The BMW M3 was manufactured from mid-2000 to summer 2006. The M3 has a high-revving inline six-cylinder engine that delivers 343 hp. From mid-2003 to summer 2004, BMW built the limited edition Coupé Sport Leichtbau, or CSL for short, based on the M3, of which a total of 1,383 units were produced. The CSL differed from the M3 in that it had a more powerful engine, now delivering 360 hp, a sequential 6-speed transmission and numerous weight-saving measures, which gave the CSL not only a different appearance but also even more outstanding performance. All these differences are faithfully reproduced in our 1/18 scale model.
