Overview

The BMW E24 6 Series is widely regarded as one of the most elegant grand touring coupes produced by BMW. Known for its distinctive “shark nose” design and long bonnet proportions, the E24 combined luxury and performance in a way that helped define the premium GT coupe segment of the 1980s. The 635CSi sat at the top of the range, powered by BMW’s robust inline six engine and designed to deliver effortless long distance performance.

This example is finished in Dark Blue with a Grey leather interior and is presented in left hand drive configuration. Showing 47,630 km recorded, the vehicle carries an auction grade of 3.5 with a B rated interior. While the condition reflects age related wear, the relatively low mileage makes this an appealing candidate for enthusiasts looking for a classic BMW grand tourer that could benefit from careful restoration or preservation.
