Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
The 635 CSi encapsulates everything a BMW should be. Comfortable and elegant with plenty of attitude.
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 is where Johns beautifully presented car comes in. Offered with full-service history and a genuine mileage of 48,562 miles on the clock, this recently recommissioned example has just come out of long term climate-controlled storage. It is completely original, down from the dealer stickers to the Blaupunkt cassette stereo.
Good, well maintained and low mileage 635 CSi's can be enjoyed without burning significant holes in your wallets thanks to the commonality of parts with other BMW’s. But what really marks Johns car out as a viable alternative to most of the large coupes of the era, is that BMW created a comfortable well-built grand tourer which still looks like it means business.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi, nice car, apologies for the questions I have below. if you could kindly publically answer would be great. In the exterior video (0:42 to 0:48) it seems the passengers door doesn’t seem to close. This is in the interior video at 08:10 to 08:15 when the cameraman attempts to shut, it takes a couple of attempts. Any issues with the door latches? Also, under passenger side wing (at 01:36 of exterior video) there is something about an inch to the right of the chromework, is that bubbling? This is not present on the drivers side at (01:59 of exterior video). Also, in the service history table, the only “services” appear to have been in 2021 which you performed yourself, and in January 2011, noted in the service book as “BMW Independent Specialist” given these were performed by your own garage, can you please upload / provide the bill of works? Also, are there any invoices for works completed by Coalville (which has now permanently closed as a garage) or Chris Bream Cars? Is there any indication from the prior owners whom you purchased from recently, when the respray was done (any bills / invoices for the respray would be greatly appreciated)? Also, between 10 and 13 January 2006, the rear brake discs, rear fuel pipe, and exhaust must have been fixed in a bill in order for the MOT to have passed on 13 January 2006, is there any history to this? Also, between June 1996 and January 2001 are there any SORN certificates? Lastly, do you have any photographs of the car in the CarCoon? Sorry for the long list of questions, and many thanks, Dave
Hi the door just needed lubricating as it’s not been open for years. The only history is what’s on the advert. This is a great usable classic car and a pleasure to drive. your more than welcome to view and take for a drive.
Thanks John, apologies in the earlier comment I meant January 2006 when I said “June 1996 and January 2001” I basically trying to see why there is such a big gap in the Service History table. Do you have further details on the “renewal of brake items”, e.g. brake pads, discs, or caliphers?
Given your garage has stamped the service booklet in 2011 and 2021, can you kindly summarise works completed?
Also, just like the Cherished Car Underwriting Agency photo was included under photo #21 of paperwork, why has the Julie Price (insurance agency in Hinckley) paperwork been omitted from the photos? Has other key paperwork been omitted? In terms of viewing I am around 2.5 hours drive, hence would prefer to iron these points out first before a 5 hour journey there and back journey.
Thanks,
