New 635 Owner

Robmw wrote: Hi Horstan, I was talking of your post on Big Coupe about HKE, the other 6

I waited all day on Saturday for the call from the seller. Nothing. I've sent him another e-mail. Not expecting a reply.

The 35000-miler "Highline" on eBay has this very telling comment in the description:

"I have inherited it and this auction is to gauge interest for this type of vehicle"

...hence the very high reserve. At the end of the day, it's cheap advertising.

Anyone want their fortune told?!? Cross me palm with Euros, etc.

Its a lovely looking car .

It is. Won't need much work to bring to concours condition.

Best of luck with your visit this weekend.

Which visit is that? The one to pick up the long awaited E24 towbar?

...or the one to mull over this:

I suspect the seller's been taking this thread seriously, so the reserve will probably be nearer ten grand.....

Up to £7,100 already Horsetan!!!

Ive decided this car is for sale now.

Any interested parties please call 01344 426182 or email me.

Thanks Paul

Horsetan, love the sig picture. Has to be my very favourite Father Ted scene!

My Dads old Highline was Dolphin grey, but with the chrome and with Lotus white leather. That was a pimp car

I prefer the chrome. Took me a while to find a car that wasn't dechromed...

cant help thinking the chrome bumper at the rear looks just a little skinny or something, like theres something missing,

If there was such a thing 618i it should have this bumper!

Some have like a skirt underneath the bumper with a cutout for the exhaust but i think its after market and looks a little kitty, the side skirts that match it look truly horrid,

Not sure who makes the kit , looks like posibly something Zender would make, any one know the one im on abt..

Im not going to pass judgment till i see my car dropped 6omm and see if it fills that big gap between bumper an road - i can nearly see right under the back as it is

Havin trouble gettin springs mailed to auz cus of weight

Hmmm - I think a car with that mileage needs brand
new wings - you may as well make it perfect
because it's going to be a £10'000 car when done.
The colour is the only thing possibly against it
(Cirrus blue) but I wouldn't take a bean less than ten
grand. Spend a few quid on having the leather
reconnolised, new floor mats etc.

That's going to be a stunning car - start out at
£12'000 and chance your arm - you can always
come down and at £10'000 it should sail away. Very,
very few with that mileage now.

I'm going to convince my Gran to buy a new M6.

Ha Ha it,d be very unlike me to be too subtle with my opinions!!

Add,s some spice to the forums but! The Big bumpers remind me a little of an M-Tec2 kit on an E30, Not quite as much, just a little as the mtec2 kit made the E30 appearance, The 635 gets away with eithar look,The small bumpers are more Elegant but less aggressive But as i said i think im decided on the aggressive look..

There was a 89 Delphin Grey highline in Sydney for same money as mine at the same time i bought with Grey Leather, There were a fair few dings on it and laquer peeling in spots as well as major driver seat bolster wear.the other factor was it had o/e 15" rims which was another $3k straight up as im still caught in that teenage Big rim craze!

It was de-chromed highline and 1989 but in the end I choose not to mess around with repainting/retrims ect, Looking at all that list seems like i made the right decision actually,

Another will come my way with time as they do- (Theres probably one for sale right now but im not even going to look i hate that after u buy!
