BMW Three Gods in BMW3.0CSL's Heart

Coincidentally, the three cars in the photo happened to be the gathering of BMW's three gods over the years.

They are:

Bmw 3.0 CSL is in the middle.

On the left is BMW M3A2.5.

On the right is the BMW M 1 Procar championship.

What a rare picture, a collection of BMW cars.

Today, let's talk about this one in position C, BMW 3.0 CSL.

BMW 3.0 CSL is a racing version of bmw30cs (chassis code E9). E9 is a series of coupes produced by BMW from 1968 to 1975.

Ordinary BMW 3.0 CS

Originally released as a 2800 CS model, it was developed based on the BMW 2000 C/2000 CS four-cylinder coupe with a more powerful BMW M30 six-cylinder engine.

So, what's the difference between 3.0CSL and the regular version?

First of all, L does not mean vulgar "lengthening", but "lightweight".

With the honor of six European Championships, newberg Lin Circuit has set an amazing lap record, and the first BMW art car in history-BMW 3.0 stands out wherever it appears.

It's time to review the history of this BMW light coupe.

15 1 kw (206 HP); The displacement is 3 153 cubic centimeters; 220 km/h top speed; Curb quality1270kg;

This is the most important point of this car. The time stamp is 1973.

Is it strong? Can only say that it is not weak. Is it strong? Not necessarily.

But this is unusual.

In fact, at 1968, BMW has built a benchmark model with 2800 CS. At that time, the coupe equipped with a 2.8-liter carburetor engine provided an impressive 170 horsepower.

However, the BMW 2800 CS regards itself more as a leisure car that combines sports and comfort, rather than an ascetic speed machine, and does not give priority to racing.

And 3.0CSL has changed-more pure.

1973 The most powerful street version of BMW 3.0 CSL series. Engineers have achieved their ambitions through greater power output, extremely light structure and eye-catching aerodynamic packages.

It got the nickname "Bat Chariot" from BMW fans.

No other BMW car can better reflect the designer's ideas than 3.0 CSL.

The air guide rail on the front fender ensures greater stability when turning quickly.

The 2 cm wide wheel cover provides space for the 7 inch wide alloy wheel hub.

The front spoiler exerts more downforce on the front axle, while the huge rear spoiler provides more traction for the rear wheels.

The tail wing must be removed before driving in the street, because the tail wing can only be used in the track.

When the car is delivered, the spoiler is placed in the trunk.

These details, this is the art of making cars in my mind. If I say that I can trade the latest 7 series in 2022 for a 3.0CSL, I won't hesitate. Oh, by the way, I don't have department 7.

CSL stands for "lightweight sports car"-almost every part has been weighed and measured, and if possible, it will be replaced with a lighter version. Door, trunk lid and hood are all made of aluminum, which is the lightest material that can be used 50 years ago.

Even the metal has been reduced: the roof, trunk partition, wheel cover and front and rear side walls are now thin metal.

The rear and side windows are plexiglass. Every gram counts, so even the lifting mechanism of the range hood is replaced by a thin rod. The driver sits in a light bucket seat specially designed for 3.0 CSL.

Front bumper, power window, servo steering system, almost all insulation materials-and there is only a light-colored plastic skirt at the back, not a highly polished chrome bumper. Benefits: Because it saves about 200 kilograms of fuel, the power is better.

The empty weight of BMW 3.0 CSL is only 1270 kg, which is worthy of the exclamation point of1970s!

Specially developed for racing cars: 6-cylinder inline engine with power of 206 HP and displacement of 365,438+053 cubic centimeters. Manual gearbox, up to 220km/h when accelerating in the fourth gear.

1972, with the establishment of BMW motorsport co., ltd, motorsport has made great new development, and BMW 3.0 CSL dominated the touring car championship in a few years. Until 1979, no one can stop BMW 3.0 CSL from winning six European championships.

Stella's CSL has 750 horsepower.

BMW 3.0 CSL was still an art car, and the painter Frankenstra created the fastest works of art in the world at that time. Since then, some of the world's top artists have begun to design works of art for BMW cars of their time, and BMW cars have become their canvases.

The iconic design, the success of motor racing and the low production of the final version make BMW 3.0 CSL a highly sought-after classic model with absolutely rare value.

From 1973 to 1975, only 167 vehicles left the factory. A special model in the history of automobile manufacturing.

I was a little excited after talking for a long time. Let's go for a ride in my little broken BMW!

Although it is not 3.0csl, BMW just makes people feel the fun of driving.
