3.2 CSL...

I'm new on this forum, but have had my '02 since for a loong time. I was searching around craigslist last night and came across this:

Anybody know this guy/car? Is it a legit Series 2 Batmobile?

No idea who he is but that price is insane. Hard to tell if it's legitimate without seeing it in person, but there are some weird things about it in the photos. The power window buttons are in the front but should be in the back (maybe someone reinstalled them wrong) as the front windows are manual crank and the rears are power. There's no AC, which is right, but someone hacked up a custom radio faceplate and put instruments in the speaker grille cover. I didn't know they made those in black but, sure, whatever.

There's an active thread about this car on BringaTrailer.com. Interesting to see that it was listed for $180K in Dec/Jan timeframe and its now listed for $130K

For that price you would think that he would at least list the VIN# so that one could validate that it falls within the correct range for a valid CSL bat. Seems fishy to me and I live in Santa Cruz ;-)

It could be a score if it's legit...

Yes, I've now read the thread on BringATrailor now. Too funny!

I'd want to see the VIN# stamped into metal in all three places ;-)

I'm sure it's gonna go real quik at that price?

It will eventually find a buyer at close to that price. It is the real deal, one of our OC BMW friends has seen the car and knows the owner. Coupeking sold Chris Provo's Inka CSL (one of the first 169 carbed cars) earlier last year for $122K. That buyer now has it for sale and will have to take less for it due in part to the economy. The later cars that have their Bat kits are very rare and command big bucks.

Glad to hear that it's the real deal. Some lucky person is going to score. That car should be on that 'Chasing Classic Cars' TV show.
