Motodrome offer for sale this very sharp example one of our favourite 1980’s sports coupes – a 1986 BMW 635 CSi (E24) Automatic, finished in Polaris Silver Metallic with full blue leather trim
This one has the usual mid-period E24 spec – fitted with full leather, switchable automatic gearbox, ABS, BMW sports seats, electric sunroof/windows/mirrors, central locking, trip computer, headlamp wash/wipe, front fogs, and rear spoiler.
Lattice alloys shod with a matching set of Vredestein tyres, and a Powerflow stainless exhaust system which makes the straight-6 sound lovely
The 87-on Highline models introduced more kit, including electric front seats, leather dashtop, headlining, and door tops, and bigger impact bumpers. Personally, I prefer the pre-highline cars such as this one, as the styling with the chrome bumpers is unadulterated, and pretty much as Paul Bracq penned it in the late 1970’s, and without a doubt the E24 is one of the finest designs ever to come out of BMW.
It’s the driving experience that counts with these, and the Highline models, being heavier, don’t deliver that quite as well in my experience. And a leather headlining isn’t going to make one drive any better.
Body, paint, chrome, and interior are all really rather good on this one in my opinion.
Odometer reading 127000 miles. The M30B34 engines are capable of starship mileages – my last daily driver had covered 215000 miles when I sold it and it was still running like a train. This one? Just about run in.
History wise, we have the original dealer pack inc service book. Originally supplied by Hexagon of Highgate, there are 19 stamps therein.
We also have a good selection of bils etc back to 1989, and it seems from the history that new front wings were fitted in 1998, and a new head gasket (and all top end gaskets) at 113000m
It comes with MOT to November 2026 (no advisories) and 6 months warranty on sale.
