*Left-hand drive: Originally registered in France
*Full service history
*Zender bodykit


The M635CSi was the range-topper of the 6-series line-up and sold in fewer numbers than its less powerful siblings: consequently any example coming to auction is a rare sight. This left-hand drive example was sold new in France in 1986. Today it has good body and paintwork, good shutlines and good trim, but there is a scuff to the front bumper's offside quarter. The Zender bodykit remains in good order. The replacement black leather interior (the original interior can be included) presents well, with few signs of wear: the front seats have mellowed well and the dashboard and door cards are in good order. The engine bay is presentable. The TRX cross-spoke alloy wheels are in good condition but the original BBS types are included with the car, as are the French numberplates and original yellow headlamps.

This M635CSi has full service history and stands out from other models thanks to its Zender bodykit: it comes with a long MoT-test. Offered for sale by it's second keeper from new, the first being a BMW dealer who ordered the car with an oil catch bottle/dipstick and stainless steel exhaust.
