Few iterations of the BMW M3 are as beloved as the E46-generation and the crew over at Vorsteiner has made it even more desirable thanks to a host of components inspired by the legendary M3 CSL.
Vorsteiner fittingly dubs its package the V-CSL Carbon Fiber Program and is building just 103 examples for E46 M3 owners who want to make their cars stand out. The first, and most expensive component, is a new carbon fiber front bumper priced at a cool $2,695 that can be paired with carbon fiber splitters for an extra $695.
Elsewhere, the tuner has created a lovely carbon fiber rear lip spoiler for the BMW that costs $1,395. A subtle yet aggressive diffuser priced at $1,495 is also offered. Owners also have the option of ordering a carbon fiber hood with air extractors to help ensure the engine bay stays nice and cool. Vorsteiner also offers a host of different wheel options for the M3.
The cabin of the car can also be upgraded with a new carbon fiber center console and a set of carbon fiber bucket seats trimmed in red and blue leather as well as black Alcantara.

BMW built the E46 M3 between September 2000 and August 2006 and sold it in Coupe and Convertible guises. Nestled under the hood is the firm’s praised S54 3.2-liter naturally-aspirated straight-six producing 338 hp at 7,900 rpm and 269 lb-ft (365 Nm) of torque at 4,900 rpm. This engine signs to 8,000 rpm and has independent throttle bodies, making it extremely responsive and an absolute joy to drive. While BMW did offer the E46 M3 with a controversial SMG automated manual transmission (the only option available for the CSL), it also sold it with a much more desirable six-speed stick shift.
