New to Forum, need advice on obtaining interior

cossack · 02-06-2011, 07:37 PM

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I live in California and for obvious reasons can't have a csl in the states other wise i would do so in a heart beat. I have a 2005 interlagos blue zcp m3 that has oem csl cf roof, oem csl trunk, oem csl bumper, oem csl diffusor, oem csl headers, oem csl cats, and csl oem center console. I've been trying to locate the interior for the past couple of months i need the seats front and rear, and panels front and rear.

Does anyone have a site where i can obtain parts either from wrecked m3's or any of you who may have an extra interior laying around. I'm gonna post in the WTB section as well as soon as i figure out how to donate money to this forum. Thanks guys.

Ahh I was just reading your wanted post on m3forum

You can donate by clicking on the link at the top of the page or here http://www.cslregister.com/forum/payments.php

I bumped into a guy a while back who had an interior. I got his number and put it in my phone but can't remember his name to find it! Time to organise the phone book.

I do have a steering wheel and a rear interior qtr panel (small scratch) that i was gonna list on m3forum but haven't hit the 150 post limit

Hi there cossack, welcome, Simpson motor sport tend to get cars in to turn in to track only cars, one of the guys may be able to provide the number or email address

I'm donating funds to the website right now thanks for the link. So USD the total was something like 16 bucks to donate. Stupid weak dollar.

I would like to obtain the entire interior minus the center console as i already have that. I'm afraid to buy it in pieces as i don't want to be half ass on the parts. Or miss out on a full interior that may be for sale. Unless off course the price is reasonable.

There was one guy who i saw on the m3forum selling one in the UK his forum name was M3Nut, i almost purchased some of his parts the only reason after conversion it would have been close to 10,000 USD. I'm hoping to spend between 6k-8K which is still a ton of money, off course depending on the condition and if it'll need to get reupholstered.

I'll keep my eye out for you

This sucks that we never getting anything good. No CSL, GTR, and no GTS in the states. Thanks, i hope to find one soon. Seems to have become a rarer thing to find nowadays. I passed up two seats last october and got the bumper at the time instead. How i regret not doing it the other way around.

at least your fuel is a 3rd of the price of ours.

The prices are seeming to come close to where I'll be able to buy one, strip it completely/part it out. Sell whatever i don't need make a profit, and convert the csl into a regular m3 to sell it once again. Just so i can be legit in the states. Stupid regs.

You guys may actually be onto something now it got me thinking, I'm planning on getting the interior plus the airbox. So i know all in all that would cost me around 15K after everything is said and done. Hmm have to think about this.

Ok so where can i find the cheapest csl mileage doesn't matter then.
