If you purchase a vehicle in a different country to your own, it may be subject to local duties, sales taxes, or environmental levies when imported. You may find this introductory guide helpful, and our team is also here to help. However, you must investigate any duties or taxes that may be due on top of the purchase price before committing to buy. KEY FACTS This E46-era BMW M3 CSL is a rare and thrilling modern classic performance coupe. It is powered by a 3.2-litre 'S54' naturally aspirated inline-six, delivering power to the rear wheels via a six-speed automated manual SMG transmission with paddle shift. First registered in 2003, this example is an original Italian-market model, which remains located in Italy. The odometer indicates 57,624 km. The car has remained in single-family ownership from new, having originally been registered to the seller’s father’s business. This E46-era M3 CSL is one of just 1,383 examples produced worldwide. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Produced as the flagship model of the E46-generation M3 range, the CSL weighed 110kg less than the standard coupe due to a carbon-fibre roof, air box, front splitters, and rear diffuser, as well as an aluminium bonnet and thinner rear windscreen glass. This example is finished in the timeless shade of Sapphire Black Metallic, over an Anthracite Alcantara and ‘Amaretta Reflex’ cloth-trimmed interior, punctuated by carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of 19-inch Y-spoke alloy wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, electric windows, Dynamic Stability Control, switchable sport mode, automatic air conditioning, and a BMW Business CD stereo. Accompanied by its ASI registration, the owner’s manuals in the original CSL Alcantara document holder, the stamped service booklet, the registration document, a few maintenance invoices, and two original keys.
