Bmw Csl Alpina

Happy 50th birthday to the BMW 3.0 CSL It's 50 years since BMW unveiled the legendary 3.0 CSL. An icon in the world of automobiles and also a model that marks a milestone in the collaboration between BMW and ALPINA. A glimpse into the history of this fascinating automobile.

BMW 3.0 CSL Alpina, year 1971. Colour Golf yellow (code 070) with a black interior. This 3.0 CSL comes from the first series of 169 3.0 CSL's built.

The CSL's were based upon the 3.0 CS but fitted with lightweight parts like aluminium hood, boot lid and doors, special glass, Alpina 14" alloy wheels etc. This car features special factory options like a boot lock and an original toolkit. More.

1971 BMW 3.0 CSL ALPINA B2S It is Alpina that we always thanked for the birth of the 3.0 CSL. The racing and tuning company applied pressure to BMW to build a lightweight version of their E9 Coupe and to homologate the car for the ETCC. The first 169 carburettor CSLs were built and have always been considered the purist form of CSL.

For Alpina, BMW's introduction of the 3.0 CSL provided a superb advertisement for their products, because many of the components on the BMW 3.0 CSL were already Alpina-developed. But Alpina also offered a more powerful version of the CSL. Amongst others forged higher compression pistons, three Weber 45 DCOE carburetors, bigger inlet and outlet valves and a new camshaft were installed.

Also. Following the weight disadvantage, Alpina developed a lightweight 3.0 CS for BMW for the road, the BMW 3.0 CSL, which at the same time served as a homologation model for motorsport. The first lightweight version of the BMW six-cylinder coupé appeared in 1971.

It owns the same technology as the BMW 3.0 CS coupé's carburettor version and the same output of 180 h while weighing 215 kg less.
