Vehicle DescriptionThe BMW M3 CSL with a manual conversion done by Everything M3 stands as a paragon of automotive excellence and a nod to what many purists and aficionados argue BMW should have originally produced. The decision to introduce a manual gearbox into the already legendary M3 CSL transforms the car into an even more engaging and exhilarating driving machine, drawing unanimous praise from revered automotive journalists like Henry Catchpole and Harry Metcalfe. Their experiences, shared through YouTube videos, have only fueled the legend of this conversion. Conversion Process: Everything M3's meticulous conversion process, making it one of just 12 such transformed vehicles, is notable not only for its exclusivity but also for its dedication to preserving the car's authenticity. The use of genuine BMW parts ensures that the manual CSL remains true to its roots, offering a seamless blend of original engineering and enhanced driver engagement. The decision to retain the original 4.1 differential exemplifies a commitment to maximizing the driving experience, emphasizing the engine's power delivery and the car's dynamic capabilities. Performance: Stripping out 110kg from the standard M3 and adding an extra 17bhp to the already potent 3.2l straight-6 engine results in a car that's not just fast but feels alive. With 355bhp propelling a car that weighs just 1400kg, its performance figures, including a 4.9-second sprint to 62mph, tell only part of the story. The real magic lies in the auditory symphony of induction noise and exhaust note at full throttle, reaching up to 8,000 rpma pure, intoxicating experience that defines what a drivers car should be. Ownership and History: This particular CSL, with only 23,000 miles on the clock, showcases a well-documented history of care and passion from its owners. Its a vehicle that's not just maintained but cherished, ensuring it remains in pristine condition for the next custodian to enjoy. Equipment: BMW only had one option on the no cost option list, and the first owner ticked it. The vital inclusion of air conditioning and the not so vital stereo system, emphasizes the cars focus on delivering a pure, undiluted driving experience. The real music, as noted, comes not from the stereo but from the cars mechanical harmony, controlled by the drivers right foot. This M3 CSL, now enhanced with a manual gearbox, stands as a testament to BMW's engineering prowess, enriched by Everything M3's vision. It's a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history that is both a collector's item and a drivers dream. The next owner will inherit not just a car but a legacya creation that perfectly embodies the thrill of driving and the joy of manual control. Its a vehicle that, without a doubt, will leave a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to experience it. |
