1985 635csi 5-Speed Manual Black/Tan e24 170k miles This fun to drive car was my daily driver until I replaced it with a Fiat 500 for fuel economy reasons. It's been very reliable and I used it to commute about 50 miles a day. If I had the space to store it, I would keep this car. It is a blast to drive. I've owned a couple of other 6ers and the 5-speed really makes the car a lot more fun to drive than the automatic that's in most of them (other than the Ms). The body is in good shape, you can see there's a scrape/gouge on the rear quarter panel on the driver's side and the usual scrapes on the air dam. My research when I bought the car told me that it had been owned by two Beverly Hills surgeons. It has been a Los Angeles car for all of its life as far as I can tell. It was purchased in the South Bay (I have the window sticker somewhere). It has been well maintained, and as you can see below, I took care of a number of the wear items. It's a great car that needs to be loved and driven. Significant work done in the last two years:(1) New fan clutch.(2) New starter.(3) Set of Kumho Ecsta 4x tires.(4) New heater core.(5) Water pump / thermostat.(6) New cylinder head / gasket.(7) New timing chain guides.(8) New pitman arms (rear).(9) New heater core. Like any 28-year-old car (or person!) this car has some flaws. Issues that I know about:(1) Heater blower motor only blows on HIGH, it is quite noisy and probably needs to be replaced.(2) A/C was removed when I replaced the heater core; will include the A/C unit with the car.(3) Paint on trunk and roof is oxidizing.(4) Seats have the typical seatbelt wear pattern/hole in the leather and the passenger sear is very worn (I swapped with the driver's seat)(5) Not all of the seat adjustments work. Some other e24 and old-BMW specific facts:(1) The windows and sunroof all work.(2) Dash is in good shape.(3) Does not have the rear A/C or rear speaker pods.(4) Odometer works fine (no broken gears). Included with the car:(1) Replacement 635csi badge.(2) Bentley shop manual for same-era 5 series.(3) A/C blower unit The car is located in Santa Monica, CA. I am pretty busy, so I'm only interested in showing it to people who are really interested. I can take/post/send pictures of more specific aspects of the car if you have questions.On Jun-06-13 at 07:41:32 PDT, seller added the following information:Fellow eBayers: Please do not bid unless you have actually read the description and asked me any questions that you may have about the car.
