The recently introduced BMW M4 CSL did not hold the title of the most powerful model from the BMW M division for long. That place now belongs to the long-awaited 2023 BMW 3.0 CSL, which BMW produced in honor of its 50th birthday.

This car is a reminder of the legendary model 3.0 CSL (E9), whose racing edition (Batmobile) dominated the racetracks around the world in the 70s. It is based on the M4 CSL version, and the Bavarian-based company will produce only 50 examples of this model.

It is equipped with yellow LED laser lights, body made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), rear wing and the lettering on the roof, forged lightweight crankshaft, 3D printed cylinder head core, specially designed oil supply and cooling system, adaptive dampers, variable -ratio electric power steering and carbon-ceramic brakes. It is mounted on 20″ and 21″ center-locking wheels wrapped in specially developed Michelin tires.

The BMW 3.0 CSL has an extended body in the distinctive colors of the M division and with several details reminiscent of the original racing 3.0 CSL (Competition Sport Lightweight). It is powered by a 3.0 L inline-six engine with 560 hp (412 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

BMW did not announce the price of the car, but some information says that the new BMW 3.0 CSL will cost €750,000.
