If I buy a csl, with suspension / brake upgrades, it will hold better value. Than if I were to get a v8 m3 and chop it all up, spending alot more on it?
Mpg wise what are you guys getting? Anyone using these as a daily drive?

A good CSL is only going to go up, a V8 is only going to go down (they just built too many). So if the decision is purely based on residuals, then it has to be the CSL. However, if you're going to be using it everyday (which it will do with ease), you'd be better off buying a high mileage CSL, as you'd only (sadly) devalue a low mileage car by putting loads of (mundane) miles on it.
Values tend to be as follows and mileage does seem to play an important part (these are all assuming VGC and full history), obviously lower mileage, but less cared for cars will be worth less and higher mileage exceptionally cared for cars will be worth more than this guide:
<10k miles = £50k+
10k - 15k = £50-£45k
15k - 20k = £45-40k
20k - 30k = £40-35k
40k - 50k = £35-30k
50k - 70k = £30-25k
70k - 100k = £25-20k
