Summary
Thirty Years of BMW M.

The BMW M3 CSL - the 110 Per Cent Car. The M Story. The BMW M GmbH Cars.
Specifications. The three terms coupé, sports and lightweight,
abbreviated as CSL, have a great heritage: Back in 1938 BMW built the
legendary 328 Mille Miglia Coupé with an aluminium body and in
the '70s the Company built a lightweight sports car based on the
3.0-litre coupé. At the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show BMW M took up
the theme once again in the guise of the M3 CSL Concept Car, making the
hearts of sports car aficionados the world over skip a beat. And now,
following the overwhelming response to the concept car, BMW M is
presenting an M3 CSL prototype suitable for series production as the
predecessor to a production model launched to appear in future. The
new M3 CSL is based on the philosophy of intelligent lightweight
technology. This means the optimum combination of materials and
components using the most suitable material in each case for the
specific requirements made of a specific component.
