The BMW 3.0 CSL is a legendary vehicle produced in the 1970s and is considered one of BMW's iconic models. CSL stands for "Coupe Sport Leichtbau" (Coupe Sport Lightweight) and illustrates its focus on performance and weight reduction. This car was known for its outstanding performance on the race track and is for many a symbol of BMW's motorsport successes.

The 3.0 CSL was equipped with a powerful in-line six-cylinder engine and optimized through a number of weight savings such as the use of aluminum and thin sheet steel and the elimination of various comfort elements. Its iconic "Batmobile" design with a large rear wing and striking aerodynamic elements made it not only successful on the race track, but also on the road, making it an extremely desirable sports car of its time. The BMW 3.0 CSL is still considered one of the most desirable and charismatic models in BMW history.
