Title is in my name and is clear and open! This car runs and drives!! Euro, Grey Market BMW 1979 635CSi with 5 speed dogleg trans and CLOTH Recaro sport seats all numbers matching car! I believe it was painted in early 2000's . This E24 never went through the federalization process. Meaning NO catalyst, NO extra weight in doors or bumpers for USA impact regulations. No side markers, NO federalization sticker no documents! Instrumentation is in Kilometers and in german interpretation for controls. The car was opted with headlight wipers and passenger mirror delete. The wiper arms are gone but the rest is present. A sunroof and a LSD rear options as well. I purchased this car not running and last on the road in 2016. Needless to say the fuel tank to all hard and soft fuel lines were rotted and garbage! I sourced the correct fuel tank and I custom made all the fuel lines from Stainless Steel. I purchased the correct beading tool to finish off the hardlines joined them with the proper soft lines with new OEM clamps. Also a new OEM fuel pump, accumulator, filter and bracket again mounting with all stainless hardware. I pulled the upper intake manifold and changed all injector rubbers(12) and C clips while replacing the short fuel lines between the fuel rail and injectors. Also suspension parts new, front lower A arms with ball joints and poly bushings, sway bar links and poly bushings also. Alternator bushings were changed to poly. I correctly bent and flared new rear hard brake lines and all soft brake lines (6)were replaced OEM. New rear brake pads are ordered. Parking brake hardware was removed and boxed. Brakes and clutch bled.The valve cover was removed, valves were adjusted, oil spray bar removed and cleaned out, reinstalled with new crush washers. Oil and filter were changed and the engine was turned over with plugs removed to verify that oil sprayed from the oil bar and oil pressure light satisfied. Then a dry cold compression check was done with all 6 cylinders returning 185-192 PSi. Reassembled with new valve cover gaskets and new spark plugs.
The good:Close to original car with euro dirty m30m90 motorLSDRuns and drives super strongStahl long tube headerNo leaksNo smokeNo noisesDog Leg Trans shifts well-thought-out Sport Recaros in Cloth mmmmm RAREDash has ONE small crack (most are trash)Rear speakers covers like newCan be a driving restoShock and strut towers are mintSides of car paint wise are niceWheel arches are excellentChrome very niceLots or service work documentsAll drivetrain service work is done oil wise
Bad:Rust..Has some rot pertaining to drivers side floor by rockers and front jacking pointWill need attention at some point.Inner rocker can be repaired and definitely saved. Passenger side can be saved without much if any surgery.The trunk landing on drivers side needs attention and above tail light on body where trunk lands also needs attention.Tow loop attachment point at spare tire well needs work. Very localized easy fix. Rest of trunk floor and rear wheel arches are excellent!Top surfaces the hood roof and trunk have the clear coat and will need a repaint.Around the sunroof has slight rust NOT rot!A/c, sunroof untestedTail light lenses cracked
