The Ultra-Rare Original BMW M Car | Driving the 3.0 CSL Batmobile

1970s1973youtube

OWN AN ICON https://crsnbds.com/batmobile In this episode, Kennan Rolsen drives the BMW that spawned the legendary M Brand and retraces its origins from famed car designer Bob Lutz and Formula 1 champion Niki Lauda. The E9 BMW 3.0 CSL "Batmobile" on Cars & Bids! The Batmobile is a legendary car, touting insane aerodynamic styling and a racing pedigree that established BMW Motorsport. This particular example is especially desirable, as it doesn't have the City Package, meaning all of its weight-saving measures are intact — plexiglass side windows, no sound deadening, no power steering, no air conditioning, and more. It's also one of the later CSL models produced, meaning it features the larger fuel-injected 3.2-liter 6-cylinder engine and the distinctive body kit and M stripes that we all associate with the Batmobile. This 3.0 CSL also comes from the famed McKenna collection in Southern California Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more exciting content! FOLLOW CARS & BIDS!
