1979 633CSI, 4-SPEED, 30,600 ORIGINAL MILES THE ICONIC STYLING AND OVERALL GOOD LOOKS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE TRULY TIMELESS. THIS CLASSIC BMW “SHARK NOSE” LOOK HAS INFLUENCED AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN SINCE THIS CAR’S CREATION. THE COLOR OF THIS BMW IS A RICH DEEP BLUE CALLED "ARTIC BLUE METALLIC". I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN THE EARLY 1990’S FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. HE WAS A BMW ENTHUSIASTE WHO HAD PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE HE HAD THE ENGINE BALANCED AND BLUE-PRINTED, AND HAD THE THERMAL REACTOR (THE THERMAL REACTOR WAS AN EARLY EMMISSIONS CONTROL DEVICE—USED BACK IN1979) REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH PORCELAINIZED STAHL HEADERS. THE CAR HAS HAD ALL FULLY SYNTHETIC REDLINE FLUIDS SINCE NEW, AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. THE CAR COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL “HONEYCOMB” STYLE BBS WHEELS AND TIRES, IN ADDITION TO THE NEW YOKOHAMA 15" TIRES AND WHEELS THAT ARE SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. IT HAS SEVERAL BOXES OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS, IN ADDITION TO A COMPLETE ORIGINAL FACTORY MANUAL. THE ORIGINAL TOOLS ARE IN THE FACTORY TOOL CASE IN THE TRUNK, EVERYTHING WORKS, AND ITEMS THAT NORMALLY FAIL OVER TIME ON OLDER CARS (FUEL LINES & HOSES FOR EXAMPLE) HAVE BEEN REGULARLY REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN REGISTERED, THE MECHANICALS ARE BUTTER-SMOOTH AND THE CAR NEEDS NOTHING. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT BUILD CARS LIKE THIS ANY MORE. THE CAR COMES EQUIPED WITH BMW'S LEGENDARY SOLID ALUMINUM 5-MPH BUMPERS, AND THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS TOTALLY MINT. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME AND SMOOTH. IN FACT, WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES ON THIS ENGINE, IT IS VERY NEARLY NEW. BY THE WAY, AS AN "ANTIQUE", THE YEARLY COST TO INSURE THIS VEHICLE IS LESS THAN $100. MY NAME IS DAVID, AND MY PHONE # IS: 860-567-3600. PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, OR TO REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR PHOTOS. PLEASE NOTE: A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS HAVE INQUIRED AS TO EXACTLY WHAT THE THERMAL REACTOR WAS, AND WHY IT WAS REMOVED. SO HERE IS THE EXPLANATION: THE THERMAL REACTOR WAS AN EARLY EMMISSIONS CONTROL DEVICE THAT ESSENTIALLY ROBBED ENGINE POWER AND REDUCED ENGINE LIFE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS AN ENGINEER, AND BECAUSE HE WAS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES, HE HAD THE THERMAL REACTOR REMOVED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, AND REPLACED WITH THE PORCELAINIZED STAHL HEADERS. THE CAR ACTUALLY HAD SUPERIOR EMMISSIONS TESTS AFTER THE THERMAL REACTOR WAS REMOVED WHEN COMPARED TO THE FACTORY BASELINE TEST BEFORE REMOVAL. THE USE OF THESE THERMAL REACTORS IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT 1979 633CSI CARS ARE ESPECIALLY RARE.
