History
The 2800 CS opened the E9 coupe series in 1968. It used the M30 six-cylinder engine in its first 2.8-litre form, which the page puts at 170 hp, and the coupe was lighter than the E120 it followed. It stayed in the range until 1971, when BMW replaced it with the 3.0 CS and the fuel-injected 3.0 CSi.
