E36 M 9 Report post Posted July 14, 2011 Oh and BTW, that isn't the 3l CSL, thats the E21 because the 3 litre CSL didn't have the flared guards at the rare, been in NZ for months! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Definitely a CSL... Look out for it at your local dealership in August and September as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E36 M 9 Report post Posted July 14, 2011 Picture of the actual car, just got taken out of BMW warehouse yesterday. Doesn't have the rear flared guards like the picture above Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam@TMBMW 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) The actual car has the number 12 on the side... The car in NZ is a '73, the one Josh posted is a '75, and the one I've posted below is a '76. Racecars evolve. There are plenty of differing styles of arches that were used on the racing CSL's, depending on what class they were in -the massive open rear arches were primarily used in IMSA/Group 2 racing. Here's a nurburgring 24 class wining car with yet another different style of arches: http://www.bonhams.com/eur/carsbmwpreview/ I guarantee when you see this car at speed show you'll realise just how wide the rear arches are.

Yes i agree with what your saying, all im saying is the car here isn't the car in the photo, i have already seen the car and the rear arches are flared, but not as much as the picture posted, as the one here is a '73 like you said.

CamB 48 Report post Posted July 14, 2011 That's got to be one of the better eras for race cars. Oh, and I can't resist... "pretty good stance - nice rake, good stretch at the front, great dish, just about enough poke, but needs more low" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"pretty good stance - nice rake, good stretch at the front, great dish, just about enough poke, but needs more low" If Anyone wants to build a replica of 1 of these I have a spare LHD shell and all the box flare gaurds are available!!
