I found this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on AutoTrader Classics. It is...quite nice.
From the posting:
1974 BMW 3.0 CSL VIN: 2275477
Documented CSL by BMW
Number 47 of the first batch 3.2 injection cars Rare factory flared rear wheel arches Currently running a later 3.5 liter M30 motor and 5-speed transmission. Original and correct 3.2 liter M30 block and head come with the car.
CSL 2275477 was manufactured on October 23rd, 1973 and delivered on February 4th, 1974 to the BMW dealer Bovenkamp in Wuppertal, Germany. In 1980 a pair of friends in New Jersey were actively bringing in grey market cars from Europe, and 2275477 found its way to the United States in one of their containers. One of the friends registered the car in New Jersey, and owned the car until 1983 when marital troubles forced him to sell it to the other friend, Joe Rega. The CSL would remain his possession for the next 29 years.
For the first 20 years the CSL resided at Joe's friend's BMW shop. Towards the end of its residency the car was repainted in its correct Polaris silver. In 2003 Rega took the CSL home and placed it next to his 3.0 CS and two 3.0 CSis. He would go on to drive it only about 500 miles in the next 9 years.
2275477 was delivered to the US wearing a set of BBS racing wheels, which were refurbished by BBS when the car was repainted. Currently the car sits on 16 Alpina wheels, a popular modern upgrade, and has a correct 14 Alpina spare. The original factory BBSs come with the car.
This car has been documented by BMW to be a genuine CSL. It is number 47 of the first batch 3.2 injection cars built from 7/1973 through 10/1973, of which only 110 were produced. It was delivered new with all of the options that gave the car its nickname the Batmobile, including the rear air guide and wing. This is also one of the few CSLs that were special ordered from the factory with flared rear wheel arches that where installed to accommodate the larger BBS wheels.
During Rega's ownership the original 3.2 liter M30 engine and 4-speed transmission were replaced with a later 3.5 liter M30 motor and 5-speed transmission. The original and correct 3.2 liter M30 block and head come with the car.
2275477 is one of the finest original examples we have seen. No rust, no wear, no issues. The underside of the car is immaculate, and the interior, from the correct Scheel sport seats to the dash woodwork, looks as new. Fully detailed and serviced this CSL is ready to represent one of BMW's finest hours.

More than it is worth - and I mean that with the utmost respect. Amazing car, and it looks to be in amazing shape, but the 3.0 CSLs are in that tier where they are appreciating, but not in that tier where they are highly sought after classics. Thus, long term, you'd be better off getting a completely stock model and keeping it that way versus paying the owner what he expects his modifications to be worth. But if you only plan on keeping it short-term, then it depends on how much disposable income you have.

It doesn't appear to be modifications, but as my friend's dad did when he bought his numbers matching AAR 'Cuda, an different engine for use while the original sits in a crate effectively guaranteeing it cannot nuke itself ever (it's apparently fairly common among high end muscle car guys). The wheels being the same, to protect the original BBS' which are reconditioned and stored from possible curb rash.
Not saying it's "worth" what they're asking, but because the few original bits come with the car with a guarantee you can drive it without risking them is an awfully appealing proposition to someone with the means who actually wants to drive it.

Pure, unadulterated filth. If I were to drive this beautiful car, I would get arrested for indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, and disturbing the peace because of all the crises that would happen inside and outside of the car. Better invest in some Grandma-style plastic seat and carpet covers.

Still, as a collector, having a 10k motor with a 110k chassis is worth less than having a 10k motor with a 10k chassis. But then I've never been one for owning cars and not driving them. Although I might be guilty on occasion with my 911.
But my point was that car modifications are a labor of love. Just because parts cost a lot of money doesn't mean the value is worth that much more. That's why so many project cars get parted out and so many cars get returned to their stock form.
It's easy to look at a completed project car online and go "that ish is cash", but when you're actually spending your money on it, suddenly any corner cut during the build is a potential for financial failure, and I don't think that point was getting across.
