My 15th M3, and First CSL - Page 5

What was that you said about having a budget?
You've caught the OEM Pristine bug! Better seek treatment before it spreads!
Wing Repeaters, CSL Grill Badges and Sill Strips, then it will be on to Bonnet and Boot badges, all documented symptoms of the bug taking hold.

Bit late, boot badge was snook onto an earlier BMW visit, as were the missing strut brace nut covers, and Airbag & Running in stickers

For 15+ years I've been returning M's to their OEM finest, but the CSL may cause me the most pain, especially if I look into sorting the rear seat plastics, and rear defuser etc.

Quick Clean and Polish before the Snow comes.....

Looking Good, Stickers - what about the other 2, 'Cups' Warnings? Job's only half done, OCD at its finest!

Arrh! But I believe mine was originally supplied with the m Forged Alloys, so wouldn't have had the cup warning sticker?, so didn't want to make it something it wasn't, so how's that for OCD, also it was originally de-badged, but I just couldn't bring myself to remove the CSL badge, after all I've waited 10 years to won one, so why would I remove the very thing that shows it "Special" ;0)

After having the alloys redone, couldn't resist treating her to some new M Badges, and not only that some new centre caps, a quick £50 spend these days! I remember when the centre caps were £3.00!

So final job is side vents, but not in a rush to drop £300 on them, especially after the wheel and tyre refresh.

Arrh but Arrh, correct on all counts but you're no longer on M Forged, and presumably come the summer or a track day, you might be wanting to try a set of Cups - just planning ahead!
