Kidney grill question

[Foxy1305]

Just a quick question from a bemused 'owner' of two csl's... Well actually they are part of my father in laws collection and currently undergoing restoration.
One has a kidney grill with four vertical slats each side, the other with five. Are both correct?

I think your asking about the E9 CSL? If so I think the CSL should have 4 similar to the 2002 turbo, of the same period. You might try http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/ for a definitive answer.

Yes correct the e9. Now tried to register for the forum but failing the question. Colours of the m logo. I thought they were blue purple red!
