CSL Bootlid price increase?

[rbg]

I am not sure you will be paying taxes, but rather may pay US custom fees. On a top of it is kinda gamble as in experience sometime you pay sometime you don't regardless on the total cost of your purchase.

If you scroll down they translate the Russian

I’ve messaged them before to ask about it and it is molded off a genuine CSL bootlid
3.5kg weight vs the 11+ of the OE one. Full prepreg carbon construction and they claim fitment is 100% accurate. Ships worldwide also.

They seem reputable also with someone I know in the UK buying a rear seat delete from them without issues.

Very well made products.

Indeed looks great. I cant find a CSL e46 trunk in their catalog, have you seen it there?

I wonder if Karbonius has a CSL trunk in their pipeline of eventual products.

A year ago, I asked them about plans to make a CSL rear diffuser. Ana said they had an issue with the mold and didn't plan to offer it, at least not at the moment (direct quote).

Not a great sign but still worth asking the question

do we need a sticky for parts that are experiencing increases in price, supply issues, or are NLA?

how long does BMW usually keep making parts? I think somebody said earlier that e30 guys are having problems with availability of certain things? what do we need to start stockpiling?

CSL front wheels (jk it’s too late)

I’ve heard maybe m-performance e-brakes.

One of the nice things about the e46 M3 being the best selling M3 ever is that we should have better than average part support. Even if BMW stops ordering, their suppliers are more than average likely to continue offering the parts.

its really hit/miss with E30 parts and trying to figure what parts will be in demand. For example i think a couple of the big ticket items that are NLA with the E30 M3 are the front strut housings & rear exterior C-pillar replacements. with our cars CSL parts will always be a top dollar demand item.....including airboxes. We've seen companies like Vorsteiner NLA their products for E46 M3s....and think other companies that produce products for our car will follow suit as these cars get older.

I panic bought the lid and interior trunk trim from ECS, ETA is Feb 8th, 2021. Hopefully they honor the price?

ECS does price matching so they more than likely will. They can probably afford to honor a few of these unlike smaller companies. Doesn't hurt to call and ask.

Group buy?! Their stuff does look excellent. Would love to see it mounted and fitted.

I could get on board depending on price and fitment...

Tuner has it at the same price with free shipping.

Tuner has it at the same price with free shipping.

Turner = ECS. ECS owns Turner.

[Ag09243]

Yes, but ECS is charging for shipping when checking out. Tuner has free shipping. Just saying incase BMWahba paid for shipping.

In my experience in the E30 world, it's the weird BMW-specific parts that start disappearing. Trim pieces, kidney grilles, the metal window borders. BMW doesn't give a fuck about their old cars, otherwise they'd set up a real classic division a la Porsche Classic and charge people up the ass for parts.
