Mechanically similar to the 5-series saloons and styled by Karmann like the preceding 3.0CS/CSi, BMW's 6-Series coupé debuted in 1976 incorporating some components destined for the yet-to-be-announced 7-Series. The handsome newcomer was similarly well specified, featuring all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and power-assisted steering as standard. It replaced the long running 3.0 CS series, whose pillar-less bodyshell was considered insufficiently strong to pass the latest US safety legislation.

Commencing with the 3.0-litre 630 and 3.3-litre 633, the range was supplemented in 1978 by the 635CSi, which would enjoy a production run lasting into the 1990s, being periodically up-dated in line with its sister models. For this ultimate expression of the line, BMW fitted its luxury coupé with a big-bore, short-stroke, race-developed, 3.5-litre engine producing 218bhp, an output good enough to endow the fully equipped 635 CSi with performance on a par with that of the lightweight 3.0 CSL. A deep chin spoiler and boot spoiler outwardly distinguished the new model from its predecessors, contributing significantly to stability at high speeds.

Even today, some 30 years on, these big BMW coupés have enormous presence, and with a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time of around 7.0 seconds and a top speed of 140mph (225km/h) in the case of the 635CSi, are not slow by any standards. Really well preserved and original specimens such as this example are now very rare and keenly sought after by collectors.

This 635CSi was sold new in Germany on 29th September 1982 by Autohaus Idstein GmbH, a BMW dealership. According to the service book/owner's manual, the car was maintained in Germany up to 2002 when it was serviced on 2nd October of that year (at 120,000 kilometres). Believed to have owned the car since 1998, the previous custodian was a French gentleman who lived in Strasbourg. On file are several invoices under his name issued by a company called Higel & Focht GmbH, dating from 1998 to 2002, together with a photograph of the car when it was registered in Strasbourg. Service book was last stamped on 25th March 2003 (126,388 kilometres).

The late owner purchased the BMW in 2003, since when approximately €6,500 has been spent on its maintenance. Finished in Polaris metallic with blue interior, it presents well, with nice and straight coachwork, currently displaying a total of 144,620 kilometres on the odometer. Offered with French Carte Grise.

1982 BMW 635CSi Coupé

Telaio nr. WBAEC7103C8170781

  • Consegnata nuova in Germania
  • Manutenzione effettuata in Germania fino all'ottobre 2002
  • Cronologia dei tagliandi completa
  • Immatricolata in Francia Meccanicamente simile a quella delle berline della Serie 5, prodotta da Karmann come la precedente 3.0CS / CSi, la Coupé BMW Serie 6 ha debuttato nel 1976, anticipando alcuni aspetti e componenti della Serie 7 ancora da presentare. La splendida nuova arrivata, era, inoltre, altrettanto ben equipaggiata con sospensioni a ruote indipendenti, freni a disco sulle quattro ruote e servosterzo di serie. Ha sostituito la serie CS 3.0, da tempo in produzione, la cui scocca senza montante centrale era stata valutata come non abbastanza robusta per superare la più recente legislazione sulla sicurezza degli Stati Uniti.

La Serie 6 nacque come 630, con motore da 3 litri e 633 con motore da 3.3 litri; la gamma è stata poi integrata, nel 1978, dalla 635CSi, che verrà prodotta fino agli anni '90, periodicamente aggiornata contemporaneamente alle altre versione della serie. Per questa Coupé di lusso, la massima espressione della serie, BMW ha scelto di utilizzare il motore da 3,5 litri, con alesaggio maggiorato e corsa corta, sviluppato per le competizioni, con una potenza di 218 CV sufficiente per permettere alla 635 CSi, ben più equipaggiata di avere prestazioni pari a quelle della più leggera e spoglia CSL 3.0.

Il caratteristico marcato spoiler frontale abbinato al piccolo alettone posto sul baule, particolari aerodinamici assenti sulla serie precedente, caratterizzano il nuovo modello e contribuiscono in modo significativo alla stabilità alle alte velocità. Ancora oggi, a circa 40 anni di distanza queste grandi coupé BMW hanno un aspetto possente e sono capaci di staccare uno 0-100 km/h in circa 7,0 secondi e di raggiungere una velocità massima di 225 km/h; specialmente nel caso della 635CSi, non posso essere considerate "lente" sotto alcun aspetto. Veramente ben conservate e in condizioni originali, come la vettura offerta, sono vetture molto rare e ricercate dai collezionisti.

La 635CSi proposta, è stata venduta nuova in Germania il 29 settembre 1982 dalla concessionaria BMW Autohaus Idstein GmbH. Secondo quanto indicato dal libretto di uso e manutenzione, l'auto è stata tagliandata in Germania fino al 2002, quando il 2 ottobre di quell'anno (a 120.000 chilometri) ha ricevuto l'ultimo servizio. Si ritiene che il precedente proprietario, un gentiluomo francese che viveva a Strasburgo, l'abbia avuta dal 1998. Nel faldone della vettura ci sono diverse fatture a suo nome, emesse da una società chiamata Higel & Focht GmbH, proprio per il periodo tra il 1998 al 2002, insieme a una fotografia dell'auto quando targata Strasburgo.

Il libretto dei tagliandi è stato utilizzato e timbrato l'ultima volta il 25 marzo 2003 (a 126.388 chilometri). L'ultimo proprietario l'ha acquistata nel 2003, e, da allora, ha speso circa € 6.500 per la sua manutenzione. Verniciata in grigio Polaris metallizzato, con interni blu, con una carrozzeria piacevole a vedersi e sana, ed il suo contachilometri riporta un totale di 144.620 chilometri. Viene offerta in vendita con il libretto francese (Carte Grise).
