BMW 2800 CS - discreet elegance for sporty travel

May 20, 2012 — Bruno von Rotz 79

From 1968 to 1975, BMW built the E9 series, which consisted of the 2800 CS, 3.0 CS, 3.0 CSI, 3.0 CSL and 2.5 CS coupés. 30,546 units were produced and not only attracted covetous glances in the showrooms, but also many touring car victories in racing as hot CSL variants. This report goes into the history of the E9 series and describes driving impressions with the BMW 2800 CS, illustrated with many current and historical pictures.

BMW 3.0 CSL - rapid increase in value thanks to downforce

December 28, 2016 — Bruno von Rotz 78

Large front and rear spoilers were still very rarely fitted to production cars in Europe in the early 1970s, but in 1974 BMW fitted very eye-catching air deflectors straight out of the wind tunnel to the elegant BMW coupé of the E9 series. On the road, the wings provided more downforce, but in terms of value development, they provided a lot of lift, especially in recent years. This vehicle report tells the story of the Munich lightweight coupé and shows it in historical and current pictures.
