Forgotten M635csi’s

Cheers Bayerische,

It's my guilt ridden mind, many moons ago I tried to save a solid irish e21 320i. A cracker of a car that just needed an engine (threw a leg..) Phoned loads of guys no takers and the car was bailed, So if the cars worth saving I'll have a go at saving it, even just getting it running under its own steam is sometimes enough for another guy to take it on as a project. The '81 e28 had it's stay of execution but the to do list is nothing short of a full blown restoration.

the LHD e28 M5 has gone to ground, it's in south Kerry owned by a retired german fella and have heard nothing about it for the last 6 months or so. Think it's time for a call !!!

Yeah Dergside,

Spot on, Westmeath and late 1981, was of mixed minds to scrap or save but it's a rare car having the colour coded rev counter early centre console and LCD clock, so I'm probably going to do the latter, It isn't viable but I'm a sucker for the early e28.

I come to Dublin about twice a month, pm me with an offer thats fair to both of us subject to  them working and being what you want.

engine idles but I cant drive it as the Auto box ECU is missing,there's also a brand new windscreen (bluegray) thats never been fitted, chrome wheelarch trims etc

Thanks Mick, but I don't think the owner has any intention of selling. He had ample opportunity to contact me and never did. I know for a fact that he did receive my messages.

A quick update on both of these cars, as it has been a while since we have heard any news of them.

Both M635CSi's have now been been moved from their old resting place. I have no idea where they have gone or their fate.

I was trying to aquire the Macau blue car on behalf of a member ( Ron ) on the bigcoupe.com forum. Ron is a genius with e24's and has restored a couple of sixes to near concourse condition, his current project is a rare e24 convertible. I was hoping the Macau car could have been brought back to life by him, if we were able to get it for the right price. I made numerous enquiries trying to make contact with the owner of the cars, but he never returned any of my messages.

It turns out that the Macau blue car is a rare M635CSi Motorsport limited edition of which only 23 were produced for BMW GB at the end of the production run in 1989.

I did hear that the owner of the cars father, owns a garage. Hopefully then, he has started to or has plans to restore the car.

What a shame to that to the finest car BMW built.

Looked at Wheelers/Dealers yesterday (Discovery Sweden) when they tuned up a red 635CSi to good normal condition.

Can´t forget the day a friend give me the keys to his  M635 in mint condition fore a testdrive it was a lucky day !!

Those cars was 20 year before other cars and the last models dont feel old at all today. I would like to have one, but my garage is full already.
