1981 BMW 635CSI E24

Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Low mileage 635 in desirable colour scheme 
  • Very well kept car inside and out 
  • APK to June 2024 
  • Believed to be one owner from new 
  • Great example of the Bracq-penned E24 

The Appeal 

The E24 was the sort of coupe only BMW could build. With its delicate Paul Bracq lines, spacious and luxurious four seater interior and a suite of superlative straight six engines, it was pretty much close to perfect. 
The 635CSI of 1978 served only to dial up the desirability. This 210bhp motor befitted the firm’s ‘ultimate drivers car’ claims while the front and rear spoilers helped improve the handling.  
First registered in the Netherlands in August 1981 and believed with the original owner since new, this low mileage 635CSI is in superb condition with an attractive specification. These cars are very usable so perfect for daily driving or saved for weekends and this one comes with the added reassurance of a long APK certificate.  

History and Paperwork 

  • First registered in the Netherlands on 7th August 1981 
  • Appears to have remained with the same owner since new 
  • APK certification to 20th June 2024 
  • The 635CSI was available from July 1978 and differentiated by front and rear spoilers 

The Condition 

  • Smart silver metallic paintwork with complementary black leather interior 
  • Very well kept car with no visible corrosion or bodywork defects 
  • There are some very light signs of use across and inside the car but none detract 
  • Fitted with period correct and attractive 11 spoke Hartge 16in alloys in good order 
  • Fitted with quality Continental tyres showing good tread 
  • Front spoiler intact but rear spoiler appears to be missing or has been removed 
  • Missing rear boot badge but otherwise exterior fittings including chromework present well 
  • Cabin and boot area well preserved reflecting the low mileage 
  • Black leather seats front and rear appear barely use with little wear to oft-used surfaces 
  • Standard interior with the addition of a three spoke Momo wheel 
  • There are also two auxiliary gauges to centre console 
  • Alcantara dark grey headlining in good order with electric sunroof and no noticeable sagging 
  • One of the headlining interior lights appears to be missing, likely easily resolved 
  • Door cards in good order with complete, undamaged trim 
  • Non-matching but factory correct lattice-style spare wheel 
  • Boot floor and underside in good order with no reported issues 
  • The vendor advises us that the bonnet latch does not work

The Mechanics 

  • M90 3.5litre straight six single OHC engine developing 210bhp 
  • This motor was closely related to the M1 M88 engine 
  • Four speed automatic gearbox 
  • Strut brace fitted to engine bay 
  • We are advised that the vehicle is fitted with a Turbo charger
  • We are also advised that the brakes function but the pedal does not have much travel.
