Anyone waiting for a bumper? - Page 3

I think bmw dealers should really be more strict in terms of selling CSL parts to any non csl owners, so they have more stocks for genuine owners who need those items in unforeseen circumstances....

Take it steady out there, i had a full twitch on earlier today whilst travelling at a brisk (:D) pace in a straight line - quite scary for the second it lasted - thankfully the car kept going in a straight line after alittle correction (possibly more luck than skill!!!)

Quite agree!!!

Also agree. The car was never sold in the US yet there are hundreds of CSL parts over there. I don't blame the Yanks for wanting the bits for their M3s, but there are probably more people after parts over there than the amount of CSL owners collective in the UK!

Glad to hear youve got it back.

Id say there's more people after the parts over there than there is collective of CSL owners world wide - they're obsessed.

Back ends really twitchy in this weather, makes the drive more entertaining

There is a much simpler solution that trying to get BMW to vet people buying parts, after all I could go and buy 4 bumpers or any other CSL parts and sell them to the US.

The simple solution is (shock) for BMW UK to order parts as the stock levels start getting low and for BMW Germany to hold more stock and make stuff more often.

I'm probably going to sell my front bumper - Any idea what they go for?

Nathan,

why are you selling your CSL front bumper? Broken in anyway?

**Andyk** · 21-12-2008, 06:08 AM

I will always buy the smaller parts, interior, front splitters off ebay so I have spares.....just in case.....thats when I don't get outbid by someone on here

_Nathan_ · 21-12-2008, 11:18 AM

Not broken, going racing so thinking about buying either a cheap replica or something different.

Thanks guys for all the messages. Really is great to have it back. It looks like a new car and drives much better (IMHO) than the new M3s that I was loaned. Absence certainly did make the heart grow fonder! Well worth the wait.

Just got to change the sill plates now............
