 Comments:The third 3.2-liter CSL produced and likely the oldest surviving one 
			(the first two were test cars). It was one of the cars on display at 
			the Aschheim test track in August 73, for the introduction of the 
			1974 range to the Press. In some press articles it was shown with 
			Alpina wheels and a Petri steering wheel, in others with prototype 
			Mahle wheels and a Motorsport-Ati steering wheel. This car was also 
			the winged CSL used for the B/W pictures of the IAA 73 press kit
 Owners: 
				1994->today: Marc E (Switzerland): acquisition at a giveaway price. Nothing 
				happened since 1994, it was just stored in dry places. Restoration is 
				expected to start soon.1990 or 1991-> 1994: changed hands several times but it was 
				never road registered again. All the successive owners were body 
				repair workshops and used-car dealers, which probably used the 
				car on trade plates occasionally. In July 1994 the last seller, 
				a Garage in Solothurn, wanted to get rid of the car at any 
				price.1977->1990 or 1991: Roland Jenny, Switzerland.. Roland tried 
				to sell it on several occasions. A possible reason why the car 
				did not attract a new owner was that 2275489 had been relooked 
				(probably in 1977 already) and it looked pretty strange. It was 
				repainted Alpin-weiss, with non-original black stripes, with 
				protective mouldings on the sides, with Ronal "Kleeblatt" wheels 
				and with headrests in the back.1974/Feb 1975: BMW sold the car to Hans Biermann, an 
				entrepreneur living in the Black Forest region. Now registered 
				TUT-S5, it wore the prototype Mahle wheels. It was raced locallyDelivered on Friday the 13th of July to BMW's Sales and 
				Marketing division and fitted with the registration plate number 
				M-YM313. It was used for the famous black and white photos 
				included with the 1973 IAA press kit, and was also one of the 
				cars on display at the BMW test track in 8/73 (for the 
				introduction of the 1974 BMW range to the press)Production: July 1973    |
