You guys are basically ruining it for all the CSL owners and any future possibility of keeping these genuine CSLs running in the future.

Lot of the parts are now supplied as a kit rather than as individual components - which is what that note denotes.



Perhaps time to start restricting USA access to the website : P
Ha, I don't think you're going to stop that flow. That said, might be better to focus your annoyance at BMW-- they could make more parts, if they decided to.

If there were factory parts available for your car that were better, I doubt you wouldn't install them

Its ridiculous that so many CSL wannabes have original CSL parts and we are exposed.
In case we have an issue/accident we might not be able to replace the parts with CSL parts because some people got them to CSLize their simple M3s.
You realize every CSL is a CSLized simple M3?

I agree you should email BMW, though. Not making parts for a car that has only been out of production for 10 years is an absurd situation. I wouldn't expect to curb the flow to non CSL owners, though-- they're all already going through legitimate CSL owners. What can they do beyond that?
