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.
