Lauded as one of the greatest M cars ever built, the E46 M3 defined an era of BMW’s engineering excellence. In 2005, the M3 CS—short for “Competition Package”—took that formula and sharpened it further, blending track-ready precision with everyday usability.

This particular example is finished in a metallic blue, a striking contrast to the purposeful aggression beneath. It sits on factory-correct Style 127 CSL wheels, giving a subtle nod to its more hardcore sibling. A CSL-style boot lid completes the silhouette, adding aerodynamic flair and visual drama to an already iconic design.

Inside, the cabin is all business—black leather sports seats, a thick-rimmed M steering wheel, and CSL-specific trim create a focused, driver-first environment, balancing sport and sophistication with precision.

At the heart of the M3 CS lies the legendary S54B32 inline-six. This example takes it a step further with a performance Eventuri carbon airbox and a custom exhaust system, producing sharper throttle response and a glorious induction note that echoes through every gear.

Now a revered modern classic, the E46 M3 CS stands as the bridge between analog feel and refined engineering. With collectors' interest rising, this is a rare chance to experience BMW M’s golden years.
