A rare thoroughbred indeed, being one of just 181 produced.

Towards the end of the E24's life, BMW introduced a limited edition (factory code Package 129) for the UK market. Based on the 635 Highline they were known as the 635CSi Motorsport Edition and equipped with most of the visible performance features of the M635. The comprehensive specification included Shadowline exterior trim, electric sunroof, rear-seat head restraints, tri-colour M-sport labels, graduated tinted screen, memory electric seats, air conditioning, electric mirrors, headlight wipers, rear spoiler, leather-trimmed steering wheel, and a rear window blind. The interior includes hand-stitched Nappa leather on the seats, door panels, centre console, glove box, roof lining, sun visors, door pillars, upper door trim, and dashboard.

The 'Motorsport' cars were only available in three colours and this particular example is one of 60 finished in Misano Red with a Black Nappa Hide Interior. With only four owners from new and a recorded mileage of just 25,000, this particular Motorsport Edition 635 is quite simply outstanding and has to be one of, if not ‘the’ best example on the market today.
The condition throughout is exceptional, with all factory manuals present, tools as they should be, engine bay detailed etc. The E24 epitomised style and mechanical prowess when they arrived on the motoring scene in 1976 and these beautiful coupes will always stand the test of time with the ability to ‘wow’ anywhere. Values of the rare Motorsport Edition have continued to firm over recent years and we see no reason why this would change, making this immaculate, low mileage example a rather sensible investment.
