New E9 wings from Walloth & Nesch in 2020

[Marco 54]

According to an e-mail today from W&N -

"In addition to many different spare parts for the model series BMW 2,5 CS - 3,0 CSL (E9) we will be able to offer you various new body panels like

• front wings
• floor parts
• wheel housings
• and many more spare parts

in our online shop."

We will see.

That would of been really handy 12 months back
I'd of thought a big potential demand for front wings as they are basically unobtainable.
Guess we will wait and see.

Will they be making wings for all the E9 models ???

 

[Wladek]

Will they be making wings for all the E9 models ???

What do you mean all e9 models? CS CSI 0,8mm vs CSL 0,6mm?
I think it will be universal 0,8mm as with other body panels from W&N.

Anyway it's great news from W&N!

The information came to me as a general sales e-mail and was not written to me individually and so I am not sure what W&N intend.
However I suspect that Wladek is correct.
BMW have been making promises of this sort for years without any signs of action e.g. front grilles have been promised for years.
W&N are usually more reliable and it will be interesting to see what develops.

If you put a 0.8mm wing on a CSL, does that devalue the car ??

To the purist, most definitely yes!

I also think that at some point it will devalue CSL that is 100% stock/genuine.
But as for me if we will take for comparison just for CSL:
1. NEW/NOS or very, very nice used condition 0,6 CSL Fender vs. NEW/Aftermarket 0,8 CS Fender, 1:0 for CSL 0,6
2. Rusted or repaired (doesn't matter how) 0,6 CSL vs NEW/Aftermarket 0,8 CS, 0:1 for CS 0,8
