1973 BMW 3.0 CSL Navigation
This Fjord Blue BMW 3.0 CSL Lightweight was delivered new to Auto Elite in Savona, Italy in May of 1973. It was imported to the United States in 1983. This is an original vehicle having just one repaint since new, plus the installation of 16-inch radial spoke alloy wheels, a 'Batmobile' style front airdam, and a Nardi steering wheel.
Although listed as a 'Lightweight' it has the 'street package' option consisting of steel doors as opposed to alloy doors. The vehicle has only 24,000 miles (39,000 KM) and still has the dealer sticker in the back window.
The car is powered by a 3.0 liter overhead-cam inline 6-cylinder engine coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission. It has a power rating of 200-206 horsepower and a top speed of 136 mph. It is fitted with fully independent coil-spring suspension, with front MacPherson struts, power-assisted worm-and-roller steering and ventilated disc brakes.
