In the BIG family of BMW M3s, the E46 type CSL is one of the rarest and most sought after. In production from 2002 to 2003, the M3 CSL was lighter and more powerful than the standard M3, which was already an exceptional car. The CSL was equipped with a 3246cc 6-cylinder engine delivering 360 horsepower at 7900 rpm. Production was very limited (only 1383 units).
