1985 BMW E24 M635CSI
Vendor supplied images
Highlights
- Appealing black over ivory colour scheme
- Rare and sought-after manual gearbox car
- Well maintained with recent vendor health check
- Standard and very original car
The Appeal
This handsome E25 M635 shows just why these cars are so beloved of collectors. The black paintwork neatly understates the shark-nosed Paul Bracq styling and the potency implied by those BBS rims and M-Sport badges.
This car is pleasingly factory standard - right down to the BMW Bavaria sound system - and equipped with the rare and sought-after 5spd manual gearbox. That enables the driver to fully exploit the sweet-revving 285bhp 3.5litre engine that makes the M635CSI such a highly regarded road rocket.
The photographs indicate a car that has been cared for, showing few signs of wear inside and out. The vendor has undertaken an extensive health check and reports the car is fault-free and ready to enjoy.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
