BMW 635CSI 1985 Model
Generation 2
If there is one model in the history of BMW M that represents its most significant era, it is the BMW M635CSi. In 1984, the four-seater continued the concept of high-performance 6-cylinder in-line engines that the legendary BMW M1 had established just a few years earlier. But like no other BMW M model before it, it embodied the ultimate symbiosis of luxury and high-performance. Considered avant-garde back then, today its typical M characteristics make it a sought-after classic.
Dubbing it ‘Sharknose’ and ‘Bayern-Express’, fans were quick to give the BMW M635CSi creative yet fitting nicknames. Then as now, it was regarded as the icon of the BMW E24 series, which was designed as a four-seater coupé with a front engine and rear-wheel drive. The first ‘Six’ had a production period of over 13 years – 1976 to 1989 – making it BMW’s longest lasting series. The sublime looks of this charismatic GT may well have contributed significantly to its longevity, and today makes the first BMW 6 Series a sought-after collector's item.
Paul Bracq. The signature aesthetic of the then BMW chief designer is also unmistakable in the interior. Here, Bracq developed the concept of the driver-facing dashboard more effectively than had been seen in any previous series model.
The BMW M635CSi, developed by BMW Motorsport GmbH and produced in small quantities from 1984 onwards. Here, the legendary BMW M88 engine – whose first variant was used in the BMW M1, the ancestor of every BMW M built to date – ensured superior propulsion. The M635CSi’s high-performance engine drew up to 286 hp, thanks to higher compression and modifications to the ignition and injection system. This was nine hp more than the standard version of the M1, from just under 3.5 litres of displacement, Altogether, it made the BMW M635CSi one of the fastest four-seater models of its time.
5,855 were built over its life span with less than 10% in right hand drive.
