Before the first M-badged car was sold (the M1 in 1979), BMW Motorsport GmbH was formed in 1972.
The first project was to turn the BMW CSL coupe into a winner in the European Touring Car Championship.
By 1973, the CSL, an M-modified, lighter version of the standard 3.0 CS Coupe, began dominating the ETCC.
BMW won that championship from 1973 through 1979.
This brochure, printed in 1977, was BMW’s way of showing the world its accomplishments.
