No idea how you go about that though
My brother was telling me yesterday that BMW (and others in EU) has a legal obligation to supply parts for 40 years from the production date of the car.
I will have a definitive answer in a few days, but again, I would be very surprised if you cannot have the roof even if it means to wait for 3,6,8 months.

As a side note, you can order pretty much anything for the E12 and E21.
Why not all parts for a special and quite expensive E46 ?

Well if this is true then looks like im pretty much buggered as I was really looking forward to getting an OEM CSL roof for my M3 in the near future.

I agree with Pooky, look at old fat fingers and the seats he keeps getting replaced, all made in the initial production run

this is what happens with parts for my rusty old ford, once the initial stock has gone.... although certain items you just cannot get anymore. It depends on whether bmw can actually get the part anymore, whether it is too cost prohibitive or if they can be bothered!

There are quite a few parts now NLA for my E30. eBay is usually your friend in such instances, although I don't fancy my chances of sourcing an Alpina ECU, or for that matter a CSL roof, too quickly

Have just gotten the official word back from BMW NZ here ... correct, majority of CSL parts are now "No Longer Available".

What remains is it ...
