Adem,

I've got the Schrick 288/280 cams in my CSL, 12.5mm lift.

For pretty much the same reasons why you want them, BMW were quoting me over 9 months lead time at an estimate at the beginning of the year as I had issues with my standard cams, sounds to me like they are still making that batch which is absolutely mental.

I think for the 14mm cams, you'll need to change pistons, valve springs and retainers as well as the rocker arms.

When I had mine done, I spoke at great length with Simpsons about it, they said the 14mm lift cams were only good on a proper built race engine and not worth it on a road car unless you've lunched the motor.

If you want a ride in my car you're welcome to come down to Surrey fella.

In fact i've still got the Schrick tech doc with all the S54 cam options if you need it?
