CSL TRUNKS ON SALE

[heinzboehmer]

I have a Karbonius trunk on order. Will post plenty of pics once it arrives.

Saw one in person recently. Quality and fitment were great (as expected from Karb). Thought it was an OE one before I asked the owner about it.

Also, I was expecting the trunk to be way too light for the struts, and thus hard to close. But in reality, it felt very similar to my stock trunk.

If anyone has a gen 1 (sub 2010 production) OE CSL trunk they are looking to part with lmk! Lol.

For real though, the quality at $3500 is laughable. Just wait for Karb or Millend to come out with their OE molds which will exceed the quality and fitment of the current batch of OE CSL trunks assuming both companies hold their end of the bargain. Judging by the quality and fitment of their other offerings the trunk looks promising.

On sale for ~$2,200 on ECS.

I'd imagine their cost is well below $2K, especially given that they sold several at ~$1,600 after the supposed price hike from BMW (was listed at $3,048 on the site prior to the ~$1,600 sale).

I assume this is another "pricing error" on the ECS site given it's still listed at $3,048 on Turner.

Can confirm it isn’t in those in stock. BMW OEM parts are priced dynamically by BMW directly. Retailers will have automatic retail pricing algorithms.

Wasn't the trunk 1600 for like ten years or some such? I'd be surprised if dealer net didn't change after that and all this virus bs.

Everything else went up, why would the trunk be immune to this? Are they feeding it ivermectin?

I haven't been following the pricing on these for very long so I'm not familiar with the historical change in retail. I believe they've been priced north of $3K for a decent portion of '21, though (prior to rampant inflation concerns of recent months).

Price isn't going to go below their cost I can guarantee that.

Price would go down even more, but you all keep buying them, so yeah, capitalism.

full disclosure: I prefer the styling of the stock trunk.

Man I hope I didn’t lose out. I bought one brand new from someone for $2400 shipped. I still got a great deal, but not as good as the first time these went down in price

Price for the OE lid went back down again at ECS Tuning.

[Epoustouflant]

Interesting. I find it hard to believe people are willing to pay $3,500 shipped for an unpainted CSL bootlid.

I think it stretched (and broke) the elastic. It allowed many aftermarket manufacturers to bring out quality CF trunks to fill the void.

[jet_dogg]

Great, thanks Matt! Hopefully there's the possibility of a material discount, maybe down to the price they had listed a few months back. (~$1,600).

Prices for the OEM bootlids have dropped across all sellers which I assume is the result overestimating demand and people's willingness to pay absurd money for a trunk.

I wonder how many OEM bootlids ECS/Turner have actually sold at these new inflated prices (with the exception of those who were able to purchase at ~$1,600 from Turner a few months back).

Please keep us posted - there's definitely demand for them at a reasonable price point.

I'm waiting for them to come down to $650, what I originally paid for my first one.
