    "RK04" was that potentially one the intial BMW track cars? (There used to be a list of regards plates on BM3W) - they started their life in a tough environment.

            As for bodywork - it is totally spotless... regularly detailed and has been PPFd.

            Inside is spotless apart from a small crack on the plastic of the rear seats.

            The car did have quite a bit of work done on it to modernise it (but this has no been removed to get it back to standard)

            1) full supersprint exhaust
            2) alcon brakes
            3) Moton suspension (£15k cost and only CSL to have this fitted)
            4) Pistons / Rockers / Head / ECU all rebuilt and remapped with the assist of George's v good friend who helped develop the Pistons on the Mclaren F1 and now works for Williams F1

            The car has now been fully put to standard and so essentially has new standard brakes / suspension / exhaust / engine build & ECU

            Car has only done just over 40k miles and has never been tracked.

            £58,000 ono

            07966 151 405

            no time wasters please xx
            Hi who is the bloke who did the engine work who now at Williams Grand Prix ? What did he do exactly redesign the components or spannering or what ?

              Saddest of all... the new owner will turn up on here thinking they just got a bargain CSL. :banghead:


              It going down hill round here
              There was a csl for sale in 2010.
              £30k 30k mileage roughly
              54 plate
              SG

              The guy name is ANIS who had 54 plate SG CSL £30k roughly around 30k mileage. I viewed his car. Didn’t bother driving it. Local to me. £30k. He said it wasn’t crashed. It was. I know because it had a new bonnet by bmw Dealer. I confronted him on it at the viewing
              He denied it. Then wanted to know how I knew. I told him bmw told me. Anyway just goes to show the owner can be a member of CSL Register and it doesnt mean you are buying a "cream puff".

                Interesting to read this, anyone know where the car ended up? That was my inspection report done when we first got the car in for pre sale inspection.

                  Wow what a story. Im sure that car will pop up again.

                  Is there no list on here like the Alpina Register with car info and a pic, last know etc.

                    Registration list would be a fantastic resource.

                    M3 GT Register is a great means of quick precursory check on a cars history before undertaking a specialist to carry out physical inspection.

                    It would take significant input of someone’s time to get it up and running though.

                      Shimmy had a pretty extensive history of every car that had been on the forum and others - he probably doesn't update it any more though.

                      I've also got a spreadsheet, mainly based on adverts here or on Pistonheads with approx 250 different registrations covered (a few of which might be the same cars underneath)

                            In general, as I’ve noticed gaps in mot history on some vehicles, just wondering if a chance to private regs Doesn’t always show history..:whistle:

                              You might find it is something as simple as being off the road for that period of time. A few years ago mine was off the road for 18 months waiting for cams from BMW :banghead:.

                                Well I am on the hunt for my CSL. Seen a few and hopefully do a deal soon.

                                Once it arrives will be happy to help build the register and some sort of gallery list. Car spotters are usually handy for this and instagram.
