    1972 BMW 3.0 CSLThis 1972 BMW is one of the original 19 factory CSL Race cars known to have been built, of all variants produced. One of those 19 is known to have been burned to the ground, and there are two in the BMW AG Art car collection, and at least five in museums around the world. These vehicles are commonly known as the 'Batmobiles,' and have long been considered the first actual product of the newly conceived, as yet unincorporated BMW M GMBH under the direction of Bob Lutz.

    This vehicle has enjoyed ownership in the United States for over two decades, prior to its sale to the current owner in 2005.
