EXTERIOR
The unmistakable and elegant lines of the legendary BMW 635CSi are simply stunning and this beautiful example is finished in factory optional Graphite Metallic, (Code 087). The paintwork boasts a beautiful gleaming uniform finish and the factory panels are straight with linear gaps. Incredibly low miles, optimal storage conditions within prestige car collections and pampered upkeep have preserved this example in optimum condition. There are some very light frontal stone chips, a miniscule ding to the nearside front wing and a tiny repaired chip to the screen which do not detract from the amazing condition. All exterior trim, glass and lights remain in excellent order and the extensive chrome brightwork has a glorious mirror finish. The underside and wheel arch apertures are factory finish and very clean. The epitome of premium automotive engineering and one for the BMW connoisseur.
INTERIOR

All incorporated switches and functions are intact and operate as they should including the check control panel. The original and fully working Blaupunkt Paris Stereo finishes the retro 80’s experience! The boot area is pristine and the tool kit complete. This interior is wonderfully preserved.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The engine bay is an absolute delight in its incredible detailed presentation with all factory plates, stickers and bulkhead stamping as well as the bonnet underside label. The factory optional automatic transmission delivers precise and timely changes up and down the range and compliments the powerplant perfectly. The ultimate grand tourer driving experience.
