The seller offers for sale this 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL, a timeless classic coupe with an odometer reading of 87,301 miles. This vehicle, finished in striking Verona Red, represents BMW’s legacy of precision engineering and iconic design. The car’s 2.9L inline-six engine and manual transmission provide an engaging driving experience, while its lightweight construction and sporty aesthetics emphasize its heritage as a homologation special for racing.
The car has been repainted in 2007. The paint remains in good condition, with minor chips on the front and a few blemishes on the bumper. The interior is clean, featuring minimal wear on the driver’s seat bolster and slight cracking on the wood trim of the driver’s door card.
The BMW 3.0 CSL, known as the “Batmobile” in its aerodynamic racing guise, was developed as a lightweight version of the standard 3.0 CS/CSi models. Introduced in the early 1970s, it was designed to dominate touring car racing, combining reduced weight with improved aerodynamics and power. This particular example has been cherished by enthusiasts, with its ownership history documented in publications like *Bayerisches Blatt*.
Noted imperfections include minor rust repairs on the exhaust system and small stone chips on the front, consistent with its age and use.
