Now and again a car comes along that changes the game and for BMW the legendary E24 was it, there was nothing quite like them at the time for luxury sports performance, and for many the ‘shark nose’ 635 CSi is still considered ‘peak BMW’. The styling seems to have got even better with age and the drive & handling are superb even by modern standards, with the 3.5 litre inline 6 making the perfect roar.
The DVLA report only 5 1983 cars currently on the road making this an extremely rare car, particularly with a manual gearbox and in such outstanding condition. It presents superbly; outside, inside & underneath, even retaining the often missing tool kit and original BMW bookpack.
The fantastic soundtrack reminds you of the 3.5 litre powerhouse under the bonnet, with a top speed of 140 mph and the 215 bhp getting you to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds.
The thing that really strikes you when behind the wheel is how incredibly well it copes in modern traffic, its hard to believe you’re in a 42 year old car, this must have been something else back in 1983 and it’s no wonder they cost considerably more than your average house!
An excellent example of a rare and highly desirable car that needs nothing…..on the key and ready to go.
