Description
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional example of the iconic E46 M3 CSL, arguably one of BMW's most celebrated driver's cars. This 2003 CSL is presented in immaculate condition both inside and out, benefiting from meticulous ownership, recent preventative works, and an outstanding service pedigree.
Exterior & Interior
The car is protected by a full-body Paint Protection Film (PPF) professionally installed by Topaz Detailing, ensuring the pristine exterior finish remains untouched by time or mileage.
Some examples of exterior and interior enhancements and refurbishments include new kick plates, side mirrors, refreshed interior trims, all restored to as-new condition.
Paintwork and carbon elements present beautifully, with no blemishes, swirls, or stone chips - a testament to the care this vehicle has received.
The previous owner and myself have only used the car in dry conditions.
Service & Maintenance History
Supplied with a comprehensive service history, exclusively with BMW main dealers and renowned BMW specialists, with all records meticulously documented.
In 2024, the vehicle underwent a thorough mechanical inspection by respected UK BMW M specialist Everything M3. No issues were found, and several key preventative maintenance tasks were carried out:
Rear subframe/boot floor reinforcement - a known issue on E46 M3s, now fully addressed.
VANOS system fully refurbished - ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
Differential fully overhauled - restored to factory performance.
In total, more than 20,000 GBP has been invested in recent years to return this CSL to "as new" mechanical and cosmetic condition, with invoices available to verify all work.
The car performs exactly as BMW intended - tight, responsive, and utterly engaging - with no outstanding mechanical or cosmetic issues.
This CSL represents a turn-key, collector-grade example of an appreciating classic. It has been painstakingly maintained, preserved, and sympathetically restored, offering a rare chance to own one of the most celebrated M cars ever made, in arguably one of the best conditions available today.
