Where to purchase oem CSL parts?

gr8car · 19-09-2010, 07:48 AM

Hi Guys,

Calling from Canada again! Can someone recommend where to buy oem CSL parts? In particular I'm looking for a new bootlid. My understanding is that BMW will not sell CSL parts to dealers without a registration. What I don't understand then is how does CA Automotive sell online to their customers in Europe and North America? I'm somewhat reluctant to buy from CA Automotive. Can someone recommend a different retailer in the U.K.? Thank you!

I take it from that that you do not possess a CSL then. I believe CA Automotive make their own copy parts and as far as I know do not sell OEM parts.

Your only bet is a BMW dealer and without a registration all you can do is ask a member and owner to order for you (or second hand from a breaker).

My understanding from their website is that it is an OEM part.....can someone chime in to confirm that? Thanks.

We sell OEM, lots of CSL chassis nos to choose from

Of course we dont use customer car chassis numbers that would be wrong. But my CSL race car has had quite a lot of parts ordered for it over the years
