Autocar magazine wrote “this M3 CS has its throttle pinned from 2000rpm in third gear and my ears are almost beside themselves, craning out over the lowered window. The noise starts with a deep, cultured rumble, but suddenly at 3000rpm it wakes up and roars an ugly, almost rattly sound – like a wrench running along the bars of a lion’s cage. Gradually the induction roar and hiss from the four stubby exhausts overwhelms everything and the note hardens until it’s screaming round to the cut-out. If ever you needed to explain to a little green man with three eyes and a nifty silver space suit why diesels, turbocharged engines and electric motors simply don’t do it like a highly tuned naturally aspirated petrol engine, point them to this straight six.” They went on to say, “One of the real strengths of the M3 CS that leads to its enormous popularity is that, despite being a 338bhp sports coupé, it is perfectly happy being used every day for the most mundane of journeys. Here you need a confidence-inspiring car and the M3’s chassis gives you just that. And what aides that confidence, and alone makes the CS worth the extra money over the standard M3, is the CSL’s steering rack. Crucially, it removes the small dead-zone around the straight ahead that was the M3’s biggest dynamic blot. Arriving back at the circuit with pinging discs and wide eyes, I mentally file the experience in the ‘drives to remember for life’ folder in my brain.” The CS was also given a retuned dynamic stability control system with an "M track mode" setting that allowed the car to be pushed to its limits before being activated. Top speed was 155 mph, and 0-62 mph was achieved in just 5.0 seconds. Our M3 CS was supplied by Specialist Cars Luton BMW in July 2005 who also carried out the all-important running-in service at 1,143 miles. The M3 CS is complete with a full BMW official dealer history, handbook pack, spare keys, MOT history and historic tax discs. The CS has been freshly serviced, and the rear subframe checked, a new SMG accumulator and hydraulic unit were installed, and a new set of tyres fitted (due to age). A 12-month comprehensive warranty is also included. These CS’s have become highly sought after by BMW collectors and enthusiasts alike. Available to view now at our London showrooms.
