Terry Sayther Automotive is proud to offer this 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL, VIN # 2211372. This lIghtweight version of the 3.0CS was built for homologation for racing in the German Touring Car Championship series, & only about 170 of the early non-injected CSL's were produced. Lighter weight was acheived through the use of thinner body panels, aluminum trunk lid, hood, & doors, fiberglass rear bumper, deleted front bumper, & plastic rear windows. The aluminum hood on this carhad been replaced with a steel hood prior to our ownership. Unique to the CSL are Scheel racing seats, no power steering, no AC or heater, no sound deadening, the infamous bat wing (currently not installed, but in storage), front air dam, chrome fender lip extensions, air guide above the rear window, black rubber air guides on the front fenders, hood pins, black headliner, & fixed rear windows. Below is a link to the ///M Registry's 3.0CSL FAQ entailing the differences between the standard 3.0CS, & CSL variant. http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=1#2 Terry originally acquired the CSL in the mid 80's, & it had been repainted in blue at that time. He had it painted back to the original color (Golf yellow), & it has been in Terry's personal collection ever since. The car came to us with an incorrect engine, which we removed & replaced with a twin cam 4 valve Motorsport 3.5l S38 & close ratio 5spd from a Euro M635CSi. Radiator & other cooling system components are new. The car currently has large swaybars, Bilstein shocks/struts, Split Second MAF conversion, & Alpina staggered wheels (8x16" & 7x16") with new Sumitomo HTR series tires. This car turns more heads then just about anything else out there, but it is not a concourse show car. The car makes great power, & you can break the tires free easily in 2nd gear. The car has been garage kept, starts & drives with no issues, & would be fine to take on a cross country road trip.
