Csl roof no longer available!!!!!!

[ixm3]

I would not tray and make a roof :bigcry: Thats a different job all together.

Its all the standard M3s in the USA that have been buying all the CSL roofs up :banghead:

At least one roof made it into the US via the dealer network but then BMWUSA caught on and restricted all CSL parts from import into the US.

Even with a genuine vin you can't get CSL parts here in the US (ask me how I know).

They took it one step farther and excluded all non-US parts under the excuse that they are not US DOT federalized for sale and therefor would open a can of liability worms. Every once in while you can sneak a harmless part into the system, but its rare.

From my experience with NLA E30 SportEvo parts, BMW will wait for the request que to fill up to some critical mass and then reproduce a missing part. This happened with SportEvo rear spoilers in th past and more recently with Nagaro Silver 16in wheels. (After we found the wheels had become available again, some friends and I ordered a pallet full to put away!) artyman:

Is all these Mickey Mouse people with regular M3s trying to make it look CSL

Why do we even care? It's not as if any of us need a new roof? Does the OP have a CSL? why the need for a new roof?

If my CSL needed a new roof, it would probably be a wreck!:wink:

Thanks.

Would be good if we could get a definitive view from BMW on all the CSL specific parts and whether they will supply them.

No idea how you go about that though

My brother was telling me yesterday that BMW (and others in EU) has a legal obligation to supply parts for 40 years from the production date of the car.
I will have a definitive answer in a few days, but again, I would be very surprised if you cannot have the roof even if it means to wait for 3,6,8 months.

As a side note, you can order pretty much anything for the E12 and E21.
Why not all parts for a special and quite expensive E46 ?

Any proof on that?
