    I sold them new. Wonderful cars. However, as I recall, the UK CSLs were right hand drive, but not the Batmobile; they were LHD only. The UK Batmobiles had glass not perspex, and manual windows not electric.
    It was a great time to be selling BMW cars.

    It's always nice to see a presentation by Tiff, the man responsible for turning me into a maniac behind the wheel, I copied all of his antics, handbrakes, J turns, drifting etc, now I heel and toe automatically from muscle memory. I love the snow and doing doughnuts around a lamp post on an empty carpark, steering with the throttle to keep my circles nice and tight, so thanks Tiff for making me a responsible, law abiding driver. More please, Yoda.

  • @jfv65
    @jfv65 Před 3 lety +7

    For a 1970's car these e9's really feel modern. Most other cars still had live rear axels and rear drum brakes. This car already had 4 piston frontcalipers on ventilated rotors and 2piston rear calipers also on ventilated rotors. The brakes are very powerful for a car from the 1970's. It also has IRS and this CSL has an LSD as well.
    BUT these e9 cars (handbuilt by Karmann) can RUST like you wouldn't believe and at a glance you would not even see it.
    And the wings and nose are welded to the body so you can't easily replace a wing. If you do need to do that a new wing will cost you thousands! just the wing. Chrome trim pieces are also horendously expensive and rare.

  • @BanjoLuke1
    @BanjoLuke1 Před 3 lety

    A glorious totem. For road use, nothing like as pleasant as any other one of the CS models.... But this is not a road car in terms of purpose.
    Few will ever get to drive this precious unicorn, but a CSi, a CS, even an automatic is still a wonderful thing on the public highway. Most now sit on modern tyres and have modern dampers and braking surfaces.... But still the aura of Munich on the 1970s.
    In fact, any BMW from that era will be a glorious drive..... 2002, 2500, 3.0Si, even the long, lumbering 3.3Lia.... Cars built to be a pleasure to drive, at a time when few were.
    Lovely video about a shockingly rare, beautifully conceived and built thoroughbred. Thank you.

    Great video Tiff of a truly magnificent car. I had one of these in the early 80's. My bigest regret is selling it. It was in mint condition and I sold it for £20,000 in 1984. I've seen the same car sold at auction for £185,000. Should never have sold it.

    Great Video Tiff always gives honest good reviews .This is a great car for sure , 203hp to 206hp when they bored it out.
    Thing is the American Trans Am cars Camaro Z28 , Mustang Boss 302 , Dodge Challenger T/A Plymouth ARR Cuda had 280hp 5 litres and costed much less and they did handle especially the Z28 . And ask for the CSL rear spoiler the Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird made the CSL look like it's tiny.

    It's so funny how far we've come. 200 hp sounds rather common in 2021, but in the early 70s that was quite an insane number of ponies in a street-legal car, weighing 1100 kgs. Even a 911 S "only" had 190 hp back then.
    Can't say I'd prefer the Batmobile-version over a regular 3.0 CSL - which, IMO, is one of the prettiest cars BMW have ever made.
