Really is stunning.

That seller sells some very nice cars, he often picks them from classic car auctions as far as I can tell.

He once had a Ford Capri 1.6 Laser with 17000miles from new that he'd bought off Barons Auction House in Esher for just £2100, sold it on ebay for over £5000. I was kicking myself, had I passed my test I would have bid on it...although had I owned that I'd probably be a ford man!

What a stunning car.

This guy really understands how to present a car, pictured in oppulent surroundings makes buyers think it's a money no object car.

Nice photography, nice attention to detail, I bet he sells his cars for top money.

I like these old 6 series, particualrly the Highline model. But I also like the car they replaced, the 3.0 CSL/CSi

Quite a bit of talk on the BMW forums on this one, be interesting to see what it makes, £7/8k being the predicted end-price.

great cars, friends father had a M635i it really flew, though the way he treated cars i'd rather not be the next owner. They also have the same problem with front wings rusting as the W124.

I like that car, was looking into purchasing a 635csi some years ago, but glad I held out for the Merc. I hate bmw's generally, and the only other one to spark any interest is the 740. I think they are all of the same childs craft lesson, a piece of wire coathanger with lycra stretched over it, just like the advert. Sad.

As a teenager and beyond I always wanted a 635CSI and adored the 3.0CSI/CSL (the car with the goldfish bowl rear window).

Around 20 years ago I was offered a used 635CSI (Red) complete with the number plate 42 BMW for £7000 and could have easily bought it, but decided againt doiing so.


Apparently a top condition 3.0CSL/CSI will now fetch up to 250,000 euros.

He's at Barpns pretty much every month, he will have a lovely old Porsche Targa for sale soon that he robbed at the last auciton.

Nice photography, nice attention to detail, I bet he sells his cars for top money.

Should have parked it a foot to the left (car's left), would have hidden the drain cover and pulled the car's roof out of blending into the shadow in the background.

But yes, way better than most eBay ads

Sniff Petrol addressed this in this month's issue, actually..

I did not know that the rear windows could go down in a 635!?!? How retro and is epically clean! I've loved the 635's since I was a kid watching Innerspace. The bad guy drove a black one. And that Ginger South Africkan chap in the start of Leathol Weapon II drove the stunning red one!!! Worth whatever it goes for!

Looks like a great car.
I had a 1986 635 csi years ago and loved it, cost a fortune to buy and sold it three and half years later for next to nothing.

 

[Gridlock]

I'll take an M8 please...

M635CSi definitely a close second though.

AFAIK BMW didn't make an M8

AFAIK BMW didn't make an M8

I take it he is talking about the 8 series,but even if they did make one it would be nothing special

 

[Gridlock]

I think there's about 5 M8s, none of which have been for sale for a very long time. It's no M3 CSL but as far as looks go, yes please.

Edit: From Wikipedia (I'm wrong, as usual);

Originally envisioned as a Ferrari competitor, only a single prototype BMW M8 was ever produced, equipped with a special 550 bhp (410 kW) version of the S70 engine, essentially a bored out version of the M70 with experimental multi-valve cylinder heads. A common misconception is that this engine powered the McLaren F1. However, when this was suggested to McLaren's designer Gordon Murray, the idea was rejected because the engine was too heavy and long for the McLaren F1. A completely new BMW engine was designed which has a closer resemblance to the later Euro S50B30 BMW M3 engine.
The project was eventually scrapped because BMW decided that there was no market for an M8. The only prototype ever produced (one that was reportedly not even road safe) was locked away by BMW in the company's Giftschrank (poison storage) and was reportedly destroyed.[2] BMW and the M Division had strongly denied that the car was even a possibility since the initial stages of its development. A world exclusive feature in the February 2010 issue of BMW Car Magazine, however, revealed that the M8 prototype still exists in its entirety, though at the time of writing a malfunctioning engine management module still required attention before the S70/1 V12 could be declared in proper running order.[3]
While the M8 was never produced, it is interesting to note that the 850CSi was also tuned by BMW's M division. Aside from sporting an M-tuned engine (as identified by the S suffix instead of the M prefix that a non-M tuned engine would wear), the car's VIN identifies the car as being built by BMW Motorsport (identified by the WBS prefix) instead of BMW AG (WBA prefix). This effectively identifies the 850CSi as essentially a detuned version of the M8.[4]
