His car looks mint and a little different to a tricked up 318 with some carbon bits. From my experience, those that mod an E46 M3 on a budget will choose look a like parts, not OEM.
BMW need to pull their finger out and begin to manufacture the parts. I think that's where we come in with the lobbying. But they need a minimum commitment on numbers.....and let's face it, we couldn't get more than 30 deposits for a fookin track day on the Euro trip due to drop outs.....so how many really REALLY care ? I for one would be happy to chuck some £K in a fund (if others were) to demonstrate seriousness.
So we can bleat on about how we should be entitled to first refusal, but that's bullshit. BMW are a business, not a charity and if they have an ability to sell parts, why wouldn't they ? We like to think that they'll "look after us" because we have one of the better examples of the "Ultimate Driving Machine", but some of us need to take off the rose tinted specs.

It is a free market.
Let others enjoy their cars as they want and stop being 'CSL Elitist'...
Be nice to all forum members - CSL owners or otherwise.
