Roof racks
Can you get one for the csl?
Anyone got one for sale? Ideas on cost? Should I get one from a dealer or are there other types available out there? I had a look last night and can't immediately find anywhere to attach one to! How do they work? Cheers Rich oh - ridiculous question I know, but has anyone ever got a towbar onto one? I don't really need this but it's always handy to have 2 track cars in the same place! |

Spanner you cant fit a roof rack to the csl carbon roof and all that. also the m3/csl cant tow with its fancy diff.
Hope this answers your questions |

bugger.
Tow bar isn't an issue at all - I was kind of kidding about that! I could really do with a roof rack though - it will save me having to buy another car / van! From having a look last night - I can't actually see why you couldn't have one - the roof rack wouldn't put any weight on the carbon roof - from my saloon previously it just attached where the black strips are at the side of the roof. I will keep digging and report back if I come up with any answers. I have tried a bmw dealer but I'm at work and don't have the chassis number with me - the chap I spoke to had never heard of a csl either! |

Search on MTorque ... I remember seeing a guy's CSL that came with the plugs for roof racks - it does exist.
I didn't believe it myself first, until he actually posted photos of it. So short answer - yes you can have roof racks - but you'd need to get the weather strips redone with those special ones. Here ... found them: original link: http://www.mtorque.co.uk/ubbthreads/...rue#Post586552 photos: Last edited by NZ_M3; 09-04-2009 at 12:42 AM. |
