In 1968, BMW introduced their new series of full size luxury cars known as the New Six. This series of cars featured various evolutions of BMW&#39;s M30 straight six engine and were available as four door sedans or two door grand tourers. The four door New Six was known as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/bmw/new-six/e3/">E3 (1968-1977)</a>, while the two door tourers were known as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/bmw/new-six/e9/">E9 (1968-1975)</a>. The New Six cars were the first BMWs to featured two rounded headlights set into the front grille, a styling motif that would become synonymous with BMW design for years to come.

BMW 3.0 CSL

The BMW 3.0 CSL was a special variant of the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/bmw/new-six/e9/">BMW New Six Coupe</a>. Introduced in 1972, the 3.0 CSL was created in order for BMW to reach homologation requirements for the European Touring Car Championship. The L in the name CSL means light, as the CSL features large weight reductions compared to its more luxurious siblings. While all CSL cars were fitted with a version of BMW&#39;s M30 inline 6 engine, displacement grew slightly over production until 1973 when displacement reached 3.2L. This engine upgrade coincided with the homologation of the aero kit for roadgoing versions. Cars fitted with this body kit are commonly referred to as &#39;Batmobile&#39; cars.
