"factory fitted sunroof" seems interesting.

It begs the question what factory and when!
Aside from the roof, it looks very nice and seems to be fairly priced. But I'd want to either fill that hole or install a correct sliding roof to live with it.
The slushbox is fine by me, and though they didn't build a lot of them I always considered the 2500 lower on the E9 list. Oil embargo specials.
Would make a great commuter or daily driver, didn't these get something like 25 mpg?

Nice looking if it is low rust - 51k euros - good price.
Considering the collection of German cars you now drive,this humble 2.5 would probably put you asleep during those infrequent visits to the gas station.....but the slushbox would be great in our south Florida stop & go traffic.
Does this mean I can start calling the aftermarket sunroof in my car "factory fitted" too?
Only if it doesn't leak....
Some questions are better not asked lest you don't like the answer.
But seriously, I'm not sure. I've washed it and not seen any leaks. Driving in a downpour or leaving it out in the rain all day could be a completely different story.
the first photo appears to make the sun roof open sideways, from right to left as you face the car.
In that case I think it would be more appropriate to call it a trap door. Maybe it has factory fitted ejector seats too.
It is actually sold by a classic car dealer here in the Netherlands:

Anybody know how you raise and lower the rear windows?
The rear windows are fixed and can’t be lowered.
The 2.5 CS in its basic form had fixed rear windows, manual front windows, no power steering, 4 spd, velour (no leather) interior, no AC etc…. all the ‘missing extras’ could be ordered at additional cost.
The only other E9’s with fixed rear windows were the light weight CSL’s.
That explains it! I knew about the CSL windows, but I didn't realize that there was a lower priced (and powered) model that also had fixed rear windows.
