BMW has a very large group of enthusiasts world-wide, and within that group, there are several close knit communities that have been mesmerized by one model or another.

One of those proud communities is celebrating 10 years since their favorite model has been launched.

I am talking about the BMW M3 CSL fans, 50 of which have gathered to show their love for their vehicle. For the same occasion BMW released a video where the nature of the M3 CSL is explained. Basically, the BMW M3 CSL is a lightweight version of the normal M3 (110 kg lighter), giving the limited edition car better performance.

This weight reduction was possible thanks to the use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber. BMW only made 1.383 units of the M3 CSL, and it was so good that in just a few months they were all sold. For more details, follow the video below.

BMW always has new ideas and more and more reasons to unveil limited or special editions of it’s best selling models. Now, it is the Republic of South Africa’s turn to enjoy the spotlight (again, because last month the 3 Series Dynamic Edition was launched), as it will be the home of the latest BMW M3 Frozen Edition. The country was chosen because BMW will have clocked 25 years of presence there and that needs to be celebrated accordingly.

Under the bonnet, the BMW M3 Frozen Edition will be sporting 442 hp and 420 Nm of torque because of the different modifications that were done, like a new exhaust pipe, a new management system for the engine or AC Schnitzer components. For the gearbox, the BMW M3 Dual Clutch will be present.

As for the aesthetics, the BMW M3 Frozen Edition will be available in two Frozen colours: Frozen Grey and Frozen Black, each version having 19-inch wheels, red calipers for the brakes and black leather interior.

Having a price tag of almost R1.2 million, only 25 units of the BMW M3 Frozen Edition will be available, 8 of which will be produced this year and the rest in 2011.
