CLASSIC 1985 BMW E24-CHASSIS EUROPEAN VERSION 635CSi 5 SPEED SHARK NOSE COUPE!
1980 BMW 6-Series 635csi
THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owneris this rare modern classic 1985 BMW 635csi "SHARK"!
Finished in Bronzitbeige metallic over light tan, this genuine European version on the E24 chassis 6 series BMW is a unique find for the Bimmerphile.....just in time for end of summer holiday cruising! It features a recently rebuilt and very good running 3.5 liter inline six cylinder engine mated to the factory 5 speed manual transmission, electric windows and sunroof, leather seating [I am also including an extra pair of black manual sport seats], 17" Beyren mesh alloy wheels with good Continental rubber, front and rear spoilers, original chrome Euro bumpers and genuine German markings for on board computer and hvac dials. The currently NON-working odometer shows 165,964 miles so it is being sold TMU [true miles unknown].Offered here with a low, four-figure reserve, far less than the cost of the sales tax alone on a new and quickly depreciating 6er, this nearly 35 year-old BMW coupe is being sold with clean Nevada title and current California smog certificate [8/26/19].
THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1985 Bimmer is in fair, 99.9% dry, rust-free condition with LOTS OF PATINA which includes manynicks, scratches and clearcoat blemishes. I see it as either a driver as is, a solid foundation for a complete restoration OR....a good "Art car" platform!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this 1985 BMW is in fair, sun-tattered condition throughout.Some good elements include nice three-spoke sport steering wheel, working check panel, working windows and sunroof, working lights and blinkers, etc..Imperfections include many dash cracks, worn seats, one broken hvac slider, poor radio reception from broken antenna, ac inop [have not diagnosed], missing rear speaker covers BUT I am providing an extra pair for new owner.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1985 Shark-nose BMW starts well with good running engine that was rebuilt by the previous owner. It sounds fresh with no smoking though it could use a fresh tank or two after sitting for many years. I just had new wires, plugs, fuel pump and a few other items addressed. The transmission shifts well, the steering is responsive and smooth along with tight solid suspension feel and strong, straight braking.
