used OEM CSL airbox

[///Mac_csl]

Hello,

I am looking for a used OEM CSL airbox. The reason I ask for a used one is because although I can get my hands on a new one, it is beyond my budget.

Long story short, I bought an aftermarket CSL airbox, which is flimsy and fits like crap. Lesson learned.

If you have one for sale, please PM me and let me know if you are willing to ship.

Thanks!

So you are presuming a used one will be cheaper than a new one

Good luck

A Geoff Steel airbox seems to be the aftermarket one of choice.

From what I have observed, yes.

Several used CSL airbox parts I've seen in the last few months on various BMW boards were significantly cheaper than a new one.

In fact, some that were new were cheaper than what you'd expect to pay at the dealership. For example: http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=474339

I was very close to snatching the air collector and control unit for $2k total, but a local guy got priority. Bummer.

Anyway, I really don't want this to turn into a debate on CSL airbox pricing. So please, if you have one for sale, PM me. But if you feel that you can only offer brand new pricing for a used one, then don't. Thanks.

We need them for our CSLs

CSL intake

Just wanted to bump this up and see if anyone has a CSL intake they would possibly be selling. I am interested in one as well. Perhaps if a CSL is parted out / broken for parts, going forced induction, or track/race prep.

Thanks!

Please leave CSL parts for CSLs.

Lol, I am building what BMW should have made in the first place. As a matter of fact, without the SMG components, my CSL build should be a bit lighter than the actual Coupe Sport Lightweight :smt080


Back on track, looking for one of these if one is available for sale

This type of thing genuinely irks me.

It irked me when I owned my B5 RS4. Front wings became in short supply because S4 owners were doing wide arch conversions.

I bet it irked Escort Cosworth owners when Ford ran out of front bumpers due to people buying them up to chop up and graft onto POS Fiestas.

BMW have done their best by requiring a chassis code to order specific parts but the internet has made it too easy to navigate around this.

My feeling is that CSLs are rare enough, and parts scarce enough, that what parts there are should be left for the genuine cars. You car will never be a genuine CSL so why insist on a genuine air box?
