Back on topic why a CSL Carbon Intake since its not a CSL hence not worth buying the original. There are 2 places that produce Carbon Airboxs in the UK that I know of it would be cheaper to go down that route (no doubt more but not my area of expertise.) Evolve link below http://evolveautomotive.com/engine-e...on-airbox_693/ Hope this helps |

I won't go on trying to debate this with everyone. I know as much as there is to know about the M3 CSL and all it's lightweight and performance components. I also know about all the other options out there when it comes to aftermarket parts. I am looking for an intake if one is for sale, that's it.
I have my reasons and opinions, so please keep this thread on track. Just looking for an intake if one becomes available for sale. Quote:

I never see GT3 or Turbo S owners feeling genuinely threadened by people putting the wrong bits on their cars in the same was as some of you guys do. Of course it isn't a CSL unless it says so on the V5, even if the car is lighter/faster/better handling. Is the parts issue really that bad? How many people have needed to replace their airbox?

BMW unforuntatley don't have the vision to keep OEM CSL parts available ... With what is left being snapped up by non CSL cars, in the event of a genuine CSL needinig said item , that owner is up the creek This is the issue. its not an issue with people creating their own interpretations . |

In that case I would blame BMW, not the wannabees. Frustrating either way.

2 year wait on camshafts or a engine takes the p*ss.
Can you order a roof still or front bumper? |

whenever the manufacturer makes the parts a direct bolt ob replacement there will be people who buy them yo tart up their lesser cars. The only way to avoid this would be to have more parts which are unique, such as cylinder head or a wider/different bodyshell, all of which would make the whole project either much more expensive or just not viable. I guess we just have to live with it. MC |

Id say also race cars but 99% of those will have gone for the GS version. |
