Description

An extremely rare and early BMW E46 M3 CSL, delivered new in Germany in 2003, now a true collector’s car. This is the 14th CSL ever built and one of only 1,383 units produced worldwide, and it is the first CSL to feature a black lightweight interior. The car has a fully verifiable mileage of just 26,722 km, has been fully dealer maintained, and remains in its original paint with a damage-free history.

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

Interior:
The interior follows the lightweight concept of the CSL: fully black Alcantara, bucket seats, a lightweight rear bench, and carbon door panels and center console. The original Alcantara sport steering wheel with integrated shift paddles is in excellent condition. This example is equipped with the optional original radio, deliberately without air conditioning – pure and functional, just as the CSL was intended.

Technology:
Under the hood lies the legendary S54 engine – an evolution 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 sent via the SMG II transmission with Drivelogic and M Track Mode, exclusively tuned for the CSL. Both engine and drivetrain are fully original and in outstanding condition – the car drives, shifts, and brakes as it did when it left the factory.

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