EXTERIOR
This UK-supplied M635 CSI presents beautifully in Polaris Metallic over black. The paintwork remains to a great standard all round with no off-colour panels, and she’s very straight along both sides. The polished brightwork is generally excellent and the rubbers are first-rate throughout with no damage from the sun. The original alloy wheels appear still appear in their factory finish, and they’re shod in recently fitted TRX tyres with plenty of tread remaining. One or two discreetly touched-in small marks evidence the car’s honesty but otherwise it’s a stunning example in superb mileage-defying condition. The underside is also notably tidy.
INTERIOR
The leather-trimmed Recaro seats are still remarkably supple with very little wear to note. Other commonly worn items such as the M Tech steering wheel and gear knob are also well preserved and again hint at only light use. There are no prominent marks on the centre console or switchgear, and everything works as it should. The original BMW overmats are all still present in the foot wells, and having always been protected the carpets are spotless. At the rear of the car the seats look as though they’ve never been sat in, and the boot area is immaculate.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Looking under the bonnet of this M635 is a real treat for any classic BMW enthusiast. The lauded 1M-derived M88 straight six presents well and reading through the extensive history file it’s evident that this one has always been maintained to a high standard. In line with the mileage of 130k the car has been treated to a comprehensive shakedown and overhaul in recent years, so mechanically it’s spot-on. The current owner has spent in excess of £24k on the car since 2022 with well-regarded marque specialists, Classic Bahnstormers. Such work included replacement of the timing chain and ancillary components, an overhaul of the cylinder head, and extensive underside work including to the body and suspension. This no-expense-spared approach has resulted in a 130k mile car that feels and drives as well as it would have done back in the eighties.
HISTORY FILE
First registered in June 1985 this rare UK-supplied M635 CSi is 1 of only 524 ever produced in right-hand drive. It’s accompanied by an excellent maintenance record stamped in the original service book with a thick raft of invoices to match. The car has had only 5 keepers since new and recently benefits from a cylinder head overhaul, preventative timing chain replacement, underside overhaul, suspension refresh, new TRX tyres all round, etc, etc. All this work has been carried out within the last 3k miles and there are invoices in the paperwork totalling more than £24k since 2022! With these major jobs now complete the lucky new owner can focus solely on driving and enjoying the car as intended.
