    Funny timing since I just ordered both sides on eBay last week. They are both coming from Lithuania and the order is supposed to be shipped within 15 days. Still waiting to see if the order gets filled and shipped. Crossing my fingers since the vendor showed it was the last items available for each side.

        They weren't cheap, but I've been wanting them for years since installing the CF roof. They were around $260 each. Don't judge me haha!

          I would keep an eye on that order, those dealers from Lithuania on eBay have a habit of posting as available only to cancel the order a few weeks later due to non-availability. Had that had happen to me several times, especially on CSL parts.

            Yeah I hear you. I had to take a chance since I couldn't find them anywhere else.

              By the sounds of it, NLA.

              There was a member parting out a low-mileage CSL on here a few weeks back. Maybe check with him?

              For sale, the infamous CSL "cardboard" trunk floor, it is not really cardboard but a very lightweight once piece design, very light compared to the normal M3 2 piece part. Comes from a 16k mile European CSL. Part number; 51477895990 (https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/part?id=BL95-EUR---E46-BMW-M3+CSL&mg=51&sg=6

                Can't you just repaint your existing rails?

                  In short, yes. But your non-CSL rails have flaps to access the mounting holes for a roof rack. The CSL version is one solid piece. Both are plastic and overpriced for what they are.

                        +1 I’m surprised no one has jumped on this csl being dismantled. I know I didn’t buy a extra OEM csl carbon roof and light weight rear windshield 😝😝🥳

                              Yeah i got a bunch of parts from this car, a while back actually, I just missed out on the trunk floor but its all good. Im done after this minus the CSL DSC system. I have CSL M track mode already coded so thats good and i prefer the cruise and radio buttons on the steering.....
