The rarest and most sought-after variant of the beautiful E9 coup, the 3.0 CSL arrived with aluminium doors, bonnet, and boot lid to help shed some 200 kilograms. Building 1,265 units allowed BMW to homologate race cars that would notch no fewer than six European Touring Car titles between 1973 and 1979.
Just 500 CSLs were configured in right-hand drive, including this 1972 example. Equipped with the more potent Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection system, the sonorous straight-six produced 206 horsepower. Please note that this car is fitted with what is believed to be a non-stamped factory replacement engine.
The consigning owner, intent on finding a rare Ceylon Metallic car, imported chassis 2285250 to Finland in June 1999. The following year, a restoration and repaint was commissioned. Today, complete with the desirable Scheel sports seats, Petri three-spoke steering wheel, 14-inch CSL alloys, and electric rear windows, this example would be a superb addition to any marque or motorsport-themed collection.
