BMW 2800CS E9 for saleThe BMW E9 2800CS was introduced in 1968 to replace the smaller 4-cylinder 2000CS model. The 2800CS E9 was lighter than its predecessor and was now equipped with the same 2788cc straight-six engine found in the BMW E3 series. With 168 hp, it was a fast car for its time. Production continued until 1971, when engine sizes increased to 3 liters.Exterior: The BMW 2800 CS looks very elegant in this dark blue (Atlantic Blau) solid color, with all the new chrome details providing a striking contrast. The paint quality is exceptionally good, with a deep and glossy finish. This car has undergone an extensive restoration and is 100% rust-free. It features excellent panel gaps all around and looks just as good underneath as it does on top. It rides on a new set of aluminum spoke wheels fitted with brand-new 205/55 R16 tires.Interior: BMW used a velvet-like material in the interior, giving the car a very exclusive feel. In this 2800 CS, everything is new, including the carpet and headliner. The refurbished wood panels look amazing and add a touch of warmth to the otherwise rather strict and functional dashboard. The dashboard and all instruments are in perfect condition and fully operational. Although the BMW E9 is a coupé, it is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate four normal-sized adults.Engine and Mechanics: The restoration of this BMW E9 2800 CS began with a bare metal body. The small amount of rust that was found was carefully repaired. The reason there was not much rust is the fact that the car came from a dry climate in Italy. Once the bodywork was completed, the car was reassembled using many new components. Today, the car is back on the road and has been driven a few thousand kilometers to test and fine-tune all functions.
