Couple of updates:
What i've learned with this platform is that you need to buy parts when you can, not necessarily when you want. I have already missed out on a few things, thinking, "I'll just get it later down the line." BMW parts become NLA (slicktop headliner), privately owned companies suddenly stop making parts (such as mile end composites, etc).
Due to this, I ordered the Vorsteiner CSL rear diffuser. Judging by all the photos I have seen, it is a true 1:1 replica of the CSL diffuser, ridge and all. It actually seems to fit better than the original CSL diffuser, especially in the upper corners. Vorsteiner is local, so I will pick up the diffuser and do a mockup once ready.
Karbonius CSL interior parts should ship near the end of this month (November 2023). I have been collecting all the accessory parts (hazard trim, mirror switch trim, brackets, etc) as well as preparing the wiring for a streamlined install.
Z4 rearview mirror (51-16-9-134-400) installed. The mirror that came with the car looked chunky and out of place, I previously deleted the SOS module in the trunk, and i'm not a fan of the auto-dim feature. The Z4 mirror has less features to potentially break, is shaped better, and has the smoked grey "clown nose". The mirror fits perfectly with the streamlined, driver focused theme I am going with. The simpler, the better.
