1974 BMW 3.0 CSL Batmobile Coupe

The BMW 3.0 CSL (Coupe Sport Leicht) was BMW's first foray into motorsport, and it quickly became one of the most successful touring cars of all time in the hands of top drivers, including Niki Lauda, Hans Stuck, Dieter Quester and Jacky Ickx. In 1973 Dutch driver Toine Hezemans captured the European Touring Car Championship for BMW at the wheel of a 3.0 CSL, and he co-drove the same model with Dieter Quester to a class win at Le Mans. From 1975 until 1979 the BMW 'Batmobiles' won five consecutive European Touring Car Championships. The Batmobiles are possibly the most iconic postwar BMWs, with only 110 Series I made and 57 Series II.

This car is a Series II and is the only lightweight Batmobile in its original blue paintwork and one of only 33 still on the road.
