BMW 635 CSi with one owner and only 88,000 km for sale.
The BMW E24 6-Series is one of the most defining grand tourers of the late 20th century, offering effortless Autobahn cruising capabilities with sharp, driver-focused dynamics. Produced from 1976 to 1989, it captured enthusiasts worldwide with its pillarless greenhouse design and aggressive styling. While later models evolved into heavier, luxury-oriented cruisers, the early-to-mid 1980s European versions truly embody the pure, lightweight essence of the "Sharknose."
This 1983 German-spec 635CSi represents the pinnacle of that era, combining the most desirable mechanical options with exceptional preservation. It has had just one owner since new, with a full original service book. The car features Recaro sport seats and a dogleg 5-speed manual transmission.
Exterior: The car is finished in Graphite Metallic, a timeless and iconic color. Its aggressive "sharknose" front fascia and distinctive 6-Series silhouette make it a striking vehicle. The body is highly original, meticulously well-kept, and accident-free, with no body filler or corrosion. The paintwork is beautiful, and all panels align perfectly. The European chrome wrap-around bumpers are in excellent condition, and the car sits on its original 390mm TRX "bottlecap" wheels, fitted with new, historically accurate Michelin TRX tires.
Interior: Inside, the interior continues to impress. The factory Recaro sport seats are rare and highly sought after. The warm brownish leather remains soft and supple, with the original seat foam feeling firm and supportive. The dashboard is mint condition with no cracks, complemented by nice carpets, a clean original headliner, electric windows front and rear, and a factory electric sunroof.
Engine and Mechanics: Powered by the legendary high-compression 218 hp M30 inline-six engine, this German-spec model is free of catalytic converters. It features a factory-ordered close-ratio 5-speed "Dogleg" manual gearbox, a highly desirable option that enhances driving dynamics. The M30 engine is robust and easy to maintain, with traditional mechanically adjustable valves. The car drives with the tight feel of a low-mileage survivor and has recently undergone a comprehensive service, including a fresh valve adjustment and a new exhaust system.
History and Documentation: This BMW 635CSi has a remarkable history, having had only one owner from new. It was sold new in Kiel, Germany, and remains a highly original, well-preserved example of this iconic model.
