Long time ago now but I always thought my first E89 looked better on CSLs as well. :thumbsup:

    Everything looks better on CSLs!
    Well except most of the new beemers.
    You can’t polish a turd, or seemingly put make up on miss piggy- the new CSL.
    Back on topic, love the imola Z4M!

    Depends, no spacers needed with KW V3

    Great looking Roadster!
