2004 BMW M3 CSL E46 — SA Car #3 of 65

Few modern BMWs carry the same weight as the E46 M3 CSL. Finished in iconic Silver Grey Metallic, this example is confirmed as South African car number 3 of only 65 CSLs delivered locally, with Lyndhurst Auto recorded as the original selling dealer.

Globally, the CSL was built in limited numbers, with just 1,383 produced worldwide and only 422 in right-hand drive. Powered by the 3.2-litre S54B32HP straight-six and paired to the 6-speed SMG II gearbox, it remains one of BMW M’s most focused driver’s cars.

The CSL formula was simple but serious: less weight, sharper response and more theatre. Carbon fibre components, racing bucket seats, Alcantara trim and the unmistakable induction sound all combine to create a car that feels raw, special and properly motorsport-inspired.

This example has also had the key period recalls attended to, adding further peace of mind for its next custodian.

Rare, collectible and hugely respected, this is one of BMW’s true modern icons — a blue-chip M car with genuine South African significance.
