The seller offers for sale a 1970 BMW 2800 CS, a classic coupe that exemplifies BMW’s elegant design and driving character of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Powered by a 2.8-litre six-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission, this model is part of the highly regarded BMW E9 series.
The body was refinished in its original silver colour, and the interior was renewed, including new blue fine leather upholstery and reconditioned wooden trim, even extending to the steering wheel. The engine and gearbox were cleaned, checked, and adjusted in line with manufacturer specifications.
The BMW 2800 CS was introduced in 1968 as part of the E9 series, which quickly became an icon of BMW’s sporting elegance. The E9 line, which would later include the legendary 3.0 CSL “Batmobile,” combined graceful proportions with powerful straight-six engines and refined interiors. The 2800 CS marked a turning point for BMW, helping establish its reputation for building luxurious yet sporty coupes. The model featured frameless windows, slender roof pillars, and an airy greenhouse, giving it a light and balanced aesthetic. Inside, the combination of fine wood trim, leather upholstery, and driver-focused instrumentation reflected BMW’s dedication to both comfort and driving engagement. Under the bonnet, the 2.8-litre engine delivered a smooth power delivery, making it a capable long-distance cruiser as well as a satisfying driver’s car.
Today, the E9 series is highly sought after among collectors, with well-restored examples like this one commanding strong interest. The blend of original specification, restoration, and careful preservation makes this 2800 CS an attractive choice for enthusiasts seeking a classic BMW with both beauty and usability.
