Just had a email from the dealer in the week but this is the 1st time I've had good news apart from "bmw don't have any cams they need to make some and don't know when it will be"

This is becoming a mine field no one actually knows anything solid.roy at ca is saying he's been waiting 5 months for cams from schrick and he should receive them January.he also said this which is bmw won't have cams cos schrick haven't made the cams and schrick make the csl cams for bmw.so if schrick won't supply bmw with cams they sure ain't bending over for tuning companies are they?
Ca also reckon that the 288/280 are a standard csl profile cam not an upgraded set?any truth?
Second query is that bmw said the company they commissioned to make the cams went bust hence no cams so they have got a new company to produce cams that aledgedly have been failing up till now.
My question is when i get to bmw and they tell me the cams are dead where do i go from there?schrick have no cams till jan.bmw have no cams at all in my opinion otherwise billy would have his lump by now.im stuck!Comment

Shall we all order cams so as they finally produce them ?
I will order a set so as I have them in 2 years.Comment

Your basically screwed. But it if schrick are making them then hopefully you won't have a long wait. But least you get courtesy car over winter.
So maybe after a 16 month wait the car will be ready to drive in the snow.Comment

How much are they for a pair?Comment

Could you imagine me waiting 16 months? I would hire a mini bus get a load of big Turks run to germany and lift that museum piece out and say you can have it when i get my cams!Originally posted by billyboysm3 View PostComment

you mentioned earlier your cams might need replacing
What are the symptoms? other than the obvious knocking
Is there a subtle issue that is the beginning of a cam problem.Comment

I thought CSL cams were 272/280?
If someone wants to buy me some shrick cams I'll do a swap with my CSL ones :thumbs:Comment

Last time I got some CSL cams from Shrick they said they were in stock on ordering, then ended up waiting 4 months I think. Still quicker than BMW though!Comment

Ive developed an erratic idle that drops low enough to almost cut out but no it starts with a slight tick 3-5 times then clears.as it gets hot the ticking becomes more regular into a full on loud tap as if hitting 2 spoons together!Originally posted by cslsuperfan View Post
Don't forget this happened at 70k due to oil starvation top end so at 74k i know exactly whats about to happen so i nursed the car home by that time it was too late.this is what you get when you fit a worn cam to new rockers!poor show bmw thanks again!!Comment

You are correct.martin trackm3 has found valuable info that backs this up so the 280/288 are the upgrade and not stock csl profile.otherwise who would spend £2k with schrick for stock cams in a cslOriginally posted by _Nathan_ View Post
