    1M CSL project

    Hello guys. I would like to ask you if it is possible to put an S54 from a CSL into the 1 series? I'm looking for a strictly track day car so i'm think of buying a second one 1 series model, not a 1M this time, just a 120d Coupe, make all the 1M's body conversion and put the S54 in.

    Is anyone familiar with that kind of conversion?

      It's been done I'm sure I've seen it, can't find the link but remember it was a grey 1M with a CSL engine and CSL Esque tweaks like a carbon roof, front end with single hole and duck tale type boot etc.

      On iPhone at the moment so not easy to do a full search of the site, rob posted it I think

        I've seen that car @ Quarry Motors BMW breaker who were selling it a few years ago and that was based on a 118d Coupe using the 4.0 V8 out of the E9x M3 + HARTGE did a 5.0 V8 conversion (out of the E39 M5) using a 5 door 1 series hatch shell:http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/...ries-hartge-v8 ... proper sleeper :smokin:

          Isn't it an ex-CSL owner has that? He's on Instagram as "Tarmac Terrorist"

          Love that Hartge! :smokin:

                I believe that the first conversion of a V8 engine inside in an 1M was made in US and not long after the completion the car was crashed. It was a white one.

                I would love to see it. I intend to put a Vorsteiner carbon roof, maybe a small and discreet CSL look alike bootlid and of course the whole engine-transmission conversion. No CSL bumbers and things like that.

                One of the first conversion that a serious tuning house made. Amazing since today! Respect to the HARTGE people.

                    Very interesting but why a CSL engine ?

                    I have another project.
                    An M6 stripped and caged.
                    1st stage 700PS and I am sure it will obliterate GT3s and the likes.

                      Alex i want to go in that way because CSL's engine is already the tuned version of the S54 engine in general and i want it for it's immediacy.

                      The M6 sounds insane with the above specs. I hope you mean the E63 series, which for me remains the best so far.

                        A good customer of mine has it, he recently took it over to the ring for some fun :thumbs:

                          I would go for the F12 of course.

                              Really...? I find it more 'sleeper' than it's predecessor..
