This is the second 2275xxx BAT this year going for 300K+! mentioned in this fantastic forum. For those who actually buy CSLs at such prices, will they actually be driven or will they end up in collections, as presentables at car shows or simply as future investments? Great developments for CSL owners in general, BAT or not! This CSL shows as very presentable in all aspects. It has obviously just been 'restored' but the only aspect I miss on this lovely CSL, is the crisp midline fold on both sides. That midline fold has always been an important indication of a good body but this could/ surely is due to a deceptive angle or light issue or the picture it self. Bottom line, it's a real beauty.

I know the car well ... at least mechanically.
Ron did a great job of detailing the CSL. Not my thing anymore ... but to each his own.
Bats IMHO should always have the tri-color motor sport stripes ... but again, to each is own !!
Series one Bats had the larger 3.2 ltr. engines and this car did run noticeably better than any 3.0 CSL's.
Wasn't a bad rusty car ... seen better ... seen worse (much worse)
I put well over 3k miles on the car during the time I owned it ... went thru the brakes, charging system (grounds mostly) ... ironed out all the bugs and then sold it ... along with 2275 123 and 2275 220 and the absolute best '75 2002 Turbo on the planet, oh and did I mention 2275 997 (BMW Motorsport Race CSL) and the Group 2 "Martini" race CSL ...
Thanks to our bought and paid for "free trade, one world government" the textile business in the US isn't what it used to be.
This site needs a "Political forum" ...

Along with the beautiful Golf 2275030 you sold me. }:>) RB
Roger ... you do know that your "Bill of Sale" clearly states 2275 030 is being sold to "Roger" thru a "Living Trust" ... you can't sell it unless you sell it back to me (at yearly inflation increases) and it reverts back to me at your death !?!?
My story and I'm sticking to it ...
Be Safe, Jimmy
