One of 50 BMW 3.0 CSL is for sale

Celebrating its 50th birthday, in 2022 BMW presented the most powerful model from the BMW M division, the BMW 3.0 CSL. It is a limited edition that will be produced in only 50 examples and one 3.0 CSL is for sale.

The car 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.

When it comes to the price, BMW did not say how much this car will cost at the launch, but some information said that it could be €750,000. However, the German company Luxury Cars Hamburg offers for sale a 3.0 CSL that has only 25 kilometers on the odometer and the asking price is 1.249 million euros. Too much? Maybe.
