One of the best builds around Love this car.

Good but not as good as Paul's aka 'CSL spurs': https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/c...n-estoril-blue IMO :thumbs:
No pretensions just a CSL with comfy seats :hahaha: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" :whistle:

I have watched that car as well. Very well built and love the color. I will say though he is cheating as it is far easier to get parts in Europe than US, Australia, and elsewhere.

Back at you sir =), not sure if you saw but we are close to getting the parts to make the flap work on our cars.

I believe there are no more roofs and intakes for the CSL. If there are some they are locked away is some secret warehouse.

Some of the guys here state side are trying kicking themselves for not getting them when we could.

Who said they couldn't get them in the States, whilst trawling the tinternet earlier today I found this, too nice for Salford Quays and Palm Trees in Docklands - I don't think so (could be wrong):

The caption reads:
"The seller of this 2003 BMW M3 claims that it is one of 843 left hand drive factory CSL lightweight M3′s built, of which none were ever allocated to North America.
Sure, every SoCal teenager now has these rims and the CSL ducktail on their M3, but there is something very special about the genuine article loaded with carbon fibre.
Find it here on eBay in Miami, Florida).

Obviously nothing stops them being sold once they're in, the link is dead, 'Car now Sold' but just goes to show where there's a will there's a way!:thumbs:

[m3dragon_csl]

See post 13, there are two brought into the states through puerto rico. The one you posted is one of those. The other is black and is in NY I believe. Issue it that is very long, and $$$ process. Based on math it is cheaper to buy all the real parts then install them.

Another issue is registration with DOT and then local state DMV.

But yes if there is a will there is a way. In 20 years form the last production date we can directly import them here. I bet you anything you will see a few of them disappear from over there and end up state side.
