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 ?Originally posted by scrubberamit View PostCar was registered to me in March 2004. Was serviced by Sytner BMW Gerrards Cross / High Wycombe until Summer of 2009, where it has continuosly been looked after by George at Technosport (i have introduced to him a few other CSL members and they too use him)
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

There was a csl for sale in 2010.Originally posted by M5 Powered View PostStill hard to believe 1. Amit was a long-term member on here and 2. had the cheek to try and sell it to other members while not being truthful about the condition.
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
£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".

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.Originally posted by Mperfect View PostRegistration 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.
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)

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:.Originally posted by Chad View PostIn 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:
