2275xxx said:The wheels on the yellow CSL are BMW Motorsport wheels, an optional feature. They were labelled "BMW - Mahle".
The Recaro Idealsitz-S could also be ordered from BMW Motorsport.
BMW Motorsport had just BARELY been formed when the 2275 coupes were produced, and the folks who dealt with them directly (at that time) were competitors, and not the "general public." And even in 1973 competitors would not have used heavy one-piece wheels or heavy reclining seats when their rules allowed for changes.
I'd like to see if the wheels actually have "BMW-Mahle" cast into them, or if that is simply a description from a later-70's parts fiche or book that has grown legs over time.
I.M.O the implication that those vintage recaros in the bat-ized golf car, or those Mahle wheels, were factory part number-listed dealer "options" in 1973 is perhaps misleading, though I am SURE unintentionally so. But (again my opinion only) in both cases those ARE period-appropriate add-ons, just like the 3-support wing out back.
So what did that golf CSL actually sell for?
