If the world economy improves then yes

I am too inexperienced to know about rear splitters so I can't comment. The steering wheel is a matter for debate.

My mother could ruin her E46 seat in 6K miles as her clothes and the position of the seat were not optimal.
So the wheel could be rough from rings, or driving gloves.

But if we assume that we do not know if a CSL with 5 owners has been tracked or not then all we can go on is the mileage, history, chassis stress and paint.

I think water based paint or not there is a correlation between paint and usage.

ML can sell sand to the Arabs if they wish. Their reputation allows that, they have a world wide customer base and there is security when buying from them hence they can command more.

Who gives a monkeys if it's been on a few track days ??

Iv done a 4-5 in my Csl last being spa

And when I got it back from the dealer last month they said not one thing to even advise me on immaculate they said.
I doubt you could say the same for a sub 20k car that's sat perishing in a garage for 12 years.
When I got mine I got all hung up on ooooh don't want one that's been within 10 miles of a track, now Iv driven mine hard on a track I don't really see the point in driving it on the road !!!!
Life's to short, drive it hard through tunnels with the windows down
Balls to it !
