CSL v's M3 - Exact part differences needed!!

[Craig]

Well, here it is....

There is a set of photo's showing how the damage occured, but I'm going to hold off posting those for the moment but will eventually hopefully be able to show everyone.

[Craig]

Ohh it aint pretty, its gonna need a new shell if it was to be rebuilt. I'll get some pictures up of the damage later when I'm home from work.

[TANKSLAPPER]

Criag what sort of damage have you got ?

I've got some bits front seats, rear seats, suspensions both bilstein and OEM, wheels.

If I can be any help, let me know.

Not me at the ring - probably the other nathan with the green one?

[windy]

You'd get a fair bit if you broke it, though obviously it depends on how much you get it for in the first place!

Front seats seem to be 2k, all door cards about 1k, wheel 200-400, centre console about 500... list goes on!

What state is it in at the moment then?

E30 with CSL engine and Airbox now i would like to see that :thumbs:

seems really difficult, cause you have to keep all sensors/wiring loom from the E46.....or choose a new management system for the engine, but i know there is no after market management system for the smg gearbox, so :smt009........a challenge anyone ??

Hmm mebbie, really do want to stay e46 if I can its all down to cost and what not.

You were out at the 'Ring in early July weren't you Nathan?

[_Nathan_]

Build an e46 race car

[Craig]

Thanks so much, I've still got many idea's running through my head about what to do with the car. I'm thinking breaking it for bits might be the best idea, cut my losses then try and find another CSL or maybe dedicate an e36 for track use.

Orrrrrr.... CSL engines E30 with SMG!! - Must stop putting idea's into my own head.

Blimey! You really are a mine of information! Very useful indeed.

Dare i say you need to get out more, however... :hahaha:

[phat///M3]

That may take a while.... I'd reckon there's a fair few parts that make up an M3 or CSL, so comparing the two lists... :bigcry:

Fair point, but I meant to compare the bits that he wants to buy as Im assuming he is not building a CSL from the ground up.

[windy]

Just a thought, but if you use realoem.com you will be able to compare all the part numbers between the 2 cars.
