The ’73 BMW 3.0 CSL is a racing variation of the BMW 3.0 Saloon (the E9, as it may also be called). The BMW 3.0 CSL was a Euro-spec 3.0 CS with aluminum bodywork to shed some weight for better on-track performance, with the CSL variant about 440 pounds (200 kg) less than the standard 3.0 CS. The ‘L’ standing for “leicht“, German for ‘Lightweight’. The Hot Wheels is based off the CSL that won in the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) and in the from 1975 through until 1979 ETT+CC. A mere 1,265 models of the 3.0 CSL rolled off the assembly line, with this rarity, one can cost upwards of $350,000 (~€305,000) to purchase one.  hotwheels.fandom.com
