Arrow my M3 CSL

I started sometime ago a calendar type thread about my CSL which I stopped updating.
I think I will put this calendar here and start posting the updates here

A few things about my CSL.
My CSL is a Swiss version CSL, it has been sold and driven June of 2004.
It has automatic clima, rain sensor, radio cd, xenon lights and speed limiter removal.
Being a Swiss CSL also means it does not have the front license plate holder, as our plates here are tiny and amazing !

I got my CSL October 2008 with 44k km on the clock.
It had one owner.
It's a Silvergrey car (the fast ones)



Today the car has 92k km and a few modifications.
- AP racing front and rear brakes (front CP5555 with PF discs and Pagid RS14 / rear AP calipers with OEM discs and Pagid RS14)
- Powerflex ARB bushes front and rear
- GC racing front wishbone bushes
- Powerflex rear trailing arm bushes
- Supersprint Race lightweight backbox
- Ohlins TTX suspension with GC front top mounts, GC front ARB drop links, AST rear top mounts and Eibach springs
- Recaro bottom cushion in the driver's seat

Here are two photos of the recaro cushion
It turned very good, as I am tall.

Working on the rear brakes.
The securing bolt had been damaged and I had to get it out the hard way.
Lost many hours.



Then, I installed new OEM discs and Pagid RS14 pads.

I created an AUX IN module and then connected it to the radio cd.
The circuit is quite simple and costs around 15 EUR to make.

So on 31st August 2012 I started the big project of replacing all the bushes and spherical joints of the rear axle.

Here is the picture of the cracked bush.

The axle is out.
Getting ready to remove the rear suspension.



In the meantime, I will remove all the rust and repaint the parts.

The bolts adjusting the camber had seized.
After a lot of hours... I cut them out.

Courtesy of my brother, I received the special tools of BMW and replaced the bushes.

A heatgun is needed.
