The BMW 2.5 CS is to be recognized by not having rear bumper overriders, the small toolset and no upholstery in the inside of the trunk. At the time we were very proud to have found such an original and non-restored E9. Now we're proud to offer it once again. A non-restored E9 is pretty much unobtainium - a 49.000 km, genuinely nice E9 is even better. The car started life in Belgium and found it's way into the Netherlands later on. The car currently has a clean Texas Title. The body of the car is exceptionally straight and doesnt show any signs of previous work. It was repainted years ago to a very high standard. The trim is very very beautiful as one can expect with 49.000 kilometers. The chrome around the windows is still shiny, the beltline trim is as new and so are the bumpers, grilles and front and rear lights. The car shows perfect panelgaps and very sharp bodylines.
The engine-bay of this Coupe looks beautiful and correct. It houses the matching numbers 2.5 Liter Inline six which runs excellent. It features original and non-repaired inner fenders with their factory mats. We’ve set up the carburators, set up the ignition and it (cold)starts, idles and runs excellent. The engine received a major-service from us. It really sounds like a low-mileage M30 - very smooth, turbine-like and silent. The 4-speed gearbox feels equally good and the differential is silent. The car has been upgraded with Bilstein shocks in the front and new shocks in the rear. The brakes were upgraded to 3.0 Liter ones with new ventilated rotors and pads. The car has a stainless steel exhaust system. The car sits on a set of 7x14" Alpina-style wheels with new tyres.
The interior is very original and non-restored. The seats show their original marine blue velours and sit excellent. Notice the chrome on the hinges and near the runners - excellent condition. Very straight doorpanels, original wood in great condition. A deep shine and reflection in the still trim and clean doorjambs. The carpet is clean and shows a new set of quality floormats. The headliner is crisp and white. The owner has upgraded this car with factory A/C. A E9 A/C center console was sourced and installed. It features a new Sanden compressor in a new custom mount, a new condensor and new Mishimoto fan. The system works perfectly, blows cold and takes less power from the engine.
The trunk of the car is completely original. Original grey panels, complete set of tools and jack, tool and spare present. The car drives beautiful and is very easy to drive. The engine runs excellent and sounds great. The 4-speed shifts easily, it corners great and brakes straight.

i might not be a bmw aficionado, because it is the first time i have heard that, so i am asking is it true that smaller engines actually run nicer, are more smooth and rev happy. ?:

Unrestored Gem
Following the 1973 Oil crisis BMW made 2.5 liter version of the Coupe between 1974 and 1976 - only 874 built. As BMW aficionados may know: the smaller engines actually run nicer, are more smooth and rev happy. This BMW 2.5 CS was sold via BMW Belgium NV SA in Kontich, Belgium and first registered on the 15th of May 1975. Delivered in timeless and classic 085 Chamonix over Marine blue velours. In 2019 we have discovered this car in the Netherlands, got it to Oldenzaal and it found a new home with a friend and client in Texas. Now, five years later the car is back available in Oldenzaal.The BMW 2.5 CS is to be recognized by not having rear bumper overriders, the small toolset and no upholstery in the inside of the trunk.
