BMW E46 M3 CS: The Golden Child. Shooting Brake's UK road review

If you wanted the fastest, lightest, sharpest E46 M3 for the road, you had to buy the GTR, with its motorsports purebred P60 V8. Except you couldn't, because BMW wouldn't sell you one. So instead, you could buy the CSL, which had a track focus and a pared back interior - unless, of course, you wanted a manual. BMW wouldn't sell you a manual CSL.

If you wanted the ultimate (and the last) traditional BMW M3, with 6 cylinders, three pedals and four seats, you had to buy the M3 CS. A late model M3 distilled with some of the CSL's highlight parts, the M3 CS has long been lauded as BMW's golden child - their best suited, most appropriately setup road car ever.

This 1 of 1, low mileage, low owner, Imola Red 6-speed manual E46 M3 coupe sold on Shooting Brake for £38,250.
