@Markos - CSL production was slow ? where does that come from ? InsteadThere is a difference though. Firstly, the RHD CSL had the same HP motor. Secondly, the process that made CSL production specialized and slow applies equally to the RHD CSL. If BMW needed to pump out 1,000 CSL’s fast, they could have used standard gauge metal on the RHD cars and slapped a CSL badge/VIN on them.
RHD CSL production was ,pushed’ to meet the time limits and sale of RHD CSI cars was temporarily
put ,on hold’.
Otherwise you seem to come closer to the point of the matter, because what you are suggesting is very
likely what BMW and the U.K. distributor would have done, if that would still have been in accordance
with the homologation requirements.
Total production E9 RHD:
- 3.0 CSL RHD ,City Package‘ = 500x
- 3.0 CSI RHD = 207x
- 3.0 CSA RHD = 215x

PS: Not to worry, I will try not to make the same mistake again……..
