Launched in 2022 to celebrate half a century of M, the modern revival of the Batmobile is a collector\u2019s dream. When the car debuted, Munich called it the \u201cmost exclusive special model the company has ever produced.\u201d Yes, apparently it\u2019s even more special than the mid-engined M1 supercar.<\/p>\n<p>Only 50 cars were ever made, all based on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/09\/01\/bmw-m4-csl-new-record-nurburgring\/\">M4 CSL<\/a>. However, there were major changes compared to the donor car. The coachbuilt body, reminiscent of the ultimate E9 version, was obviously the most significant modification. BMW\u2019s engineers also swapped in a manual gearbox and upgraded the engine. With 553 horsepower, the 3.0 CSL is the company\u2019s most powerful production car ever to use an inline-six.<\/p>\n<p>Although pricing details were never publicly disclosed, it is believed these cars changed hands for roughly \u20ac750,000. We know for a fact that one example fetched over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/11\/25\/bmw-3-0-csl-one-million-euros-auction\/\">\u20ac1 million<\/a> (after taxes) at an RM Sotheby\u2019s auction in M\u00fcnchen in 2023. While most vehicles were built with a left-hand-drive configuration, BMW also assembled six RHD cars. This is one of them.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWhVg9BjNeA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\"\/>\n<p>One-percenters should know that an RHD-spec car has now come up for sale through Sasso Automotive in the UK. It\u2019s in immaculate condition, having been driven just 21 miles (34 kilometers). The 3.0 CSL in question is #17\/50 and still has protective film throughout the cabin. BMW built all the cars in a fixed configuration: Alpine White exterior with M stripes, paired with a black Alcantara interior.<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s an M4 CSL at its core, the 3.0 CSL is packed with exclusive upgrades. Beyond the jaw-dropping bodywork, it rides on stunning gold-colored center-lock wheels. Inside the two-seat cabin, there\u2019s a special white gear lever knob with a \u201c50\u201d logo and the signature M stripes. The fact that it\u2019s individually numbered and largely hand-painted further adds to its appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The exotic dealer doesn\u2019t mention pricing, but these cars typically sell for more than their original sticker price. With hybrids and EVs shaping the future of BMW M, the 3.0 CSL will go down in history as one of the last special M cars of the pure combustion-engine era.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it\u2019s not an entirely new development compared to the M4 CSL, the unique body makes it instantly desirable. Unfortunately, these cars are rarely driven by their owners. As with this low-mileage example, ultra-rare models tend to spend most of their lives in climate-controlled garages, occasionally changing hands.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, whoever buys this RHD-spec 3.0 CSL will actually put some miles on it without worrying about resale value.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/sassoautomotive.com\/arrivals\/bmw-3-0-csl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sasso Automotive<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"cmplazyload\" data-cmp-vendor=\"s30\" data-cmp-purpose=\"c52\" title=\"BMW 3.0 CSL - Sasso Automotive\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-cmp-type=\"text\/plain\" data-cmp-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1Am3VYwsXh8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article Summary The 3.0 CSL is currently BMW&#8217;s most powerful production car with an inline-six engine.
