BMW 2800 Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 32 BMW 2800s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 3 (10.3%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. In all, the BMW 2800 is rarer than 70% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the 2800
The BMW E9 is a range of coupés produced by German automaker BMW from 1968 to 1975. Initially released as the 2800 CS model, the E9 was based on the BMW 2000 C / 2000 CS four-cylinder coupés, which were enlarged to fit the BMW M30 six-cylinder engine. The E9’s bodywork was built by Karmann. As a racing car, the E9 was very successful in the European Touring Car Championship and the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, especially the 3.0 CSL homologation model. The E9 range was replaced by the E24 6 Series.
