So we'll see what happens. Half expecting a NLA phonecall.

Hi mate
I was on a BMW Car Club GB trip to Park Lane last week. We had a tour of all the showrooms service and parts departments and lunch.
They were explaining on parts tour how they deal with requests for parts how they check stock in UK. There are 2 warehouses in UK for BMW. Also explained his they check stock in Germany. They also said often they get cases where sometimes a part is NLA but they always double check with BMW AG in Germany as sometimes they have a part there. They were explaining they go the extra mile compared to other BMW Dealers. Well I guess they would say that. Park Lane are also owned by BMW UK. I have ordered many parts myself on my BMWs and Lee is a good guy. Just my two cents worth. They also deal with lots of BMW Classic queries all over the world such as E9 3.0 CSL, 2002s, 328s .... Etc.

And if they don't have a part they will register your interest. Also Lee keeps detailed records of orders; requests etc which I don't think other BMW Dealers do. During the tour I was asking him about M3 CSL parts and the Park Lane MD. they can make any part but is down to demand .... Obviously cost is an issue too. And if they cannot make it chances are they will know one if their suppliers or get the original drawings from BMW AG.

Yes I don't know anyone here so I might not understand some of these jokes. But I am a big BMW fan .... M3 CSL is my favourite BMW. At the moment I have M3 CS Coupe Manual; E46 323Ci Coupe; E30 325i Sport. Love a CSL though :-)

They certainly do, and great when fitted with an LSD

You and me both. I would have ordered it long ago if I had known it was going to go NLA.

Can confirm carbon flippers are available to order through dealer network as I just had some arrive as spares. Took less than a week from Germany, although they arrive unlacquered.
