Will do. Thank you sir. :beer:

Max, welcome to the forum!

As Glendog mentioned earlier on, i have been turning my standard M3 2003, into a CSL. I won't go all out and remove sound insulation, sat nav etc but have, what i call - the must - have CSL parts. Steering rack plus DSC reflash, Wheels, engine specification (CSL cams and exhaust valves) MSS54HP ECU (all M3s beyond 2004 have it) CSL SMG software, Recaro seats, upgraded brakes, headers and Supersprint 'street' exhaust, CSL anti roll bars, alcantara steering wheel, M track mode retrofit and a few more bits.

The OEM CSL carbon airbox - installed and tuned by Evolve. Works exactly like on the CSL... perfect and smooth idle and start up. Highly recommended modification. :thumbs:

Good luck with your project and as for the CSL carbon fibre roof - i'm still in two minds about it.... cutting out mine and installing CSL one so the car is rigid.. is it possible? How is it done on the CSL? What has BMW used to bond that roof?

So you were able to get the OEM CSL air box to work properly?! Im going to have to PM you for the details because no one here in the states has ever made it work properly. They just install it and have the flap always open because they cant get it to open at the right RMP's and the idle is rough.

Yes the OEM CSL roof has been installed on a non CSL car. I plan on doing this too. Here is a link where daytonaviolet did it on his car. He knows a lot about anything CSL.

Many of us CSL owners actually remove the flap :hahaha:

Max, thanks for the link!! :thumbs: It's one of my next mods, it's been decided since i convinced my wife the sunroof spoils handling. (she wanted me to retrofit this!!!!):thumbs:

I never bothered with the motorised flap as they do go faulty and don't open, resulting in loss of power. By the time you know what's happeneing - you'll lose a lot of races...... that's my explanation anyway. :hahaha:

For the flap to work, you need to retrofit wiring loom and install the CSL software on MSS54HP ECU. The diagrams are available but i can dig it out for you.

Good luck! ;)

Because they always break and serve no purpose other than to lower noise :thumbs:
