BMW M is 50 years old this year, and the M3 CSL concept was first seen in 2002 - time to celebrate in style
If I think about the ultimate two-car BMW collection, it would be a 1973 E9 CSL “Batmobile” and this – a 2003 BMW E46 M3 CSL.
Both cars are regarded the crowning achievement of BMW by adding performance through lightness. When they were new, the price tag it wore didn’t seem to make much sense over their standard brothers. In the early 1970’s the E9 CSL was so unique no-one really understood it. With the M3 CSL, cars like the Ferrari 360 CS and Porsche 996 GT3 RS were just in their infancy and the idea of “paying more for less” was a new concept.
Fast forward to today and these cars – The M3 CSL especially, are sought after and demand very much exceeds supply for well cared for, low mileage examples like the one here for sale:• 3.2-litre S54 straight-six, producing 360bhp, rear-wheel drive, six-speed SMG with paddle shift.• 41,125 miles• Carbon-fibre door card panels and transmission tunnel cover.
• Extras include Dynamic Stability Control, Xenon headlights, BMW Business radio and CD player, rear parking sensors, and automatic air conditioning.
