Bmw 3.0csl






The BMW New Six CS (internal name '''BMW E9''') is the two-door sport Coupé in BMW 's New Six line, produced from 1968 to 1975 alongside the four-door BMW E3 sedan.

It featured BMW M30 Straight-6 engines of 2.5, 2.8 and 3.0 litres in road cars, with larger units used in racing.

It was very successful in racing and helped establish BMW's status as a sporty driver's car, with success in European Touring Car Championship and the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft .

The CSL model is very collectible today.
