Yahoo Autos BMW details the 3.0 CSL's two-week-long production process
Unveiled in November 2022 to celebrate BMW M's 50th birthday, the limited-edition 3.0 CSL is about to enter production. Merely 50 units will be built so the coupe's production process is very different than, say, the M4's. BMW is giving enthusiasts a peek at how the model is made.
Production will take place in and near the German firm's Dingolfing facility, which also makes the 4, 5, 7 and 8 Series. The process starts with a standard M4 CSL body that's modified in-house; the wheel arches are notably widened using special beading and welding processes, according to BMW. It's painted in the same paint shop as regular-production models, and it then goes to a special station where workers use stencils to apply the distinctive red and blue stripes. Meanwhile, parts like the bumpers and roof panel are painted in a separate BMW plant.
