The E46 BMW M3 is considered as one of the best and fastest M cars built to date. When it was first introduced in 2003, enthusiasts were thrilled at the racing technologies embedded in it, including a modified version of the usual 3.2 liter S54 inline-six that which calculates the intake air directly by the DME for a much quicker engine response. Today, MR Car Design and Reil Performance, both German tuners, introduces a bespoke version of the E46 M3 CSL with a blue foil wrap, plexiglass windows, a new sports exhaust system and racing rear spoiler which originates from the GT3 model. The doors and trunk lid are also made of carbon, in order to reduce weight. Power has also been increased to 386 hp. To cope with the power, the M3 CSL was fitted with high-performance brakes, BBS wheels with Yokohama tires and retuned suspension. Overall weight is now 1,260 kg (2,778 lb) which gives it a lap time of just 7:43 minutes. In Germany, pricing is at 130,000 euros.
