Introduction
Josh Sharples
The 635 CSi is the epitome of BMW - comfort and elegance combined with the power from the straight-6 engine.
Introduced in 1985, the E24 Series BMW 635 CSi represented the penultimate symbol of the BMW range. The sublime styling, gaining the name ‘shark nose’ due to its prominent forward-facing nose was a suitably apt name for a car connected with financial professionals. The car was created by Paul Bracq, who managed to combine elegant lines with serious presence. This is not to say that the car doesn’t have other attributes though, they were well regarded as effortless long-distance cruisers and as fitting for a sports coupe, the 635 CSi also had an active competition pedigree, winning three European Touring Car Championships in the process.
Perfect for the owner who ranks style as important as performance, the 635 CSi has still had to live under the shadow of the M6 version. However, as M6 prices reach unobtainable levels, the very best examples of late model 635 CSi's start becoming very appealing.
This 635 CSi has had two previous owners before Chris, with the previous owner doing a lot of work on the car, which can be see in the Mechanical Review video. Numerous Alpina parts are fitted on the car, and this example was resprayed in Avus Blue last year, making it the only Avus Blue 635 CSi in the country as this colour was not an option when the car was launched in 1985.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Josh after meeting Chris the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Chris, could you also share the current registration no.
Hi David, please do take the time to look at the paperwork. You’ll see the registration number on all relevant documents. Best, Kulraj – Trade Classics

Hi Chris, just have a few questions.
Can you confirm the following;
1. All of the electrics work, i.e windows, roof, aerial etc.
2. Do the onboard computers work.
3. Do all heater controls work, can you regulate the temperatures.
4. The area under the radio, with all of the wires hanging down. Can you advise what these are for or what’s missing.
Many thanks
David
1. yes 2.yes 3.yes 4. the only wire hanging down is to plug your phone into charge
Hi Chris, can you confirm last service was 2019 and one before was 2014? Just wanted to check wasn’t missing anything. Would it have received oil changes in between?
This car has full service history and has wanted for nothing. Book is in car and I am away on holiday.
Thanks for getting back to me. Looking at pictures of service book it’s only showing two services in last 8 years?
Hello Chris why no BMW 365csi badge at the back of the car. Thanks
De badged because it is in the style of an Alpina.
The car has had a great deal of money spent on it to take it to the very high level it is in. The alloys alone are worth £1000 each if you could find a set!
Good luck bidding.
Hi, just a few questions:
1. Was D969YRP its original registration ?
2. Is there any other paperwork available other than what is in the pictures ?
Cheers
Dont know where you got that registration number from but its not this car! Current registration in C535 MNU. There is a huge file of bills and photographs. the car is in Pristine condition and as concours cars are now fetching £40K+ this should fetch good money. There are only 2 or 3 Alpina E24 in the UK and worth over £100,000 and this car looks the real thing. Good luck bidding.
