This BMW 2800 CS is a useable example of the marque’s ‘New Class’ era of design, with a desirable factory specification, and a remarkably rare right-hand drive layout. Under the bonnet is a 2.8-litre ‘M30’ straight-six fed by twin carburettors and producing around 168bhp, which is sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Just 1,949 versions of this model were produced worldwide between 1969 and 1971. This example is reported to have had just four owners, and has been with its current keeper for 10 years. The odometer indicates 22,302 miles; however, it is believed that the odometer has rolled over once before, so the assumed correct total would be 122,302 miles. The 2800 CS was styled by Wilhelm Hofmeister, and as such is one of the earliest cars to feature the now-famous ‘Hofmeister kink’ around the rear quarter windows. Its coachbuilt bodywork was outsourced to the renowned Karmann Karosserie. This example is presented in Agave green over a tan leatherette and beige cloth-trimmed interior, with brown carpets, a black dashboard and centre console, and elegant wood trims on the dashboard. It rides on a set of 14-inch alloy wheels with polished hubcaps, shod in Bob Jane Australian All Rounder tyres. The car’s original engine fan is noted to have been upgraded from five fins to 11. It is accompanied by its original owner’s manuals, the tool kit, and a selection of maintenance invoices which document maintenance spend since 2018. Please refer to photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there are some stone chips and there is also minor clear coat peel in three small areas. Inside there are three spots with very minor cracks present on the interior plastics, but overall the interior is immaculate and has been kept original, even the original leather steering wheel is in as-new condition. The seller notes that there is no cigarette lighter, and that the window electrics do not work. The car’s last inspection of roadworthiness was conducted in October 2022, during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. This 2800 CS’ most recent maintenance was carried out in March 2023 at an indicated 20,471 miles by Northern Modern and Classic. The work comprised of carburettor and ignition system overhaul, as well as an overhaul of the fan clutch and cooling system, and fitment of new valve gaskets. Prior to this, in December 2022 it was fitted with replacement intake manifolds, spark plugs, and coolant reservoir tank, the radiator was repaired, and the fuel system cleaned, while in November 2022 it was fitted with a new starter motor. The seller notes that during their ownership the front and rear shock absorbers, front suspension struts, tie rod assembly, rear ball joints, and the brake lines, brake master, slave and booster units were all replaced. This BMW 2800 CS is a stylish classic cruiser, finished in a particularly appealing colour scheme. This example has evidently been cared for by its owner, and while it may benefit from an engine oil and filter change, it will no doubt make a fine companion for car show visits and weekend drives, though it would also make a fine addition to any collection of lesser-seen BMWs.
