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 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).

Finished in the unusual and very handsome combination of Royal Blue with Dark Blue leather upholstery, chassis 8187492 was completed on December 6^th, 1986. Supplied new by BMW Park Lane Ltd to T. Tornquist Esq. and road registered as ‘D635 GJD’ on January 31st 1987, its impressive specification included a sunroof, air-conditioning, limited slip differential, electrically adjustable Sports front seats and alloy wheels. Purchased by Charles Fripp - the then owner of the renowned Jaguar XK specialist Twyford Moors - during 1999, the 635CSi was sold to one of his employees the following year who kept it until his death in 2021. Obviously much-loved, the four-seater was treated to a meticulous renovation from 2012 – 2018 which is understood to have included overhauls of the engine, automatic gearbox, back axle, brakes and suspension etc as well as a bodywork refurbishment and rejuvenated interior. Some five years later, the results still speak for themselves with the Coupe being quite possibly the nicest E24 we have encountered. Offered for sale with V5C registration document, original book pack, folder of parts receipts and MOT certificate.
