CSI (bmwclassicparts) did restoration work on this car for a customer in China, who bought the car at the Monterey auction and correct the many wrong parts that had been installed on it over the years, get everything working again, and do paint, trim, and interior repair.

 

2011:

This “Batmobile” from 1973, chassis 2275441, is the 12th Series 3 car produced. It was professionally restored by noted BMW coupe specialists Dan Koturov and Carl Nelson between 1997 and 1998 and carefully maintained in show-quality condition ever since. In addition to its desirable Polaris Silver exterior finish with tri-color 'M' stripes, it retains all the correct lightweight aluminum body panels (door skins, hood and trunk lid) and Plexiglas side windows, as well as the deleted front bumper and a black fiberglass rear bumper. The complete suite of “Batmobile” aerodynamic devices includes the roof hoop, rear wing, rear spoiler, front-fender wind splits and a front air dam. Performance is even stronger, with engine displacement increased to 3.5 liters and a Shrick 282 camshaft. The interior is equipped with a set of correct, period-style Scheel racing seats, and the car is complete with original equipment spec Alpina wheels and with Michelin XWX tires.
