What is the oem csl made of? Cf?? I assume its lighter than stock but is it as light as the aftermarkets? Anyone know what is the weight difference from oe stock metal to the oe csl?

My SGT trunk fits close to OEM. Really happy with it, but it purchased during their heyday of being a reputable vendor. Nowadays I'd stick with OEM.

The ones people are showing are the factory ones but filament bulbs. The newer BMW ones are LED and a lot of us CSL trunk owners swaped to these.

Ok found my photo and part number. 63.26.7.193.293

I'll make a DIY when I get my trunk painted in a couple weeks. I have a lot of free time with a stay at home order in place

Any luck on that guide yet? Trying to find a wiring DIY before I order all the pieces to wire it up.

Just curious, how does the production of the OEM trunks work through BMW? Do they produce in batches every year and will they continue to do so?

Curious also on info of weight of the OEM CSL trunk. I have street/track car but looking to see what is the lightest with the best fitment. maybe vorsteiner?

No progress yet on my trunk unfortunately. My CSL trunk liner is stuck in transit and most shops around me don't seem to want to take on the work right now.

I think this is the rough idea:

I will be getting OEM when I buy a CSL trunk in the future

Another must have item I have to buy

And it sounds like a unanimous decision on OEM !

Check Schmiedmannn for OE as well. Got mine there for less including freight than ECS at the time. I replaced an SGT CF one. Annoying to add weight back onto the car but honestly I prefer the more substantial feel when opening and closing, and the fit is better. I’ll make up for it with a CF roof

I need to finish up the wiring to the license plate lamps (using the e39 lamps).

Currently going through trying to button up few loose ends that's been on back burner since 2004.


Are folks running the trunk with or without the toolkit?

I do have the toolkit retrofitted to the OE CSL trunk lid back when it was installed in 2007 (urgh...) but i've been hanging on to the CSL liner since.

I guess i need to try opening and closing with and without the added weights on lid.

Oem all day. Why buy a replica trunk when the oem trunk is only a little more in price.

[Maxima SE]

anyone know why BMW decided to mass produce the OEM CSL trunk lately? is it because they finally realize a ton of money could be made? if so... why not make other CSL parts?

Nobody answered my question about convertible CSL trunks, rip...
