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).
This 635 CSi was manufactured in 1988 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom. Fitted with the 3430cc straight-six engine mated to the automatic transmission. Finished in the attractive colour combination of Dolphine Grey paintwork with Grey full-leather interior upholstery with electric Recaro sports seats. ‘F600 NAN’ has covered a total of 135,419 miles from new (at time of consignment), although only c.10,000 of those miles have been across the last fourteen years. Entering current ownership in 2014, the BMW has had ten former keepers. Last serviced at approximately 134,000 miles, the BMW has further benefitted from approximately £1,260 expenditure at Moorland Classic Cars in June 2021 and is offered with current V5C, a collection of invoices and past MOTs and an MOT certificate until April 2022.
