'maximise' CSL's with Low miles and Low owners, are the most sought after.
'Comparable' cars with similar mileage and FBMWSH would indicate, that a car with low owners car can add a premium of £1/£1.5K to the asking price. Just an observation!:thumbs:

Mine has fancy lights without the washers.

I actually prefer the light you get from decent halogen bulbs if I'm honest.
I find that the beam from xenon lights stops all of a sudden whereas halogen continues on but fades.

I'd not worry at all which type the CSL had. I didn't buy it because of the options :wink:

Any 2 CSLs with exact same spec and same mileage and same service history the one with lower owners WILL be more desireable. Doesn't matter whether CSL or 318i

The examples with low mileage, low owners, standard, original paint, FBMWSH, excellent condition plenty of invoices etc etc are the ones that collectors will ultimately want for CSLs and are the examples of any model which are the most sought after (and can hence command the higher prices)

Yep.

The number of owners does not bother me at all. Unless the figure is silly ie very high therefore denoting very short term ownership. I think mine was on four in 2007.

This just reminds me of the whole air conditioning scenario - "nobody will buy it if it does not have A/c.....blah blah". If it is in good nick and with a finite supply you cannot afford to be too choosy.

There may of course be a small adjustment in price but if it is the last one left...........

Agreed that these tend to be high ownership cars, Same with Porsche GT3's, They tend to be a box that petrolheads need to tick, then 12-18 months down the line they want to tick another box, On the plus side higher owner cars are generally over serviced compared to low mileage cars, as a lot of owners typically take their pride and joy to their local indy and tell them to do whatever needs doing, Then the next owner does the same 12-18 months later, Not always the case but this is my experience having owned a couple of M3's / TVR's over the years.

Don't TVR's need a service or repair every time used :whistle:
