This E46-generation BMW M3 CSL is a sought-after modern classic performance icon, offered with low mileage from new. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre ‘S54’ inline-six, delivering 265kW to the rear wheels through a six-speed SMG automated manual transmission with paddle shift. Reported to be one of just 21 Australian-delivered cars, this M3 CSL has covered 44,433 km from new. The M3 CSL was produced as a lightweight flagship model, weighing 110kg less than the standard coupe, and featuring a carbon-fibre roof, air box, front splitters, and rear diffuser, as well as an aluminium bonnet and thinner rear windscreen glass. This example is finished in Silver Grey over a black Amaretta suede and Reflex cloth-trimmed cabin with carbon-fibre inlays. It rides on the correct set of 19-inch lightweight ‘Style 163M’ CSL forged alloy wheels, framing black brake callipers and wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tyres. Equipment includes the BMW Business CD stereo, automatic air conditioning, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and a switchable ‘sport’ mode. Accompanying the vehicle will be its original owner's manuals, a toolkit, a first aid kit, and evidence of a comprehensive service history.
