CSL Part Availability?
Hey Everyone!
I'm hearing a lot of chatter in the CSL world about part availability. I'm hearing people say the front seats are no longer produced and finding a set is nearly impossible. Is that true? If so, is that the same for ALL CSL parts like the decklid, bumpers, diffuser, all interior components etc.? I just want to know the truth about the status of these special parts and where people are getting their information. Can anybody provide some insight? Much appreciated! |

If you ring Bmw parts up with your VIN the system will say how many items in stock.
Your probably want some camshafts as well. |

It depends on the part itself. Some are in Stock and some are not. Ask your local dealer.

Out of stock is one thing NLA is another. Though I had gave up waiting for front struts so they may as well be NLA. I believe the roof is still listed as 'in stock' but if you order one you will unwrap it to find a steel panel. I guess the biggest issue is the front bumper but last time I checked with the dealer they were still available.

it gets to the point with all 'classics' where the original parts dry up
on the back of this usually some talented blokes in sheds start making reproductions parts that can be better than stock .... this will happen eventually with CSL parts as otherwise these cars will be kept off the road the cams for example ... there is nothing fundamentally special about them .. its just our reliance on the warranty |

I've been waiting for my cams since July 2015, after (BMW GmbH) rejecting several sets, they finally landed last month.

I ordered a set of CSL side grille badges last week and they are on back order from Germany.
