Penned by the legendary Paul Bracq, the E24-generation of BMW's 6 Series has achieved iconic status by virtue of its trademark "Sharknose" design and, in the 635 CSi's case, strong performance from the marque's much-admired 3.5L straight-6 engine.

This example

This example was first registered in 1981 and has since done just over 170 000km. It is the desirable manual-transmission model and is sold with its original wheels (in addition to the currently fitted alloy wheels). The vehicle is currently white, but it is uncertain what the original colour was (possibly red). The vehicle has not been resprayed by the current owner (since 2007).

The vehicle is in good overall running condition, but the dashboard cover is cracked and it will need some TLC, as illustrated by the images. The price is (slightly) negotiable.
