, but they look different, being partially covered by the signature bulged front and rear fenders. The controversial grille of the new M3/M4 is gone, replaced by more stylish kidneys finished in aluminum. This material has been used for the doors, bonnet, and trunk. There is also extensive use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic components on all bodywork sections, while the rear silencer is made of titanium.
The most striking feature of the design is probably the large rear wing and the additional roof-mounted spoiler that hark back to the E9 3.0 CSL “Batmobile”. BMW designers also added a pronounced Hofmeister kink. The beautiful racing livery with BMW M graphics on the Alpine white shade requires a special paint process adding an extra 6,700 manual work hours in production.
The interior is derived from the M3/M4 but here it is bathed in Black Alcantara upholstery and carbon fiber accents with a matte finish. The rear bench is gone, replaced by a storage compartment with dedicated space for two helmets. The standard M Carbon full bucket seats have the 3.0 CSL emblem engraved into aluminum plates below the headrest inserts, while the numbering of each unit is visible on the dashboard.
Speaking of which, in the 3.0 CSL power is transmitted to the rear axle exclusively through a six-speed manual gearbox with the help of the Active M Differential. The chassis has also been tuned with the Adaptive M Suspension and standard M carbon ceramic brakes representing the latest advancements inHonoring the “Coupé, Sport, Leichtbau” badge, the 3.0 CSL tips the scales at 1,270 kg .
The entire 50-vehicle production run of the BMW 3.0 CSL will take around three months. Pricing for the special model hasn’t been disclosed, although judging from the time and effort required for each one to leave the factory we are expecting it to be the most expensive BMW offering by a large margin.
