EXTERIOR
The M3 CSL was available in only two colour variants, Black Sapphire Metallic and Silver Grey Metallic. This example is presented in the more menacing paint option which looks incredible alongside the lightweight carbon-fibre panels that define the M3 ‘Coupe Sport Lightweight’.
The metallic paintwork shows in perfect order, free of swirl marks that can so easily be picked up on darker colours. This lightweight special has clearly been treasured from day one with occasional use and careful storage in between.
The abundance of carbon fibre that makes an appearance on the roof panel, front bumper splitter and rear valance show no signs of damage whatsoever along with the shadow-line window trim that remains in excellent condition.
INTERIOR
Slipping into the lightweight sports seats the CSL interior is a beautifully minimal affair, clad in Titan shadow trim, carbon fibre reinforced plastic and upholstered in Anthracite reflex cloth. The deeply bolstered sports seats are firm and provide race car-like support, upholstered in ‘Reflex’ alcantara they present free from any noticeable signs of wear and tear. Much of the same is to be said about the rear seats, alcantara taut and clean with just a few minor marks present on the plastic seat backs and rear divider.
The three-spoke M steering wheel sits in excellent condition; still soft to touch with the perfect diameter. The carbon fibre centre console remains free from scratches as do the carbon fibre door panels which continue the lightweight theme.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Opening the bonnet on a CSL is a treat for any motorsport enthusiast. The BMW motorsport division pulled out all the stops tuning the 3. 2 straight 6 unit and it is the addition of a carbon airbox on a road production car that really sets the CSL apart from other M power models, providing the driver with an aural symphony of straight 6 induction and engine note.
The engine bay remains perfectly clean and in keeping with its well cared for life.
Transmission is via the semi-automatic six-speed SMG II system with automated electrohydraulic clutch, capable of making smooth, lightning-quick shifts whilst also equally adept at more sedate pace in auto mode.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Arguably one of the finest production car designs, the 19 inch lightweight alloy wheels help to set the CSL apart with an aggressive stance being 0. 5″ wider than standard M3 alloy wheels.
All the alloy wheels are in excellent condition, along with the BMW centre caps which remain free from any damage.
All four wheels are shod in 2023 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tyres that still show an excellent amount of tread.
HISTORY FILE
Delivered to Cooper Cobham BMW in 30/ 07/ 2004 it was cherished by the first owner for 10 years and 24k Miles before sale. The next owner would keep the car for a similar length of 8 years until sale in 2022 to the current owner. As such there are only 3 keepers in total listed on the V5, a low number for the CSL as many have changed hands on a regular basis.
Given its low mileage and long term ownership the car spent extended periods of time in storage with its second owner from 2014 to 2022 covering just shy of 3k in the time. On removal and sale the current owner has rejuvenated and lavished this example, having it thoroughly serviced and checked mechanically by both BMW and specialists while at the same time replacing many of the small cosmetic items so the car goes and shows as it did when new.
The service book is present showing its running in stamp at 1257 miles by the supplying dealer with its last service completed on 25/ 09/ 2024 at 26, 461 miles by Sytner BMW Tring.
Present with the car is the original book pack, MOT certificates, recent service invoices, V5 and a spare key.
