Steering rack plus DSC reflash, Wheels, engine specification (CSL cams and exhaust valves) MSS54HP ECU (all M3s beyond 2004 have it) CSL SMG software, Recaro seats, upgraded brakes, headers and Supersprint 'street' exhaust, CSL anti roll bars, alcantara steering wheel, M track mode retrofit and a few more bits.
The OEM CSL carbon airbox - installed and tuned by Evolve. Works exactly like on the CSL... perfect and smooth idle and start up. Highly recommended modification. 
Good luck with your project and as for the CSL carbon fibre roof - i'm still in two minds about it.... cutting out mine and installing CSL one so the car is rigid.. is it possible? How is it done on the CSL? What has BMW used to bond that roof? |
Thanks you sir.
Sounds like me and you have the same goal in mind. I want to start off with a M3 CS so the steering rack and other things will already be installed.
So you were able to get the OEM CSL air box to work properly?! Im going to have to PM you for the details because no one here in the states has ever made it work properly. They just install it and have the flap always open because they cant get it to open at the right RMP's and the idle is rough.
Yes the OEM CSL roof has been installed on a non CSL car. I plan on doing this too. Here is a link where daytonaviolet did it on his car. He knows a lot about anything CSL.

Good luck with your car. Will keep in touch.
