Bring a Trailer exclusive: 1970 BMW 2800CS

There's nothing like a little vintage kink courtesy of Herr Hofmeister to make Thursday a little brighter, particularly when it's blended with the low beltline and tall greenhouse of a gorgeous 1970 BMW 2800CS.

Our friends at Bring a Trailer got the lead on this Temecula, Calif.-based E9 loaded with upgrades to turn it in to what we'd imagine is a spectacular driver. Alpina-style 16-inch wheels? Check. Three-liter M30 powerplant? Check. Five-speed stick? You know it.

No, it's not original, but if you've always wanted a BMW CS that you could drive just about anywhere, all for the price of a new Chevrolet Sonic, Bring a Trailer has your ride.
