• Continuing BMW's legendary reputation for producing fabulous medium size sporting saloons, the E46 BMW M3 was launched in October 2000 and featured the new 3.2-litre S54 M-tuned engine
• During its production run, BMW manufactured three special editions of the E46 M3, namely, the GTR, the Coupé Sport Lightweight (CSL) and the Competition Package (CS)
• The CS was the final version and had a comprehensive performance package which included competition springs/dampers, lightweight CSL-style alloys, a dedicated track mode (available at the flick of a switch), a quick-ratio CSL steering rack, Alcantara steering wheel and handbrake, CSL cross-drilled brake discs and a unique 'cube' aluminium trim
• This car is one of just 233 genuine UK, right-hand drive cars – so, rarer than a CSL - with just under 50,000 miles, the SMG gearbox and finished in black with black leather upholstery, it comes to our sale with a comprehensive service history
• The E46 M3 is considered by many to be one of 'the' great driver's cars of recent times; it is the limited edition CS and CSL models that are most favoured by collectors
• The private registration 'P111 BLK' will be retained and will not accompany the car
