    Spot the Alcantara steering wheel with the 'M' button, CS ( CSL look) alloy wheels with narrower 8J fronts, etc.. It should also have the CSL larger front brake discs (rotors) and the CSL steering rack too :smokin:
    Oh, it seems that i missed that!

    Indeed. Nice choice of putting CSL's steering rack.

      If your only interested in the external appearance, that's a good start but you missed the carbon roof and the 8.5" front wheels: http://www.karbonius.es/web_ing/prod.../base_bmw.html :whistle:
      Have a word with 'm3dragon' aka Adam in CA, he knows what it takes and more importantly, how much!

      PS: loose the shark fin a CSL wouldn't be seen dead sporting one of those! :smokin:
      Funny you mention as I have just spoken to him last night, yes it's indeed very expensive to go full CSL! I have decided to stick with the following,
      Front bumper/rear diffuser/CSL boot lid/CF center console/CSL Front/rear seats/CF roof/CF door cards.

      Can you guys please help me source this stuff!? So far I have
      Front seats, CF center console, Diffuser, back seat minus the bench.

      Yes absolutely genuine parts only or no go!

        Looks like you missed the most important item - the air box, without that it won't sound like a CSL.
        Hence the reason for attaching the Link.

        As for genuine parts I'd say you would be very lucky in getting them, with the car being 10 years old a lot of parts are now longer available. BMW will no longer simply provide specific parts that are, without; a Vin, proof of ownership and a valid registration no. :whistle:

        You may have some success with ebay and recycled parts, but don't hold your breath.

            Good luck finding a New "GENUINE" CSL CF roof they've been N/A for sometime :whistle:

                I know what they are . Do you know what they cost for a set of genuine ones?

                  He could go aftermarket. It is (almost) the same thing. Maybe better!

                    And then you are sticking aftermarket stuff on a mint CS.

                    No-way I would do that.

                      If you can't find a solution with some things..perforce you have to go aftermarket. I would never do that (thank God i'm alright with my parts) but i don't believe that an aftermarket CSL roof would be so different than the OEM. You can even choose the carbon fibre layer's pattern.

                        If I can't source genuine I won't do it!

                          You can forget about the "Genuine CSL" CF roof for a start then that sunroof steel roof of your CS is going to look very odd with the CSL bumper & boot lid.

                            I'm pretty sure I could allocate a slightly used one
