THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new ownerat NO RESERVEis this 1985 BMW 635CSI COUPE!
This is the third custom hand-painted art car I have produced. As also shown here is the 1984 733i that is currently available for purchase along with the1987 535is that is in process of being sold, this 1985 635csi "SHARK" began as a rust-free cirrusblau example that I aquired about 5 years ago with the top surfaces faded. It was and still is, a 99.9% rust-free blue California license plate specimen that I began painting about two years ago. While it is, in my artistic mind, still unfinished, it can be used as is as a still unique old classic OR bring back to its original finish OR I am open to discussing its completion with the new owner after purchase. In any case it is otherwise a quite original specimen of a 33 year-old classic BMW that has been driven just over 163,000 original accident-free California miles! This E24-chassis Shark sports a great unning 182 horsepower 3.5 liter inline six cylinder engine mated to the factory 4 speed automatic transmission with sport and winter modes, four sheel disc brakes with ABS, [anti-lock], electric windows and sunroof, cruise control, factory tool kit, am/fm/cd stereo, OBC [on-board computer], factory electric Recaro sports seats,air conditioning, M sport steering wheel and 16" Mille Miglia alloy wheels with good rubber. It is being sold with clean and clear title in my name along with current registration too,
Offered here on ebay at NO RESERVE,this is a fabulous find...for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new BMW 3 series sedan!
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 33 year-old 635csi is in straight clean 99.9% rust-free condition overall with original factory paint underneath. I have the removed badge and side lense ready for re-install. The wheels have a bit of curb rash and there is a very small ding on the nose.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this 1985 BMW is in good, quite original condition overall with most all systems in perfect working order......the lights, blikers, horn, electric windows, sunroof, heater and cruise control all work well. Imperfections inside this 6er include light cracking on the dash top, wear on the original blue leather, a bit of fading on the headliner fabric, a/c not blowing cold [have never really needed it here in the bay area] and weak stereo reception.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This '85 BMW runs very well with excellent shifting transmission, solid and secure braking, smooth steering and firm controlled suspension and good handling. It is definitely an experience driving this custom ART CAR.
