Csl roof no longer available!!!!!!

[Straightsix]

Just spoke with Lee at BMW Park Lane. He reckons replacement splitters are available and put an order in for me.

So we'll see what happens. Half expecting a NLA phonecall.

Nice one.

[northernjim]

Feck off!!! We've spent the last year telling Jim how shite they are!:whistle::wink::hahaha:

Mean while back in the real world

For those of u that are after M3 CSL parts u are better off contacting BMW Park Lane Classic Lee/Jamie and if the part is NLA they will make a note of requests and encourage BMW to produce more parts unlike other BMW Dealers :-)

Hi mate
I was on a BMW Car Club GB trip to Park Lane last week. We had a tour of all the showrooms service and parts departments and lunch.
They were explaining on parts tour how they deal with requests for parts how they check stock in UK. There are 2 warehouses in UK for BMW. Also explained his they check stock in Germany. They also said often they get cases where sometimes a part is NLA but they always double check with BMW AG in Germany as sometimes they have a part there. They were explaining they go the extra mile compared to other BMW Dealers. Well I guess they would say that. Park Lane are also owned by BMW UK. I have ordered many parts myself on my BMWs and Lee is a good guy. Just my two cents worth. They also deal with lots of BMW Classic queries all over the world such as E9 3.0 CSL, 2002s, 328s .... Etc.

And if they don't have a part they will register your interest. Also Lee keeps detailed records of orders; requests etc which I don't think other BMW Dealers do. During the tour I was asking him about M3 CSL parts and the Park Lane MD. they can make any part but is down to demand .... Obviously cost is an issue too. And if they cannot make it chances are they will know one if their suppliers or get the original drawings from BMW AG.

Yes I don't know anyone here so I might not understand some of these jokes. But I am a big BMW fan .... M3 CSL is my favourite BMW. At the moment I have M3 CS Coupe Manual; E46 323Ci Coupe; E30 325i Sport. Love a CSL though :-)

Hi thanks yes the E30 is a bit ropey as most are this is a early Sport pre facelift

Something about the E30s they go sideways at will

They certainly do, and great when fitted with an LSD

Well if this is true then looks like im pretty much buggered as I was really looking forward to getting an OEM CSL roof for my M3 in the near future.

You and me both. I would have ordered it long ago if I had known it was going to go NLA.

what!! i thought you had a csl roof already :bigcry:

Gone the way of the 'Carbon Flippers' NLA from BMW, the appear to be winding down the CSL parts production at it approaches the 10yr model cycle.

Can confirm carbon flippers are available to order through dealer network as I just had some arrive as spares. Took less than a week from Germany, although they arrive unlacquered.

How much are they ?

[alexk]

although they arrive unlacquered.

That's weird

[outnumbered]

That's weird

Sounds like a manufacturing issue, doesn't it ?

[0836whimper]

£200 each.

I was advised they would be unlacquered, BMW UK advised that before I agreed to have them sent. Bit odd though I agree.

[alexk]

I got a set 2 years ago. They are the 'new version' (with 4 holes, check NZ_M3's thread).
They are lacquered.

What is going on with the cost reduction ? :119:
