So if you put £3000 under the bed for a rainy day we should all be ok  |
that's what I do. no major faults in over two years of ownership, boot floor done foc. on 70k no sighs of head gasket failure or any other faults. last m3 I had 7 years ago, I ran it from 79k upto 109k and the head gasket went at 108k. it's pot luck really and as you said the three main common problems are fixed for around or under the £1000 mark at bmw specialists.
being totally honest the csl's at around 50k upwards are just as likely to throw a tantrum as the higher mileage ones. csl's are not like nobles,tvr's, Ferrari's ect they enjoy being using and will still be going stong after 150k+, unlike the others manufactures
