2006 BMW M3 CS
Offered for sale here is this beautifully appointed BMW E46 M3 CS. Believed to be unique as a UK market ‘Competition Pack’ car equipped with a manual gearbox finished in glorious Mystic Blue.
Once described by Evo magazine as “The best bits of the CSL for far less money”, and as a right-hand-drive manual gearbox car, this example would make a discerning choice for any M-car enthusiast. Offered with a comprehensive service history, and in very good cosmetic order.
Equipped with the ‘Competition Package’, the CS features a quicker CSL track-focused steering rack, lightweight 19-inch alloys and uprated brakes.
A mere 241 M3 CS found homes in the UK, of which 99 were equipped with the all important manual gearbox. When compared to the 422 CSL’s which came to the UK, all fitted with BMW’s SMG transmission it can only make these Competition Sport cars all the more appealing.
