BMW Motorsport GmbH did not develop the 3.0 CSL. A recent BMWCCA article explains that it was Alpina that developed the 3.0 CSL. GmbH's contribution was the "Batmobile" aero-package.

Alpina started developing the CSL in 1970. The final specs were settled upon in 1971. Lutz established GmbH in 1972 when he showed up.

To leave this out of the history of the CSL seems a little odd.
