1981 BMW 635 CSI
Serial number WBAEC3104B5592129 Future Collector 143250 km French title collector Direct competitor of the Porsche 928, Jaguar XJS and Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC, the BMW 635 CSI had a nice and long career from 1978 to 1989. Presented in Geneva in 1976, it immediately became the flagship of the Bavarian brand. Designed by Paul Bracq, its drawing is recognizable between thousand with its shark nose and the fold of Hofmeister. With its resolutely aggressive lines and sloping roof, the shark was ready to swallow any prey on its favourite playground: the tarmac. On the engine side, it was the mythical in-line 6-cylinder engine that animated it, with its elasticity and unforgettable melody. It benefited from advanced technology for its time, notably the standard ABS. The car on offer is in beautiful condition and our test drive found no faults. Its Alpine «touches» (rims and gear knob) smell of the 80’s to our great pleasure. Apart from that and the chrome wheel arches, it is in original configuration. It is equipped with the short reverse gearbox, original option. The quality and durability of the materials, both the plastic furniture and the upholstery, are to be noted. Furthermore, the ergonomics of the controls still give lessons to many vehicles today with a dashboard turned towards the driver, simple and readable, and the door panels perfectly in line with the layout. To add to the pleasure, the two rear seats invite you to share a wild ride.
