What's the world total production number of the M3 CSL ? - Page 2

Sorry to bump an ancient thread and sorry if it's been answered but does anyone know why there's a discrepancy between the plaque and the numbers on howmanyleft.co.uk

Are there a load of unregistered cars somewhere? Did some never make it to the UK? The peak seems to be Q4 2007 with 346 taxed +18 sorn = 364 cars, which means there are 58 cars unaccounted for?

The plaque was a UK thing so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't count correctly.

Just on Pistonheads reading the CSL Section and I think there's one less RHD CSL bad accident @ SPA got no more details just hope the driver was ok.

There is nothing to say that the website is accurate. After I catalogued the entire production run, I found that the UK got 419 cars not including pre-production and "restricted VIN access cars".
