Location: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
Price $8,500 USD, as is.
Description:
BMW 2800CS coupe, manufactured on May 26th, 1970 and delivered on June 3rd, 1970 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City.
Odometer reads: 87,540 miles
Color: Tundra metallic paint code 068, tan leather interior. Confirmed with BMW Archives that this was the original paint color, it must have been repainted at some point because it hasn't dulled since I've had it.
Engine: 6 cylinder
Transmission: 4 speed manual
Modifications: 40DCOE triple Webers carburetors, interior seats, door cards & steering wheel are not original, spaghetti seatbelts added.
Going to be direct and not try to sugar coat anything and can follow up with any specific questions.
Details: (the not-so-great first)
There's a lot here and I think it would be a great place to start for the price for anyone interested.
I haven't posted this car for sale elsewhere because I was hoping an active member here who is passionate about E9 coupes might be interested, as I am in these cars.

Details: (the not-so-great first)
- The car does not run and needs new battery to start it
- It's sat for at least three years
- Rear drum brakes are seized - when I last started the car a few years ago, the rear drum brakes were seized and I didn't do anything advanced to try to release them. The car is parked in our carport at a slight incline that required the parking brake on.
- Rubber / plastic accelerator pedal connection point broke
- Three flat tires
- The interior needs sorting (you'll see from photos). I have many under-dash components
- Fairly minimal rust - I've taken photos of where I've found rust and I don't believe it to be significant and not in the typically DOA places. Shock towers are good, floor pans are good, rocker panels have surface rust, wheel wells have minimal rust, some rust around the top of the tail lights. There is one spot behind the passenger side front wheel that has had bubbles behind paint since I bought it but never spread or popped through.
- Engine - when last run, was super strong
- Headliner is good and in place
- Paint looks good if you like Tundra metallic green.
