We are proud to offer our first exterior body part! This is a pure carbon fiber CSL trunk for the E46 M3!  Produced for us about an hour outside of Atlanta, GA, this is a race-grade part made by the same company that produced the carbon bodywork for the BMW E36 and E46 for PTG.




Before we get into the product, we need to tell you about the manufacturer and history.  From 1995 to 2006, PTG, a company based in West Virginia, was responsible for the development and racing for BMW North America.  They were given some parameters but essentially were left to decipher many specifics on their own.  One such detail was the creation of race-grade bodywork for the racecars.  Everything from molding and production of these parts were left to their own devices.

As the chassis were retired and BMW NA moved onwards to E92s, F82, and now G82s, what were done with the original molds?  It turns out that the original manufacture was quietly supporting the amateur racing scene and the customers that wanted to use this race-grade carbon bodywork on their own cars.

While we have had a relationship with this company for many years, we had not needed their talents until we determined we wanted to have our own E46 M3 CSL trunk to be produced.  While the company already had a full carbon OEM trunk available, they did not have the mold for a CSL trunk shape.  We purchased a factory OEM CSL trunk from Europe, shipped it straight to them, let them cut and modify it so it could be married to the inner skin, and pay for the development of the outer CSL trunk skin.  After many weeks, we finally had our own trunk!  This handmade, 6.75 lb. part is definitely light as a feather, but more importantly, fits like the OEM part!
  • Factory E46 M3 steel trunk lid, 25 lbs.
  • OEM CSL E46 M3 plastic trunk, 25.3 lbs.
  • RE carbon CSL trunk, 6.75 lbs.
Note that this is part is designed to be either vinyl wrapped or professional prepped and painted by a bodyshop as the finish, although smooth, does not have any clearcoat...but in fact, is the smooth finish as it comes out of the mold.  We do not offer installation or bodyship painting services.

Note:
  • These trunks ONLY fit the E46 coupe.  We have NO plans to make a trunk for the convertible or sedan.
  • CONTACT us for a shipping quote.  Anyone in the Atlanta, GA vicinity can arrange for local pickup, to save on shipping.
  • These are MADE TO ORDER.  Lead time is 2-3 weeks from time to order.
