    What OE BMW M3 CSL parts are still available through BMW?

    Like the title says what OE BMW M3 CSL parts are still available through BMW? I know the CSL carbon fiber roof, airbox, and seats are NLA. People are saying that saying the CSL trunk maybe NLA. What about other parts like the diffuser, front bumper, center console, door panels etc?

    What are CSL owners doing for replacement parts should they need it for their CSL?

    Front bumpers are still available but BMW insist in seeing a proper CSL VIN number now.

      AFAIK, front bumper, trunk, diffuser, center console, trim, airbox (these are still available or at least ECS has a few laying around), wheels, suspension, exhaust (headers to section 3), mirror switch and floormats.

      If something is NLA, I think most CSL owners either go with Geoff Steele or Karbonius parts.

        just search "M3 CSL" on ECS and see what they can get you, it looks like almost everything is available except for the roof and seats/panels if you have the budget and patience

        it probably goes without saying that any actual CSL owner can easily develop a working relationship with their local dealer for sourcing parts

          Unless you have a parts guy connection, BMW USA will not sell you Eurospec parts.
          It has been several years now.
          I was looking into getting the Evo 2 spec front airdam for my E30 M3 and the local dealer informed me of the change in rules.
          A few years previously, a friend had obtained the same parts from the same dealer.
          on line is your best bet, as mentioned in earlier replies.

            Agreed, I got blocked from buying a little bumper bracket for E28 euro bumpers when just a few months before I'd ordered the entire main bumper from the same place. Had to go through Schmiedmann for a $4 part.

            For the OP's question, I believe the sway bars are NLA.

              I figured BMW would be tight with CSL parts and require a Vin #. There are enough vendors who potentially have access to CSL vin # to order the parts. That’s not my worry. The thing is, not sure which parts bmw intends to discontinue. My understanding the Carbon Fiber roof is no longer produced. The rear door panels are not produced but the fronts door panels are. There are rumors that the CSL trunk is on the chopping block. Seems like BMW might be phasing out CSL parts since the car is over 15yrs old. I figure might start jumping on parts before you no longer can’t.

                But if you have a friend in the right place.
                The NLA parts that are critical, can be produced once demand hits a break even point. The trunk lid for example, I'm sure they would cook up a batch.
                But like Rotating regimes in politics, the powers that be have to be receptive, maybe.
                I had an E30 M3 rear valance panel on order for over 7 years from my local dealer. I went to a dealer in the UK that my brother frequents and found out when a batch had been made. Then I harrased my local dealer again, and obtained one.
