Where Are We Buying CSL Bumpers These Days?

[usdmej]

The days of bmw appeasing CSL owners by being exclusive with CSL parts is long gone, especially after they realized people were lining up to buy trunks at almost$3k each. Now it's more a waiting game praying bmw can find time to make another batch of "nla" parts

So if someone orders part 51-11-7-897-862, does it come with the carbon flippers, grill plastics and everything else needed to install on the M3? At least this is what Schmiedmann's parts link shows. I'm considering stashing one, but ordering from a USA BMW parts dealer in case something happens in shipping. I understand the USA BMW dealership cannot guarantee that BMW Germany will even sell it to a non-CSL buyer.

I have not, but they speak English, so probably worth a call.

Anyone in the USA have experience buying a new OEM CSL bumper from Schmiedmann recently? Had no idea it's not NLA.

Waiting for Vorsteiner again. They've been the only ones who made an affordable option and it was readily available for the longest time. They also have a very proven platform now, it's been about 15 years if I recall that they've been producing parts.

I picked up a set from their recent 103 units run: front, trunk, diffuser. It's coming together on my EAG car at EAG.

my guess is aluminum is stiffer seing how beefy/heavy it is. But I won't crash 2 cars to verify haha

CF isn't going to win any prizes for impact resistance

I’m not an engineer or materials expert at all so pls don’t judge too hard. But is there a difference in strength between the aluminum and CF bars?

Just to make it clear, with the aluminum rebar version, you actually only need the shock mounts supports, no need for the aluminum reinforcement beam as it's already made in CF into the bumper. So it makes a huge weight saving on 2001-2002 M3

I have an aluminum bumper support available in the LA area if anyone needs it for this, just taking up space so I’ll pass it on for cheap. lmk.
