Description

An extremely rare and early BMW E46 M3 CSL, originally delivered in Germany in 2003, and now an absolute collector’s item. This is the 14th CSL ever built and one of only 1,383 units produced worldwide. It is also the very first CSL to be fitted with a black lightweight interior. The car has a fully verifiable mileage of only 26,722 km, has been maintained exclusively by BMW dealers, and retains its original paint with no accident history.

Exterior:
Finished in the elegant color Black Sapphire Metallic (475), a rare and timeless choice for the CSL. The bodywork is completely original and in exceptional condition. Unique CSL features such as the carbon roof, carbon trunk lid, and carbon rear diffuser are in perfect condition and give the car its distinctive, pure look. The original 19-inch CSL wheels are in top condition and finished in silver.

Interior:
The interior stays true to the CSL’s lightweight philosophy: fully trimmed in black Alcantara, with bucket seats, a lightweight rear bench, and bespoke carbon door panels and center console. The original Alcantara sport steering wheel with integrated shift paddles is in excellent condition. This example was specified with the optional original radio, but deliberately without air conditioning – pure and purposeful, just as the CSL was intended to be.

Mechanics:
Under the hood lies the legendary S54 engine – a refined version of the standard M3 engine, producing 265 kW (360 hp) from 3,246 cc. The CSL weighs approximately 1,385 kg (over 100 kg lighter than the standard M3), delivering a sensational driving experience. Power is transmitted through the SMG II transmission with Drivelogic and M Track Mode, uniquely calibrated for the CSL. Both engine and drivetrain are entirely original and in outstanding condition – the car drives, shifts, and brakes just like it did when it left the factory.

History:
This CSL was newly delivered in Germany in 2003 and comes from its fourth owner. The full service history is available and exclusively carried out by official BMW dealers. The car comes with both original keys, the stamped service booklet, and all accompanying documentation. A unique opportunity to acquire an early, original, and exceptionally well-preserved example of the legendary M3 CSL – an absolute icon for purists and collectors.
