CSL Bootlid price increase?

I’ve rarely felt it was a “smart” decision to buy an expensive, essentially pointless automobile part, but my $977 OE CSL trunk invoice isn’t looking so bad anymore

Thanks to those of you who have reached out to me to inquire about a trunk lid.

As said above retail is $4045.90. https://www.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/pa...%3D41007895884

I do not charge retail, but these are not cheap. My cost is much higher than ECS/Turner which I suspect is why they aren't selling these, because at their price they aren't making any money. I don't make much on these either, I have a small shop that caters to a small core group of clients and that is the only reason why I went down this road in the first place. But when you factor in the time it takes for me to go the dealer inspect (multiple times) and pick-up, store, cover credit card fees and sales tax then these aren't a big "money maker" as some people are implying with their responses to my price. And I will not ship them as if you saw how poorly they are packaged from BMW you'd see it's a miracle they aren't all damaged.

I feel I won the lottery buying mine when I did. I'd say the Slon or the eventual MileEnd trunks will be the way of the future.

Man, I purchased a trunk from MMS tuning way back in the day and got ripped off for $2,000. Never saw the trunk. Fast forward to a yea or so ago, I was going to buy a trunk and figured no rush. Now I doubt I'll ever buy one....haha.

Who would have ever guessed CSL trunks are bringing better returns than the stock market. I think it's a worthy mod to do for $1k, but at $4k there is a very limited amount of people who have both the means and desire to buy one. Hopefully BMW will rethink their pricing when these trunks start to sit around unsold. I passed on a rough E46 M3 last month for roughly $4k for an entire car.

Remember last year when you sent me the slightly damaged one on ECS for $800 and I passed? I remember 😔

No doubt! I bought mine for $1100 already painted to match my car.

BMW won’t rethink shit. The only thing they rethink is oil. I agree though 4K is a hard pass unless I had a mint collector grade example or if mine rockets in value to 30k. Too bad, I need a new trunk too. I knew this would happen and just kept putting it off, price was too good.

I purchase mine for $1200 from the local dealer in February 2020 and it arrived after 9 months lol

[SteelGreyM]

Wow that’s insane. They weren’t showing back ordered when you guys ordered. I’d be pissed.

I received another updated shipping date from ECS, June 1st.
