The latter's Bosch D-Jetronic fuel-injected engine produced 200bhp, only a whisker below the maximum enjoyed by the lightweight CSL Group 2 'homologation special', affectionately known as the 'Batmobile' on account of its futuristic aerodynamic body kit, developed at Stuttgart University and used from mid-1973 onwards. This BMW 3.0 CSi was completed on 10th June 1972 as presented today in 'Fjord Metallic' and delivered in October '72 in Paris by BMW France, S.A. The car is offered today by only its (believed) fourth owner, the current odometer reading being just under 30,000 km. An older restoration completed to the highest standard, the car is presented in beautiful condition and comes with a BMW Certificate of Authenticity confirming matching numbers and colors 😎 _______________________________________________ #auto #instacar #carporn #autoporn #design #automotive #vintage #drive #classic #classiccar #collect #icon #classiccarchasers #carphotography #forsale #drivetastefully #bmw #csi #m3 #german #france #paris #batmobile #luxury #elegance #lux #e9".
