Bmw's six-seater (E24) was ahead of its time: even at its presentation at the Geneva Motor Show in 1976, the coupé impressed not only with its elegance, but also with the multitude of perfectly modeled detail solutions, which were visually and technically hardly to be found in this form in any competitor. BMW chief designer Paul Bracq ensured a successful exterior design with typical BMW identification features: Among other things, the classic BMW face is still formative today. In the interior, too, he further refined the design element of the driver-oriented cockpit introduced in the first BMW 5 Series (E12): this feature has also been retained for decades in all BMW production models.

The BMW 635 CSi of the E24 series, which was released for auction in this auction, dates from 1985. Originally delivered in Italy, this BMW was imported to Germany with the FIN WBAEC710209402678 over the years. The enclosed history of the car shows that a total of 4 owners were allowed to call this 635 CSi their own. 3 vehicle keys are still available for this car, the E24 already has an H-approval and the TÜV will be done according to the statements of the seller before the handover to the future owner. Also worth mentioning are the available matching numbers.

On the exterior, this 635 CSi convinces with its well-preserved condition: According to the seller, there are a few slight traces of use on the paint in "polar ice cream metallic", but on the whole the body of the six-seater BMW presents itself in good shape. In the possession of the last Italian owner, a renewal of the exterior paint has already taken place, otherwise the current owner is not aware of any repainting. The seller excludes an accident in its holding period.

The further visual appearance of the BMW is ensured by original light-alloy wheels, which can be found in good condition and on which so-called TRX tyres are mounted. According to the seller, the tires still have about 8mm tread depth, the condition of the brakes is the current holder of the E24 as good. Defects in the area of the chassis are apparently non-existent.

So-called "Buffalo leather" in the colour anthracite can be found in the extremely well-kept interior of this 635 CSi: seats, door panels, dashboard and footwell carpet show no damage. Even otherwise, the interior of the E24 shows neither missing parts nor signs of wear. On board the six-seater coupé, the following equipment features are to be listed: power steering, central locking, 4 electric windows, air conditioning, ABS, electric seat adjustment with memory, 3-spoke sports steering wheel, theft warning system, on-board computer and a Blaupunkt cassette radio.

92,280 kilometers can be read from the speedometer of the 635 CSi: The total mileage of the E24 can be traced through a partially maintained checkbook as well as various existing documents such as invoices and former TÜV receipts. All instruments have a problem-free function.

In the bow of this six-seater is a 3.5-liter in-line six-cylinder, which provides a power output of 218 hp. The power of the engine is brought to the road via the rear wheels by means of a 5-speed sports transmission – in which the 1st gear sits on the left rear. According to the seller, all service and maintenance work has been carried out and the last service took place in May 2022.

Without negative findings, the obviously cleanly preserved underbody condition of the BMW 6 Series presents itself. In addition to the impressive six-cylinder sound and the high revving pleasure of the engine, this BMW also impresses with its sporty attitude, which is additionally underlined by the existing 5-speed sports transmission. Whether for long journeys or short country road trips: This 635 CSi provides plenty of enjoyment here and there.
