This is a 3 three day auction with a reserve. Up for auction is my 1985 BMW 635CSi Automatic. In 1985 there were 2,268 automatics sold in the USA. The vehicle AUTO CHECK gave it a score of 51 out of a high score of 62. No accidents and paint is original>>>>>>>>> A little history of the 1985 BMW CSi >>> 1985-87: 635CSi, L6 The 1985 model year marked the end of Bosch's teeth-cutting stage and the beginning of Motronic engine management control as we know it today. Motronic version 1.0 adaptive offered variable operating parameters according to sensor inputs and provided the basis for the future of performance tuning--the eprom upgrade. But this didn't happen overnight. Not until the early 1990s did companies and luminaries such as AutoThority and Jim Conforti totally unravel BMW's code and rewrite it for more performance-oriented use. Meanwhile, though, BMW finally had the beginnings of a power increase it so desperately needed in the U.S. Engine displacement was finally increased to rest-of-the-world spec at 3430cc (3.5L), and the U.S. E24 finally became the 635CSi. Power was now up to 182 bhp at 5400 rpm and 214 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, the latter eclipsing the European-spec 633CSi. However, the U.S. engine was still hampered by a low, 8.0:1 compression ratio and exhaust restrictions, meaning it was still grossly underpowered by European standards, where the 10:1 compression, non-catalyst 635CSi cranked out 218 bhp at 5200 rpm and 228 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. The low compression ratio was mandated by low-octane gasoline and the inability of early Motronics to deal with the combination of high compression and exhaust restriction in the absence of knock sensors. Later, in the 1990s, the 1985-on U.S.-spec 635CSi would respond dramatically to a simple ECU chip upgrade from either of the aforementioned suppliers. Today, a Conforti chip remains the single best engine power upgrade for the U.S.-spec 635CSi. The car has been maintenance by BMW Stores and is up to date. With the low miles, the car must have sat around in a garage for long periods. The previous owner, went well beyond standard maintenance and got a little carried away with preventive maintenance. The car drives great!!!!! This is truly a highway cruiser and power really kicks in at 50 + mph. The spare tire has been used, antenna is power and it works, almost all the tools are there and the owners manuals are included. No paint fade, the paint is original, must have been garage kept and waxed by a professional for sure. Even the paint in the door jams, under the hood and trunk is original. Again this a 3 day auction, $500 due at close of auction and remainder due three >>3>> after close of auction. If the car is to be exported, Jacksonville, FL is a major port with connections thru out the World. GOOD LUCK
