my M3 CSL
I started sometime ago a calendar type thread about my CSL which I stopped updating.
I think I will put this calendar here and start posting the updates here ;) A few things about my CSL. My CSL is a Swiss version CSL, it has been sold and driven June of 2004. It has automatic clima, rain sensor, radio cd, xenon lights and speed limiter removal. Being a Swiss CSL also means it does not have the front license plate holder, as our plates here are tiny and amazing ! I got my CSL October 2008 with 44k km on the clock. It had one owner. It's a Silvergrey car (the fast ones) http://www.clubcsl.com/images/clubcsl/m3-csl-home.jpg Today the car has 92k km and a few modifications. - AP racing front and rear brakes (front CP5555 with PF discs and Pagid RS14 / rear AP calipers with OEM discs and Pagid RS14) - Powerflex ARB bushes front and rear - GC racing front wishbone bushes - Powerflex rear trailing arm bushes - Supersprint Race lightweight backbox - Ohlins TTX suspension with GC front top mounts, GC front ARB drop links, AST rear top mounts and Eibach springs - Recaro bottom cushion in the driver's seat |

Here are two photos of the recaro cushion
It turned very good, as I am tall. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20120425-00036.jpg http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20120425-00037.jpg |

Working on the rear brakes.
The securing bolt had been damaged and I had to get it out the hard way. Lost many hours. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/DSC00150.JPG Then, I installed new OEM discs and Pagid RS14 pads. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/DSC00151.jpg |

I created an AUX IN module and then connected it to the radio cd.
The circuit is quite simple and costs around 15 EUR to make. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/DSC00180-1400.JPG |

So on 31st August 2012 I started the big project of replacing all the bushes and spherical joints of the rear axle.
Here is the picture of the cracked bush. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20120831-00450.jpg |

The axle is out.
Getting ready to remove the rear suspension. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20120905-00453.jpg In the meantime, I will remove all the rust and repaint the parts. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20120905-00455.jpg http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20120905-00456.jpg |

The bolts adjusting the camber had seized.
After a lot of hours... I cut them out. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20121012-00001.jpg http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20121013-00003.jpg http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20121013-00007.jpg |

Courtesy of my brother, I received the special tools of BMW and replaced the bushes.
A heatgun is needed. http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20121015-00008.jpg http://www.clubcsl.com/CSL/blog/IMG-20121015-00010.jpg |
