Last week, I had one of those days that you actually secretly dream about. Of course, there are many special cars around that you have always wanted to drive. But to be honest, the BMW CSL 3.0 is a bit different from 'the rest'. Sometimes I have music on in the car and sometimes not. It may sound a bit exaggerated, but in some cars you don't need music to pass the time and not fall into some kind of haze. Because then, when you give a jet of gas and hear the brutal sound, the CD player is the last thing on your mind. And as you might guess, I didn't hear a single song from the start of the BMW CSL. Arrival I waited anxiously for the owner. And when he arrived there with the keys in his hand, the adventure began for me. Jan (owner): "Well, go ahead! Be alert that the torque only increases from bottom to top, instinctively but also really while driving! It is a bit poisonous, but please pull it, it has a sharper camshaft and it snarls so nicely after 5,000 rpm". After the brief instructions, I was still impressed by the beautiful shapes and overwhelming sound of the 3L straight six as it should be in a BMW. The CSL 3.0 The 3.0 CSL got a very small increase in displacement to 3,003cc by increasing the engine bore by a quarter of a millimetre. This was done in August 1972 to allow the CSL to race in the "over three litre" racecate
