SOLD
Very few cars driving around worldwide are actually extraordinary. Once in a while we come across a very special type of car. It might be special for its rarity, jaw-dropping looks and performance, handling or a combination of all of the above.
BMW E46 M3 CSL is such a car. CSL stands for “Coupe Sport Lightweight”. First appearing in 1972, the 3.0CSL homologation special model was very successful in racing, thus securing BMW’s position amongst motorsport giants.
The BMW’s SMG (sequential manual gearbox) of the time was the smoothest unit ever made, it allows for lightning quick shifts. The CSL adopted many weight saving technologies from BMW's Formula One racing applications.
A total of 1,383 E46 M3 CSLs were produced to European specification between June and December of 2003 in both left-hand drive (841 built) and right-hand drive (542 built) configuration. Available in only two colours, silver grey metallic and black sapphire metallic. Only 65 ever got to South Africa.
This CSL offers one of the finest driving experiences available. The example that we have for sale is car number: 20 and has a mere 54000km on the clock.
A truly exceptional BMW M3 CSL E46 in immaculate black sapphire metallic with unmarked anthracite alcantara interior. This amazing CSL has covered only 54000km with 3 owners from when it was first registered and has been beautifully cared for throughout its life. The service book has all the relevant stamps for running in/oil and inspection services/annual checks (all main dealer) along with accompanying invoices. Other documents include all the handbooks spare keys ect. This car has the ‘feel ‘of just sitting in the snug single piece CSL only seats and gripping the steering wheel and gear lever, you are immediately aware of just how original and unused this example is.
The E46-generation M3 was already a great car, but with the CSL, the engineers at BMW Motorsport created a modern classic. It might be one of the greatest M3s there's ever been.
