SOLD: 03/2005+ Euro Headers and Euro Section 1 (CSL equivalent components)

[davidinnyc]

03/2005+ BMW Euro Headers and Euro Section 1 for sale. These are, indeed, CSL-equivalent components without the CSL stamp since BMW used the thinner, lightweight CSL exhaust components for 2005+ M3s in Europe. These are not as rare as CSL-stamped parts, but these are effectively CSL components and not the standard, heavier Euro components for 2000-2004 M3s.

11627833500 - front manifold weighs 2.1KG (2000 - 2004 standard euro manifold 11627830658 weighs 2.6KG / CSL manifold 11627833500 weighs 2.1KG)
11627833643 - rear manifold weighs 1.8KG (2000 - 2004 standard euro manifold 11627830660 weighs 2.2KG / CSL manifold 11627833643 weighs 1.8KG)
18307836508 - catalytic converter weighs 10.7KG (2000 - 2004 standard euro catalytic converter weighs 12KG / CSL catalytic converter 18307833673 weighs 10.7KG)

$2,000 USD for the Euro “CSL” equivalent headers
$2,000 USD for the Euro “CSL” equivalent catalytic converter

Open to a package deal on the two together because I’d love for these to go to another enthusiast on the forums; otherwise, I’ll hold on to these for any potential future M3 additions to the stable.

I'm selling these because I sourced CSL-stamped components and don't want to keep three different sets of Euro headers and Euro cats in my garage anymore (in addition to the brand new SS 63.5MM system I have for sale as well).

I can provide more pictures for anyone that's interested (thickness measurements, etc.)

Located in Encino, CA and can meet anywhere in the SFV / Santa Monica / Westwood areas but can also ship at a reasonable price.

"CSL equivalent without the CSL stamp"

That's rich. lmfao

Well… they are. What else should I say? They’re not the original euro headers as they’re technically the same as the CSL equivalents without the stamp.

How about “these are the lightweight, limited production euro parts from the 2005+ M3 and they’re more valuable to some people than heavier euro headers and cats”. Price still reflects the same.

You say "these are euro headers" because that's what they are; standard parts. They are not rare and you're trying to pretend they are with wordplay.

In other news I unknowingly have had CSL tail lights so I just decided they are worth twice as much as brand new ones since they're technically the same and were limited production.

That’s cool!

Some people just have a hard time explaining things because maybe you just don’t know. They are not CSL, CSL headers use a thinner and lighter steel and yes indeed have a stamp. These aren’t stamped for the said reason above, they are standard euro headers and brand new they go for $900-$1100.

I will admit I don’t know that the CSL cats used the thinner metal or not but maybe bmwfnatic can provide some clarity.

either way to each there own GLWS.

These weight the same as CSL cats, just like 2005+ euro headers are, in fact, CSL headers without the stamp.

Why is this such a difficult concept for people to understand? bmwfnatic can, indeed, opine.

2005+ M3 headers are the same as CSL headers, part numbers are the same as well. But 2005+ M3’s barely exist in Europe, so they are still rare.

2005+ M3 cats have a different part number compared to CSL cats, but by weighing them and also the weight listed in RealOEM I have confirmed that they are in fact the lighter CSL cats under a different part number.

Even I can be schooled, thank you for further clarification davidinnyc bmwfnatic

free bump and best of luck selling these.

[simplem3]

I blame BMW…

[davidinnyc]

Thanks everyone - these are sold and will be going on an insanely clean 2006 M3 shortly.

How come Europe barely has 2005+ m3’s?

This is news to me.
