In the summer of 2003, when the M3 CSL went on sale, it really was the peak M car. The E39 generation, V8-powered M5 had departed BMW showrooms, and the wicked E60, V10 M5 was still a year away from howling toward its 8200rpm rev limit. The CSL was, for a fleeting moment, M’s flagship.
The CSL has a curb weight of 1,385 kg, 110 kg lighter than the regular M3. Structural weight reduction measures include the use of glass-reinforced plastics in various structural points in the car, a roof constructed from carbon fibre reinforced plastic reducing kerb weight by 7 kg and, more importantly, lowering the centre of gravity, body panels constructed from carbon fibre and thinner glass for the rear window.
The boot floor cover was made of lightweight fibre-board The CSL discarded a large proportion of the M3's sound insulation, electric seats, navigation system, air conditioning, and stereo. The interior includes fibreglass front racing bucket seats, a fibreglass backing for the rear seats, and carbon fibre for the centre console, door panels, door trim, and head-liner. The steering wheel has just a single button which activates the M track mode, instead of the buttons for cruise control, stereo, and phone controls on the regular M3.
