Does the Vorsteiner E46 M3 CSL bootlid fit the convertible?

No. The Vorsteiner V-CSL carbon fiber bootlid (BMV4615) is designed only for the E46 M3 Coupe. Vorsteiner has announced that a convertible version of the CSL-style bootlid will be offered separately, so convertible owners should wait for that specific part rather than modifying this one.

What is the E46 M3 CSL bootlid made of?

The bootlid is made from 1x1 weave resin pre-impregnated carbon fiber that is vacuum formed and cured in an autoclave. This pre-preg process produces a panel that is roughly 20 to 30 percent stiffer and stronger than an equivalent wet lay-up part while keeping weight to a minimum.

How many Vorsteiner V-CSL bootlids will be made?

Vorsteiner is limiting the V-CSL Carbon Fiber Program to 103 units, a tribute to the horsepower per liter delivered by the original BMW E46 CSL. Each piece is produced at Vorsteiner's California facility as part of the brand's 20th anniversary celebration.

Does the CSL-style bootlid replace the factory trunk lid completely?

Yes. The Vorsteiner E46 M3 CSL bootlid is a full replacement trunk lid, not an add-on spoiler. It installs in place of the factory steel bootlid and gives the car the raised ducktail profile that the BMW E46 CSL made famous while reducing weight at the rear of the car.

Does this bootlid work with the factory trunk hardware?

The V-CSL bootlid is built as a direct replacement panel for the E46 M3 Coupe. Factory latch and hinge locations carry over, and professional installation and paint-shop-level fitment checks are recommended for any full carbon body panel of this kind.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
