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.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
