​BMW Eurokars Experience Centre Set To Display Limited-Edition BMW 3.0 CSL

BMW enthusiasts and automotive connoisseurs are in for a treat as the iconic BMW 3.0 CSL is set to make an appearance at the BMW Eurokars Experience Centre for a limited-time exclusive showcase. The limited-edition BMW 3.0 CSL pays homage to its legendary predecessor, embodying the essence of sheer driving pleasure and performance excellence that BMW M GmbH has championed for five decades.

Only 50 consecutively numbered units of the BMW 3.0 CSL were produced worldwide, elevating its status to that of a rare collector's item. The production process, which spanned over three months, took place at the BMW Group Dingolfing plant in Moosthenning, Lower Bavaria. The production time for each vehicle comprised eight assembly cycles, a meticulous process that took up to 10 days. This exclusive model, no longer in production and not intended for sale in Singapore or the region, is a gem reserved solely for Europe.​

The BMW 3.0 CSL boasts an exclusive interior with handcrafted carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components, emphasising its status as a masterpiece of precision and excellence. As we celebrate the display of this extraordinary model, enthusiasts can anticipate more additions to the collection from the esteemed CS/CSL family on the horizon.

"We are honoured to be one of the 50 owners worldwide to showcase such an exclusive and highly coveted car right here in Singapore. This icon embodies the pinnacle of BMW's engineering prowess and design aesthetics. Nestled comfortably in our BMW Eurokars Experience Centre, we aim to provide a luxurious, unique and immersive experience for our customers," said Mr. Jason Lim, Managing Director of BMW Eurokars Auto.

Distinctive Design and Performance Prowess

The BMW 3.0 CSL stands as a testament to BMW M's racing expertise, seamlessly integrating racetrack technology into a two-seater road car. With its dynamic exterior elegance, classic sports car cockpit, intelligent lightweight construction, straight six-cylinder engine, manual transmission, and rear-wheel drive, the 3.0 CSL adheres to the traditional principles of a BMW M automobile. Its unique design encapsulates the brand's 50 years of success, providing an exclusive high-performance experience and a nostalgic journey through BMW's rich history.

A Glimpse into Racing History

The BMW 3.0 CSL resurrects the spirit of its legendary predecessor, a touring car that dominated the European Touring Car Championship during the 1970s. A powerhouse on the racetrack, the road version of the CSL became synonymous with driving pleasure, boasting lightweight construction, distinctive aerodynamics, and a powerful straight six-cylinder engine. The modern 3.0 CSL pays homage to this legacy, reinterpreting the iconic "Coupe, Sport, Lightweight" formula with a contemporary twist.​

Powerful Aesthetics and Modern Features

The exterior design of the BMW 3.0 CSL exudes a blend of classic coupe proportions and modern M-typical features. From the distinctive kidney grille to the flat-contoured headlights and aerodynamic elements, the design pays tribute to the iconic "Batmobile" nickname of its predecessor. Muscular wheel arches house exclusive 20-inch and 21-inch forged light-alloy wheels, featuring a gold-coloured finish reminiscent of the 1970s.​

The Heart of the Beast: A Potent Straight Six-Cylinder Engine

At its core, the BMW 3.0 CSL boasts the most powerful straight six-cylinder engine ever used in a road-legal BMW M automobile. Generating a maximum output of 412 kW/560 hp and a torque of 550 Nm, which possesses the same technological roots as the power unit of the current Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) winning car. The six-speed manual transmission, coupled with rear-wheel drive, delivers intense driving pleasure and a direct connection between the driver and the road.

Innovative Suspension Technology and Braking System

The suspension technology of the BMW 3.0 CSL is a fusion of state-of-the-art components, including a double-joint spring strut front axle, five-link rear axle, and an Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers. The M carbon ceramic brake system offers outstanding deceleration performance, optimising fading stability and thermal stability. The M Traction Control function allows drivers to customise wheel slip limitations, enhancing the puristic performance on the racetrack.​

Intelligent Lightweight Construction and Exclusive Interior

True to its heritage, the BMW 3.0 CSL employs intelligent lightweight construction techniques, utilising carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) extensively. The unit also possesses a titanium rear silencer to further shed weight on the roads. (4.3kg lighter than the conventional component). The exterior features carbon components, including the roof, bonnet, and rear spoiler. The interior showcases a puristic sports car cockpit with M Carbon full bucket seats, black Alcantara surfaces, and carbon fibre trim. Each vehicle is individually numbered, emphasising its exclusivity.

Elaborate Paintwork and Nostalgic Details

The exterior of the BMW 3.0 CSL pays homage to BMW Motorsport's heritage with Alpine white uni paint and distinctive M stripes in blue, purple, and red. The paintwork, involving 134 meticulous processes, requires up to six days to paint which results in a timeless design reminiscent of classic racing cars. Nostalgic details, such as racing-inspired numbers and BMW logos on the C-pillar, bridge the past and present.​

The Future of Driving Pleasure

In conclusion, the BMW 3.0 CSL represents the epitome of driving pleasure, seamlessly blending the brand's racing heritage with modern technology. With its limited production run, exclusive craftsmanship, and homage to a legendary predecessor, the BMW 3.0 CSL stands as a symbol of BMW M's commitment to delivering top-tier performance and unrivalled driving experiences for enthusiasts around the world.
