What is a Motorsport M635CSi ?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All,

I'm a huge BMW 6-series enthousiast from Holland, owning one of the

earliest 6-ers, a 630CS (Carburetted model) built on June 30th 1976, #

453 off the Karmann production line.

In the June 2001 issue of BMW Car which I recently came across, I

discovered a Buying advise for the M635CSi.

In that article a Mr. David Connell of the BMW M-Power Club UK was

mentioned owning a very rare M635CSi type, the Motorsport edition.

It has slightly more horsepower (292 i.s.o 286), and different bodykit

(spoilers?), and even leather in the boot! (I wonder where that is

fitted then..)

It was said only 12 of these cars were ever made. Was this a one-off

UK special? I never came across one anywhere else in Europe.

Were they built by BMW, or later modified through UK dealerships?

What was done with the engine to increase the BHP from 286 to 292?

It seems so little extra to do a lot of work for on the engine.

I know of the Motorsport Edition of the normal 635CSi in the UK sold

from 1988 onwards, but this is a M6 Motorsport Edition, which seems to be something else.

It is also not to be confused with the Highline option which was

also possible on the M6 cars.

I'm researching everything there is to know about BMW 6-series cars,

and although I already have a huge archive, I'm missing details about this special M6.

I was just wondering if anybody in the UK knows more about this very

special M6 type, or perhaps owns one, and can tell me more about the

specific details.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Kind Coup� Regards from Holland,
