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).

Manufactured in 1986 and supplied new to the United Kingdom in right-hand drive, this 635 CSi is thought to have been sold into London when new, remaining there for around a year before being exported to Spain (although never Spanish registered). Remaining there under the ownership of a few different family members, until 2017 when discovered by the vendor, the final ten years of this period are understood to have been spent residing under a pine tree. Brought back to the UK to be renovated over the course of four years, the vendor informs the 635 has been sympathetically restored including 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 BMW was fitted with the aftermarket wheels that it is pictured on, with a set of BBS TRX wheels included. Accompanied by the mostly complete tool kit, the 635 CSi is accompanied by a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2022 and a current V5C document.
