BMW M3 CSL Background

The E46 M3 was first available for sale in early 2001 and going from previous versions of the BMW M3 we had a rough idea as to what to expect from the latest version. A superbly balanced chassis with a free revving straight six with ample torque and abundant power. The E46 M3 put out 104bhp per litre which is an amazing output per litre, even in 2006. The M3 could go from 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and had a redline of 8000rpm. The car was developed on the Nurburgring in Germany, covering over 80,000 miles on one of the most challenging circuits/toll roads in the world.The car originally cost well over 40,000 pounds but can now be had for under 23,000 pounds.

The lightweight, hardcore version was released in 2003 and badged as the CSL. The CSL came with BMWs SMG paddleshift gearbox and 360bhp, The M3 CSL could go from 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and The induction note and metallic sound of this engine at high revs is one of the most inspiring sounds in high performance motoring. An even bigger price tag of 58,455pounds. These prices of CSLs have been strong from 2005 and can now be had for 20,000 pounds less than the list price. As with all used cars there are still areas which should be given close attention when buying.A csl but they are in high demand and prices are on the up.
