Successor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high performance sports coupes, the 6-series was introduced in August 1976. More forgiving than its predecessors, it utilised a modified version of the (E12) 5-series saloon platform equipped with all-round independent suspension (coil and wishbone front, trailing-arm rear) and powerful disc brakes. A natural rival to the 928 and XJS, the four-seater 6-series proved more capacious than the Porsche and sportier than the Jaguar. Immediately recognisable thanks to its distinctive 'shark nose' frontal styling and thin pillared glasshouse it boasts real road presence. An impression backed up by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, SOHC straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Second only to the BMW Motorsport tuned M6 version, the 635CSi's 3430cc unit developed some 216bhp and 232lbft of torque (outputs that were reputedly sufficient to propel it from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and on to 135mph).

Supplied new to the UK and first road registered as ‘RVO 521’, this striking 635CSi is understood to have spent a year or so in London before emigrating to Spain. Apparently passed between various family members whilst there, the BMW had been left languishing under a pine tree for a decade by the time that the vendor acquired it during 2017. Brought back to the UK, the Coupe then spent the next four years undergoing a sympathetic restoration which reportedly included professional repainting, a comprehensive engine overhaul, renewed brakes, a purpose made exhaust system, and mechanical renewal wherever required. The interior was provided with a thorough cleaning and refresh. Now showing a recorded mileage of approximately 127,000 miles, the 635CSi currently rides on aftermarket alloys wheels but comes with a set of correct specification BBS TRX wheels should a new owner wish to reinstate them. Offered for sale with a mostly complete tool kit, MOT certificate valid until October 2023 and current V5C Registration Document.
