Description:
Much like its predecessor the legendary CSL 'Batmobile', this elegant coupe proved to be a fast and rugged racer. Performing at its best in the classic long-distance events, the 'Big Six' had the staying power to conquer the world's toughest touring car races. With close to 300bhp in pre-evolution trim, Munich's svelte coupe may have lacked the outright pace of the 420bhp Jaguars and the 350bhp turbocharged Volvos but it was more driver friendly, more frugal (7mpg!) and, above all, more reliable.

One of two cars prepared and run by the Eggenberger team for BMW Italia, this evo-spec example with 330bhp was a regular front-runner in the 1984 European Touring Car Championship. The Italian/German pairing of Gianfranco Brancatelli and Helmut Kelleners finished the season fourth overall behind the Jaguars of Walkinshaw and Heyer and the Division 2 class winning Alfa Romeo of Rinaldo Drovandi. Season highlights for the team were outright wins at the Silverstone TT and the Nurburgring and a second at Monza.

Now fully prepared and in its original race-winning spec and livery, this grand old warrior (Chassis: E24 RA2-40) is just one of many of BMW's past heroes that is now ready to come out of retirement.

Best not to wait until the 'Big Six' prices go the way of the 'Batmobiles'.
