CSL three letters that ignite passion and adrenaline in any BMW enthusiast. The M3 CSL (E46) isn’t just a special edition; it’s a benchmark for precision driving, a lightweight engineering marvel, and arguably the finest driver’s car BMW has ever built. With only 1383 units produced worldwide, just 542 were right-hand drive, and only 65 landed in South Africa. Of these 65, only 10 were Black Sapphire Metallic, making this CSL (car #38 of 65), an incredibly rare find.
Built with lightweight obsession, engineers shaved 110kg off the standard M3, using carbon fibre, composite panels, thinner glass, and an aluminium bonnet to create a razor-sharp, track-focused machine. Even the exhaust was trimmed down with thinner-walled material, adding to the raw mechanical symphony this car produces.
Then there’s the heart of the beast—the legendary S54B32HP inline-six. Equipped with a carbon fibre airbox, this masterpiece not only delivers more power but also unleashes one of the most intoxicating induction notes ever heard. The SMG II transmission makes every gear shift a punch of adrenaline, keeping the driver connected to every bit of M-tuned precision.
With just 85,000km on the clock and a full service history, this M3 CSL remains in exceptional condition. Stock standard, other than the Schnitzer exhaust, it’s ready to deliver pure, unfiltered driving joy to its next owner.
Don’t miss your chance.
