The Appeal

With distinctive “shark nose” styling courtesy of the great Paul Bracq, the E24 was a worthy successor to the legendary E9. Offered with a range of powerful straight-six engines and often optioned with automatic gearboxes, E24 CSi models made fabulous grand tourers, ensuring they’re still immensely popular to this day.

Powered by the 3,430 cc M30B34 engine, this 1986 635 CSi is a very desirable variant and it’s in fantastic condition for its age. There are just 78,939 miles indicated on the odometer and we understand it’s been used sparingly: on the road from 1986 until 1992 and then SORN until 2016. Complete with a long MOT and reportedly running well, this highly original BMW is a great candidate for your next classic acquisition.
