Csl roof no longer available!!!!!!

[Csl spurs]

Can't believe what happened today I ordered a new csl roof about 6 weeks ago from my local dealer and they told me there was none in the uk and a new one had to come from germany so i waited patiently and had a new roof delivered to work today unfortunately it was a new steel metal roof from a standard M3 I got straight on the phone to my local dealer and they said they would look into it as it had been ordered correctly I got a call later to say bmw were no longer making the csl roof and it had been super seeded! With the metal one I am totally lost for words as the roof is the biggest panel on the car and the panel that is a major part off the car and everything it stands for.As for putting a metal roof on the car this would simply kill the value off the car I'm really hopping someone can comment on this as I also thought manufacturers had to produce parts for a Minium off 10 years!

Vulturish as it may seem, I could be tempted to sell mine if price was right.

Gone the way of the 'Carbon Flippers' NLA from BMW, the appear to be winding down the CSL parts production at it approaches the 10yr model cycle.
Have you had a word with 'Bones' our in house recycler: http://www.cslregister.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9677

Better still have a word with 'giraffe' he works for Elms, see what he has to say?

Sounds about right (see BMW ETK below) ... there's actually more than just the roof that are no longer produced - although a bit strange if you ask me given that BMW built their own carbon fibre production facility when they introduced the E9X M3 ....

Things like the aluminium rear wishbone is also out of production apparently - I've had a set on order for a while now and I don't fancy the chance of them ever turning up ...

The car's 10 years old, you can't expect BMW to be making bits and pieces for it still and beyond. It'll eventually end up at their Classics division, where they can then charge many times more for parts that you need.

I am going to buy a spare car for parts soon I think
