Surely this'll start increasing number of Cat D's for minor offs ?

Not great news for you. However this is the beginning of the CSL becoming a true classic. As time goes on the cars and there components will become more & more rare & eventually very hard to get thus the value will soar.
Look at the RS guys the prices parts for their cars command.

Yep, buckle your seats lads

Sounds like a 2nd one is your only option.
Fortunately it's not a part that shows signs of wear.

With most of these type of specials the car manufacturers make the parts when the cars are built, including spares. It doesn't work financially to manufacture small numbers of spares, or a one off, as they are needed.

So, most of the special parts will have been made 10 years ago, and then stored, and then as they are needed they are drawn from this stock. Normally you can spot this process when spares are restricted to the vehicle's VIN at the dealer. This prevents the stock getting used for other cars.

Obviously the manufacture has to figure out what spares they need over a certain period but it will mean these spares have a finite life, after a certain time they're all gone.

I'm sure that not all CSL spares will be like this (and I don't know how exactly BMW have controlled the spares) but I also suspect a great deal are, so worth holding onto whatever you have.

Hm,

I would expect it would be built when ordered.
At least that is what happened with my extra set of front flaps that took 8 months to arrive.
Let me check about the roof and get back to you.

I would be really shocked if BMW would deny delivering basic components of the car (bumpers, roof etc).
We are not talking about a bolt, we are talking about a roof now.

What happens about manufacturer warranty claims on major components no longer made ?

I'll be checking my house for loose roof tiles tonight.
And let's hope one of those freak hail-storms doesn't happen.
