Exterior
Finished in timeless Dolphin Grey with factory Shadowline trim this 635 Highline really looks the part. As one of the final iterations of the “shark-nosed” E24 the car is equipped with the later style body-coloured bumpers giving a sleeker look over earlier chrome bumper models. The condition of the paintwork is very good indeed with a deep and uniform lustre to report across every panel. In line with the car’s age and mileage there are a few minor stone chips and discreetly touched-in marks but little else to detract from the overall highly impressive finish. Filling the arches are genuine BBS 17-inch two-piece wheels, all in excellent condition with a perfect shine to the polished rims.

Interior
The lavish Highline interior does not disappoint. Hand-stitched Nappa leather adorns not only the seats but also the door cards, center console, glovebox lid, dashboard, door pillars, headlining, and sun visors. The deeply bolstered sports seats are in particularly good order and the leather remains feeling soft and supple. The car is nicely spec’d with cruise control, electric windows front and rear, an electric sunroof, a rear window sunblind, fully electric seats, and an M Tech I steering wheel in fine condition. All in all, a very smart interior that still includes the original BMW fire extinguisher in the passenger footwell, the only notable upgrade over standard being a later style CD player.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine bay is very well preserved and looks in fantastic mileage-defying condition with no damage or signs of previous poor repair. The last service was carried out less than 400 miles ago in May 2023, and more recently the car benefits from a new brake master cylinder, ABS unit, and a new starter motor. Out on the road she goes very well indeed and certainly draws many admiring glances.

About BMW
ChatGPT
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.
