BMW M is releasing its most luxurious special edition sports car. The BMW 3.0 CSL is a technological marvel that captures the spirit of the brand's 50 years of racing passion and reflects those roots in a classic model name.
The BMW 3.0 CSL sports car is a two-seater with a distinctive look and a purist performance experience. It vividly and clearly shows how the idea from the 1970s was to put technology from the racetrack made for pure driving pleasure on the road.
The BMW 3.0 CSL sports car was designed to synthesize BMW M's five decades of racing expertise in a vehicle with strong emotional resonance. Its legendary BMW M roots can be seen in every part of its design, including its dynamic outward elegance, classic sportscar cockpit, innovative lightweight construction, straight six-cylinder engine, manual transmission, and rear-wheel drive. Together, aided by cutting-edge technology, they form the pinnacle of the brand's 50-year popularity as a sign of an obsession with the highest performance levels. Therefore, a journey in a BMW 3.0 CSL is not just a thrilling adrenaline rush but also an intimate interaction with the past and present of the world's most potent symbol.
BMW only makes a limited number of 3.0 CSL models. In honor of the milestone, fifty individually numbered copies of the commemorative version will be made available to the public. This ensures that the BMW 3.0 CSL will always be a collectible rarity, destined for the garages of the most ardent BMW M brand devotees.
It'll take around three months to crank out all of the automobiles. As part of the BMW Group's exterior location in Moosthenning, Lower Bavaria, the Dingolfing facility produces each one with meticulous attention to detail and a suite of carefully coordinated technology. Specialized bodyworkers in Munich and the BMW Group component facility in Landshut construct the specialized interior carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components by hand.
The BMW 3.0 CSL's paintwork follows a carefully planned procedure in which traditional handiwork and cutting-edge machinery work together to give each component its distinctive hue and finish. Vehicle configuration and assembly are handled by 30 highly trained and skilled professionals. Each BMW 3.0 CSL undergoes eight assembly cycles at the same number of production stations, a process that can take up to ten days due to the complexity of the factory's procedures.
Overall, the time needed to construct a BMW 3.0 CSL is far greater than that of a regular BMW M vehicle due to the exceptionally high proportion of individual hand labor. After production is complete, each vehicle is given a thorough once-over at the Dingolfing headquarters before it is allowed for shipment to the buyer. Plant Dingolfing is the largest BMW Group factory in Europe. BMW M vehicles, BMW 7 Series premium cars, and Rolls-Royce Motor cars' body components are all manufactured at the plant.
