Vehicle Detail
The BMW 635CSI at $45,000+, was pretty much the most expensive car BMW sold in 1986. It included their very best in performance and technology. This E24 is extremely original and unmolested. It is well documented, including service invoices and records and the original bill of sale. This is a must for a true collector car as this is destined to be. The exterior is in nice condition with only minor body imperfections including a ding in the hood and slight crease by the rear of the passenger door. I would cal the pait better paint better than average. This car includes the rare rubber, factory rear trunk spoiler. It currently has what I believe are Borbet wheels with nice BMW center caps. It also includes the 5 original factory wheels. The original spare rim with what looks to be the original un-used Michelin tire. The interior includes the rare optional Recaro Sport power seats and rear sunshade The front seats include power adjustable leg bolsters and headrests. These are extremely comfortable and a great upgrade from the standard seats you see on most of these cars. They are in great condition with only a slight opening on the drivers outside bolster. The car includes a working rear shade which is great for keeping today's high output headlights from blinding you through your rear view mirror. The dash has some of the typical cracks as pictured. There is a vinyl cover that is available on ebay for around $100.00 that I understand is a perfect fit. The car comes with a rug cover to stop the sun from making this any worse. The rugs, panels and the rest of interior is very nice. The headliner, as with most of these cars is yellowed. The interior of the trunk is pristine and includes the original lid mounted tool kit with the original tools. The Blaupunkt AM / FM Cassette radio is original and actually sounds nice. This car came with a diagnostic on board computer that monitors lighting, coolant level and windshield washer level. It also has a service interval indicator that monitors engine functions to produce accurate recommendations, based on actual driving, for oil service and major inspections. Both of these computers function as designed. There is also an on board computer that monitors miledge, driving range, time and date, stop watch and outside temperature (warns of ice). This system works fine but the display is dull and needs to be replaced. These were used in the 7 series as well and are typically easy to find for sale on Ebay. Dash lighting has been upgraded from 3 to 5 watt bulbs. All other interior and exterior lighting, power antenna work fine. The engine is 3.4l and is powerful and runs great with no smoke or issues. These BMW in line 6 motors are considered " bullet proof". The automatic transmission is a 4 speed electronic ZF unit that includes the electronic sport and economy settings as well as a Limited Slip Differential. This transmission has been rebuilt at a cost of over $2000.00, in the last 200 miles and shifts like new. Between the previous owner and myself there has been a concerted effort to take care of any nagging issues that these cars have. Repairs and precautionary work done since 2008 include: Thrust arms Drop links Rear springs DME, fuel and other relays, blower transistors, upgraded water temperature sensors Flushed brake system Flushed coolant system Gas tank dropped and flushed out New rear gas lines New coil belts Heater Control Valve Ignition Wires, Plugs, Cap, Rotor Battery Dash Lite Bulbs Upgraded Brake pads and rotors LF Caliper Rebuilt Transmission (approx. 200 miles ago) Catalytic Converter Mount Repaired Wiper Blades All in all this is a very, very solid 6 series with all the typical areas of concern addressed. The only issues at this moment is the AC has leak. I have not had this checked but it worked very well before this isssue. The tires have good thread but are old and probably should be replaced. I intended to switch back to the original factory rims or I would have replaced these. You would be hard very hard pressed to find a better one with as much addressed as myself and the prior owner have addressed. I personally am into this car for over $8000.00 since I purchased it in June of 2008. I had no thoughts of selling it and wanted it to be mechanically perfect and reliable. In my opinion you could drive this car across the country without any issue. I have priced this car low for a quick sale. Buy this one with no regrets. Thanks and Happy Bidding!
