Highlights

- Very well kept car inside and out
- APK to June 2024
- Believed to be one owner from new
- Great example of the Bracq-penned E24
The Appeal
The E24 was the sort of coupe only BMW could build. With its delicate Paul Bracq lines, spacious and luxurious four seater interior and a suite of superlative straight six engines, it was pretty much close to perfect.
The 635CSI of 1978 served only to dial up the desirability. This 210bhp motor befitted the firm’s ‘ultimate drivers car’ claims while the front and rear spoilers helped improve the handling.
First registered in the Netherlands in August 1981 and believed with the original owner since new, this low mileage 635CSI is in superb condition with an attractive specification. These cars are very usable so perfect for daily driving or saved for weekends and this one comes with the added reassurance of a long APK certificate.
