The 1970 BMW 2800 CS is an elegant embodiment of BMW’s vision of driving pleasure and refinement from the late 1960s and early 1970s. This model, part of the renowned E9 series, put BMW even more firmly on the map as a sporty luxury car brand and made a deep impression both in Europe and abroad. Designed by German company Karmann, the lines of the 2800 CS are elegant and timeless, with a sharp profile and streamlined roofline reminiscent of the classic coupés of a distant past. These details gave the 2800 CS an iconic look that still evokes admiration from car enthusiasts and collectors today. Under the hood, the BMW 2800 CS houses a 2.8-liter six-in-line engine, a powerplant that gave the brand a reputation as a master of refined engines with a powerful and smooth driving experience. At 170 horsepower, this engine was impressive for the time, and it provided the CS with the dynamics expected of a sporty BMW. This model also foreshadowed the legendary ‘Batmobile’version of the CSL, which later became one of the most sought-after BMW’s of all time. The 2800 CS thus laid the foundation for BMW’s later successes in both touring car racing and the luxury sports coupémarket. The interior of the 2800 CS exudes sophistication and comfort, with details such as wood trim, leather upholstery, and a sleek dashboard that looked modern and uncluttered at the time. BMW cunningly managed to combine sportiness and luxury, allowing the 2800 CS to be used both as a sports car and as a comfortable touring car. This made the model attractive to a wide audience that valued driving pleasure without compromising on comfort. The BMW 2800 CS is not just another classic; it carries a timeless style and charm that has stood the test of time. Today, it is a sought-after model among collectors, who appreciate both its history and unique driving experience. It is a car that is not only beautiful to look at, but also shows its true nature on the road – a blend of power, elegance and refinement that makes BMW so beloved. For those who have the opportunity to drive or own a BMW 2800 CS, it is a unique opportunity to bring a piece of BMW heritage into your home. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
