• Significantly improved since entering the current ownership in 2019 (glass out respray, cylinder head overhaul, refurbished seats etc)

Successor to the race-proven (E9) 3.0CS/CSi high-performance 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 Porsche 928 and 5the Jaguar XJ-S, 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, the model boasted real road presence, an impression supported by the various versions of BMW's mighty M30, straight-six engine fitted throughout the range. Created by BMW's Motorsport Division, the flagship M635 CSi debuted at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. Sharing its 3453cc DOHC powerplant, with the mighty M1 supercar, it also benefited from a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox, limited-slip differential, improved suspension and heavy-duty disc brakes. With some 286bhp and 262lbft on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and 158mph. Only in production for six years, a mere 5,855 are thought to have been made (with RHD assembly believed to be just 524 cars).

Finished in Diamond Black Metallic with Silver Nappa leather upholstery, this particular example boasts an electric sunroof, correct 3-spoke steering wheel, period perfect Blaupunkt Bologna radio cassette player, heated front seats, electric windows, air-conditioning and headlamp wash-wipe. First registered on 1st November 1988, the BMW entered the current (sixth) ownership thirty-one years later, although, three of its previous keepers are understood to have been the same person at different companies / addresses. An engineer by profession, the seller has previously treated the M635 CSi to a glass out respray c.2019, with a new front wing and BMW nose cone, refurbished alloys, new tyres, rejuvenated seats and new shock absorbers (x4). The cylinder head has been overhauled with a new timing chain, valves and valve springs etc, while a recent service encompassed new brake pads, a new radiator, an air-conditioning radiator, viscous fan coupling, rear anti-roll bar links, front anti-roll bar bushes, front track rods and bottom arms, plug leads, ignition coil, oils and fluids and a new battery. The Coupe has also been ceramic coated and had its underside and cavities protected with Dinitrol (a certificate is on file). Entered from a private collection and kept garaged when not in use, ‘F475 JUE’ ran well during our recent photography session. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, replacement service book, brochure and sundry other paperwork.
