2022 brought us the M2, M3 Touring, M4 CSL, and the XM, but the highlight of M\u2019s 50th<\/sup>-anniversary celebrations is yet to come. Arriving sometime in November, the modern-day equivalent of the E9 3.0 CSL is believed to be limited to 50 units and sources close to Munich are saying it\u2019s going to cost a whopping \u20ac750,000. What will deep-pocketed owners get for their money? A car that \u201clooks like nothing else.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the promise made by M CEO Frank van Meel in an interview with CarBuzz<\/em> this week during the M Fest in South Africa held at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. He refrained from going into any specific details, only mentioning the 3.0 CSL<\/a> will be a \u201cvery special car.\u201d As some of you will recall, it was the M boss rather than the company itself who teased the car earlier this year by sharing images of a fully wrapped prototype on his personal Instagram<\/em> account.<\/p>\n

The mayor of M Town explained the reasoning behind the decision to tease the car months before its official debut. BMW M was about to hit the track with the 3.0 CSL for the first time and it was fully aware spy photographers would immediately jump at the opportunity to shoot the prototype. Frank van Meel decided to beat them to the punch by sharing official images of the car<\/a> on social media.<\/p>\n

Largely based on the M4 CSL<\/a>, the ultra-exclusive special edition is said to take after the 2015 3.0 CSL Hommage concept in terms of styling courtesy of a coachbuilt body. Other key differences will include the adoption of a six-speed manual transmission, slightly more power from the inline-six engine, and an even more drastic weight loss than the Competition Sport Lightweight has already received.<\/p>\n

As for the stickers plastered all over the car\u2019s body, they\u2019re self-explanatory: \u201c6MT FTW,\u201d \u201cI donut care,\u201d \u201cI like it rare,\u201d \u201care you bold enough,\u201d \u201cinsanely epic,\u201d and \u201ctoo powerful\u201d. Although the car is fully covered, it\u2019s easy to notice the new vertical kidney grille design and dual rear spoilers. That said, it doesn\u2019t look all that different compared to the M4 CSL, but it\u2019s best to wait for the official reveal to get the full picture before judging the car\u2019s design.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t be seeing any of these in the United States because the 3.0 CSL won\u2019t be sold in North America. It is believed 30 cars are coming to Europe and 8 to Asia, with the remaining 12 heading elsewhere.<\/p>\n
