1981 BMW 635csi (Project Car)

Highlights

  • Imported from the USA three years ago
  • Bodywork, suspension and engine are original and in good running order
  • Recent high-quality leather retrim of front and back seats
  • Currently housed in a heated showroom

The Appeal

Introduced for the 1978 model year, the BMW 635CSi was the North American and Japanese variant of the much-loved E24. Robustly built, and arguably produced during a keystone period for the company, these angular Bracq designs are loaded with period character - married up to the much-respected M30 powerplant.
This 1981 BMW 635CSi presents a tantalising opportunity for any classic BMW enthusiast looking for their next project. Imported from the USA in 2020, the bodywork, suspension and engine are all reportedly in good solid order - offering a dedicated restorer the perfect base to start from.

The Condition

  • Bodywork is carrying surface rust and faded paint
  • Scuffs, scrapes and chips across the vehicle

  • We note some traces of moss to the rear bumper

  • Interior in fair order with some restoration required

The Mechanics

  • However, car is presented as a project and will need attention before hitting the road proper
