You should precise CS or CSI, they are different (not only number of holes difference).

Do you know that you will also need to modify fuel sender? The length of CS is different from CSI, so if you will use CS tank you will also need to use CS fuel sender, otherwise you will have wrong fuel level on instrument panel.
Bmw E9 tank for sale on eBay
from the seller....
This is not true, 2800 cs have a small capacity tank. The 3.0cs and csi tanks have the same capacity for those that are fitted from inside the car. Late model e9 tanks were bolted in from under the car and the tank capacity varied too. I have also checked the depth on both csi and cs tanks and they are the same.
I ended up having my CSi tank repaired in London, as adapting a CS tank turned out to be far more complicated than I had hoped. I can't remember exactly what the issues were, but I think from memory that I couldn't work out how I could replicate the arrangement of the 12 or so holes with threads where the sender screws into the tank. It's worth mentioning that the tanks generally corrode from outside, in the seam, due to water sitting in the boot / trunk. My repair worked out very well and only cost me about £50 I seem to remember.
