I agree you should email BMW, though. Not making parts for a car that has only been out of production for 10 years is an absurd situation. I wouldn't expect to curb the flow to non CSL owners, though-- they're all already going throw legitimate CSL owners. What can they do beyond that?

I am not sure I am following your logic.
The CSL had serious development and a lot of unique parts from the factory.
The production line was modified to produce CSLs, and it was not just normal M3s fitted with some extra parts.

Why the CSL was not sold in your country is not my problem, it is yours and this no excuse to take parts not intended to be fitted in your cars.
I know that I paid 3 times more to get a CSL rather than a normal M3.
I also know that I pay much higher insurance premium to insure a CSL rather than a normal M3 (due to the cost of parts).
And I know that I will be totally pissed of if I need to get replacement parts for my car and they are not available because some CSL wannabes fitted them in their simple M3s to make them look like a CSL.

And to put things in perspective, imagine every 316-330 owner putting all the M3 parts.
Then you have an issue and you need a front bumper and BMW says, sorry you can't have the M3 bumper, it's sold out (to all simple 3 series owners), we can only supply to you the bumper of the 328ci, how would you feel ?


Guys, let's draft a letter and we collect all the CSL onwers including their original VIN numbers and we send it to BMW.

This stupidity needs to stop !
