1986 BMW 635CSI AUTO

The BMW E24 was the first six series coupe produced by the German manufacturer. Because of its beautiful styling it was referred to as the 'Bavarian Ferrari'. Production of the 630CS and the 633CSI started in March 1996 at the Karmann works but production was soon moved in-house to BMW. In 1979 the 628CSI was introduced with fuel injection and marked the end of any carburetted cars in the range. However it was not until 1982 that the 635CSI really came of age with an improved chassis, improved styling to the exterior and cabin. The engine was now a smaller bored and longer stroked displacement of 3430cc. The flagship was the BMW Motorsport inspired M6, but the sporting pedigree for the BMW E24 had been established in the Seventies with BMW 635CSI touring cars being the mainstay of most of the European grids.

First registered on 23rd May 1986 this BMW 635CSI Auto has covered just 79,000 miles and still wears its desirable first registration number of C111DYU. The car was originally supplied by Coopers West London and registered to the first owners company but was subsequently transferred into his own name in March 1990 - so it's effectively a rare one owner vehicle. It looks magnificent in its original black livery with burgundy leather seats (front are electric) and the factory fitted alloy wheels. The engine bay is extremely clean with no leaks and the factory stickers are still in situ too. It comes with its original two keys and BMW owners wallet, containing the Owner Manual, Blaupunkt Radio Instructions, Emergency Service Policy Booklet and BMW European Dealer Directory. The original front and rear deep pile wool over mats are also included. The car has a full BMW main and specialist dealer service history from new along with many invoices and MOT's evidencing a very pampered life. There is a continuous run of MOT certificates on file from 1991 up to May 2000 - when the vehicle was SORN'd at 77,000 miles. The bodywork is in excellent condition and shows no evidence of rust whilst the car itself runs without fault having been recently re-commissioned including the fitment of a new fuel pump and HT leads. The last MOT was carried out in June 2013 with no advisories. An extremely good example of what is becoming a very sought after, practical and collectible model.
