BMW 635 CSI 3.2 Liter 6 1983
General description :
IMPORTED EURO VERSION IN GREAT CONDITION! CLEAN, VERY WELL SERVICED, FUN DRIVER!
Considering the illustrious reputation of the BMW, it's easily assumed that the German manufacturer gained and kept their foothold in the United States by having always sent over only the best examples of their work. But that's not the case. This rare 1983 BMW 635CSI presents a chance to own the vastly superior European version of the timeless 6-series. Having received the best of care, as well as a whole assortment of fresh parts, it's more than ready to provide the promise of Bavarian classic motoring coolness as you embark on its next chapter of driving adventures.
With its low profile and wide stance, this 635 looks refined, but plenty capable. Its dolphin gray paint complements its conformation and is in fine form, shining from every angle. It cuts a great appearance and the bumpers both front and back remain unblemished and fresh, as does the body trim throughout. As you look from the front, you can see the slotted appearance of the air dam - a feature that differentiates it from its U.S.-bound counterparts. A new set of hood shocks have been installed and the hood raises and lowers with a "like new" smoothness. The doors and trunk all sit flush, have uniform gaps and open and close with no issues at all. Even the smaller details have been looked after, as the front grille retains its original deep black hue, and the signature BMW propellers in both front and rear stand out from the gray that surrounds them. Even that low-slung, slotted air dam in front bears no discernible scuffs or rock chips.
Open the door to have a look inside and one of the first things you're likely to notice are the pristine BMW Recaro seats up front. Taking the place of the more commonly encountered Sport Seats, they're just one of the many features found in this black leather interior. Throughout, you'll see a very lightly used appearance that belies this car's nearly 35 years in service, the combined result of excellent care with its unusually low 120,000 actual miles. Among some of the custom touches that have been added are the M Series steering wheel, a custom visor that also houses a built-in Homelink garage door opener and a set of near new velour floor mats. The Blauplunkt AM/FM/CD system situated front and center not only has a period-correct appearance, but also blue tooth compatibility, allowing you to stream your music library while enjoying the driving experience this special car will provide. With a steering column that not only tilts, but telescopes, you can find that perfect driving position. Power windows and an electric sunroof in perfect operating condition are a real plus.
Most car enthusiasts know that even to this day there continue to be differences in power output between import models remaining home vs. those shipped to the States, but when it came to the 6 series, that disparity was fairly marked, with the European version 3.2 liter engine housed in this car retaining a lopsided edge - about 40hp worth!! Makes you glad it made the trip over! Mated to a close ratio 5 speed manual transmission also only found in the European version, it's part of what goes into making this 635 a true driver's car. A good deal of effort has been made to insure it remains that way, as both the 4 wheel anti-lock disc brake system and cooling system have been replaced, as have the battery, fuel pump and engine hoses. For continued reliability, the fuel injectors were removed and cleaned and a set of new, upgraded upper control arms were installed. The set of rare AC Schnitzer 16" wheels are in impeccable condition and complete the look of this fine vehicle.

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
