Even parts that are still supposedly available but not in stock can take up to 12 months to source from time of order - for eg door panels.

So yes it’s a concern, a serious concern. I get the feeling that BMW simply want this car to die eventually as the back up support for it is appauling.

My advice, buy replica parts and put it in the car to use it. I have been doing this on and off for years and yes I agree it’s at a point where it’s almost scary to use the car on the road. I’ve ended up building a replica just so I can enjoy some CSLness on a stock M3.

It is going to be part of the Mobile Tradition soon but not yet. But even when that happens not every part will be remade, only those toolings they decide to keep and be prepared to wait for reproduction! I was told once a guy waited 6 years for a part to turn up for his Mk1 M5!!!
