From mid-2003 to summer 2004, a limited-edition special model (1,383 units) of the BMW M3 E46 series was produced, bearing the CSL designation.

The M3 CSL features, for example, several vehicle components made from CFRP – door panels, centre console, roof, inserts in the front and rear bumpers – as well as aluminium doors, boot lid and bonnet. Some chassis components are made from lightweight magnesium parts.
