1970 BMW 2800 CS - E9 Chassis
Engine: 3.5L turbocharged I6 @ 450rwhp
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Title: Clean CA, in hand
VIN: 2280211
Location: San Diego, CA
(Note: I'm helping a friend sell this but I've personally seen the car in San Diego and this thing is a beast. Solid power delivery, body is in amazing shape and the cage design eliminates all the flex these cars normally have yet it somehow rides better than my E39 ��.)
It goes without saying this is a one of a kind BMW E9. Restoration alone took more than one year. If you price out a duplication of this car you will find the total is significantly higher than my the price. This car has been well cared for and I know I’ll regret this the minute it drives away but I simply need to free up capital for a business expansion.
Rust is a serious issue for all E9s but this one is solid. All suspension points including shock mounts are 100% rust free. When the car was restored the passenger front floor pan was the only area needing repair and it was simply removed and replaced with a new panel. The strut towers (a common rot point) are in good shape as shown in the pictures. The only rust worth mentioning is minor bubbles on the underside cowl area of the hood (see pictures).

I’m asking $65,000 or best offer, cash or cashiers check only. I will gladly take any prospective buyers for a ride but I do require proof of sufficient funds before letting anyone drive this car due to the value and rarity. Out of state buyers will be responsible for transport but I can recommend a broker should the need arise.
Feel free to PM me with any questions or to schedule a showing.
Thanks for looking!
