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 utilized 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 recognizable 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).
First registered on the 7th of May 1986, this original UK-specification right-hand drive BMW 635CSi is finished in a beautiful Polaris Silver with a stylish Dark Blue leather interior. Having been in the vendor’s ownership since October 2016 the car has recently been recommissioned after a few years in dry storage. Work was carried out on the engine and brake system along with the fitment of a custom-made exhaust system, invoices for which are kept on file. Having had only 8 previous keepers and with 126,500 recorded miles on the odometer, this car is said by the vendor to drive well and is considered by him to be in very good condition, especially after just having completed a substantial respray. Offered with a partial history file including invoices for recent works completed.
