades, the type you would put on if you wanted the best road (and occasional track) CSL. You really don't want to skimp on maintenance, so I really don't get people who want to negotiate on £500 saying £27500 is the most they can afford. If the asking price is absolutely maxing out your budget leaving you with no more cash, then don't buy this car. It will [relatively speaking] rape you in terms of maintenance/servicing if you were to maintain it properly - and I certainly hope the next buyer will.
I have updated the original post to include links to where the upgrades can be sourced from and to indicate the value of included upgrades/extras should a buyer try to do it themselves. (c.£7500+vat+labour to fit)
The purpose of this post is I don't want to embarrass or waste either tyre kickers' or my time, and I'm simply telling it as it is. This is a great car that I would gladly continue to cherish if I had more regular access to it from Asia. It is a well and fairly priced CSL, itself a rare and without a doubt one of the most finely honed motorsport-engineered works from BMW. Ever.
Thanks for listening and your understanding. :beer:

Must be frustrating to get people wasting your time like this on what is an exceptionally clean CSL. I think you're better off sticking it into Professional storage and having a blast when you're visiting these shores. BTW I thought all CSL were build in the last six months of 2003 ? Your car must have been late registered :thumbs:Originally posted by Ade View PostUpdate:

I'm keeping the house here, and reckon I'll be overseas for a couple years max, so returning every so often to have a CSL for use is a really nice idea. But I'm also taking a pragmatic view towards it, and there will always be an opportunity to get back into another CSL in the future when I'm able to enjoy it more often.
Mine was a later November build afaik, but late registration always helps used car values.

Yep, understand your thoughts but imagine trying to find a car like your in the near future without paying more then you can sell yours for. If you're keeping your house here and have a garage, I'd wrap the CSL in cotton wool and leave it there.Originally posted by Ade View PostI'm keeping the house here, and reckon I'll be overseas for a couple years max, so returning every so often to have a CSL for use is a really nice idea.

Interesting. I didn't know about Park Lane BMW being another "CSL friendly" dealership. Thanx to you and Jeff by the time my CSL has it's next service @ Murketts BMW, Huntington, it would have experienced both of these dealerships :thumbs: One lucky CSL :whistle:Originally posted by Rags View PostCar looks amazing, good luck with the sale.
Did you manage to get all your warranty work pushed through at Park Lane, I saw your car there for a week or so.
Great Dealership for CSL's IMO.
