BMW E12

528 or 530?

Is there a prize?

 

You lose.

Guess again.

 

E23??

 

(Looks at the grill a bit harder)

Original 6 series?? aka E24 (Last guess)

 

Damn your edit.

But yes, its a 1988 E24 635csi

 

VERY nice... good condition?

 

Fair condition, needs some bodywork and a repaint but the motor and tranny are in GREAT shape.
It has 138k miles on it for $3500 with two sets of wheels (stock and ones shown)

 

Thats a good price!

Those motors were definitely ahead of their time.

 

i love that frickin car

 

i love 80's bmw's. i need to get some more work done on my e30.

 

Neato, did you manage to find a manual?

I have that engine with in a old e3 with a 4 speed, it's plenty fast.

 

I still stare when I see one of those.

 

Beautiful!

 

I don't know, the rear window looks taint like to me.

 

that car is oooogly.

 

the punishment in some countries for that statment is death by hanging.

 

on the 80's bimmers, i'm plotting on my father-in-laws' 325 5speed. looks good

 

Nice find.

 

Interesting choice... what's the gas mileage like?

 

sweet car, those new wheels make it look much more modern

 

 

Nice.

Just swap out those wheels with some throwing stars or M parallels.

 

Nice buy!

What's the plan for it sans the cosmetic fix ups?

 

It will need a repaint for sure.

The front bumper will need fixing or replacing, the rear tailights need to be changed since one is cracked. Main thing is to fix the rust spots that have started to show up.

This wont happen that quickly, like i said its a work car so we will be testing on it. But once that is done (few months) then i can start doing more to it.

My goal is to make it a MINT stock 635csi. So no real mods will happen.

 

Nice plan, but how do you deal with the rust spots? Sand it down and weld on new plates?

<--

 

Depends how bad it is, im hoping all i need is to do some wet sanding.

 

What kind of testing are you planning on doing with it?

 

Meh, they dont want me to say. Ill post the results after we done though.

Yes i know im being lame. Sorry.

 

That is a pretty darn rare car if it is a manual. Very nice shark.

 

Oooo...purdy!

 

Oooohh...E24! I once owned a '83 633 and loved the way the car drove, loved the looks even more. Had a chance on picking up a '85 M635csi but the owner was stubborn on the price...oh well...
Nice ride...enjoy!

 

I saw one of these earlier today. Timeless design. Nice purchase! Post some interior pics

 

i wish i was rich and could afford multiple cars

 

I think some of us have a clue to what you are up too... Didn't want to try an old chevy truck or mustang, eh ?? Damn eurosnobs

 

One of my all time faves, but good luck on the money pit!

 

Just brought it home from the 40 mile trip. Drives like a tank but yet very comfy.

Will post pics later when i clean it up a bit. I get to drive her for few days then
its off to the work warehouse where it will be stored till Spring.

too bad its an Automatic
