BMW 3.0 CSL Batmobile (1971–1975) — every.autos

BM No photograph on record

⇄ Compare with other cars

The original E9-platform homologation-special coupe nicknamed 'Batmobile' for its factory aero package (front air dam, fender fins, roof spoiler, tall rear wing). Won 6 European Touring Car Championship drivers' titles 1973-1979. Distinct from the modern 2022/2023 50-unit continuation car, which is a separate, already-catalogued DVLA-sourced record (id bmw-3-0-csl-2023-dvla) — named 'Batmobile' rather than a parenthetical '(E9)' suffix because enrich_limited_editions.py's normalize_name() strips
