Produced in 50 units, the BMW 3.0 CSL weighs only 1,270 kg, has rear-wheel drive and a style that pays homage to its ancestor, born 50 years ago. That number 50 is also taken up in the livery of the BMW 3.0 CSL now made on the basis of the BMW M4. But despite being based on a BMW M4, the BWW 3.0 CSL has been completely turned upside down to be inspired by the acronym "Coupé, Sport, Lightweight".
BMW has not declared the technical data of the new 3.0 CSL, including performance. As a reference, the BMW M4 CSL offers a 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 307 km/h.
Designed to excite both on the track and on the road, the 3.0 CSL will be produced in just 50 specimens, all handmade with an obsessive attention to detail.
The legendary BMW 3.0 CSL comes back to life with a limited series celebrating its history. The most exclusive German BMW ever is a tribute to the history of the brand and the 50 years of BMW's sports division, the M series.
Although the name has remained the same, the basis is that of the new BMW M4. Two seats, rear-wheel drive and manual transmission.

Despite the pure racing car equipment, the 3.0 CSL remains a true BMW when it comes to interior luxury. The Alcantara upholstery for the seats and dashboard make the cabin very sought after and there is no lack of carbon fiber moldings and an insert that indicates the number of the specimen.
The BMW CSL is powered by the most powerful 3.0 six-cylinder in history. Here the S58 engine has been increased to 560 hp and 550 Nm and is combined only with the 6-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. This is an increase of 10 hp and a decrease of 100 Nm compared to the BMW M4 CSL, which, however, is equipped with automatic transmission.
