This the one the CSL loaded has and it is lighter than the stock bonnet.
I wanted one too. So I emailed them (in German) but they never replied to me. It looks like they don't want business  From memory it's 6kg, versus 11kg of the OEM. Last edited by alexk; 13-03-2014 at 10:02 PM. |

 'Wethje' are the company that manufacture the CSL's Airbox or sold I've been told. The website isn't much to look at: http://www.wethje-gmbh.com/ which suggests they don't sell to the public but manufacturer/supply components to the Automotive Industry, BMW in particular.

I thought that 'Loaded' used 'Schmiedmann' parts to create the look, including the vented 'GTR' bonnet: http://www.schmiedmann.com/3_series/...36.htm#1933931
I suppose the vented bonnet helped increase the air flow, with his CSL being supercharged.
