1973 BMW 3.0CSL "Lightweight" (http://www.investmentmotorcars.net/inventory/detail/CSL/CSLdetail.htm)[/URL][URL="http://www.investmentmotorcars.net/inventory/detail/CSL/CSLdetail.htm"] (http://www.investmentmotorcars.net/inventory/detail/CSL/CSLdetail.htm)$Not For Sale.
The CSL is based on the 3.0 CS coupe. In the early 70's BMW realized that it could not win races without preparing a lighter, high-performance CSL (the "L" suffix for "leicht" or German for "lightweight"). In September 1972, BMW produced the first of its CSL lightweight derivatives, which offered an aluminum hood & trunk lid with little in the way of luxury equipment. The CSL label needed only 1000 cars to pass for homologation purposes. BMW made a total of 1096 complete cars over 4 years. This Series 2 model, had a production run of just 429 cars. These also benefited from fuel injection combined with an increase in displacement 3003 cc. This fine example is 100% original except for it's Fjord Blue paintwork which was redone many years back. She has only 39,000 KM (24K miles) & was delivered new to Auto Elite BMW in Savona, Italy.
