Condition
7
The car is described as being in overall solid condition with slight wear, suggesting a rating of 'Very Good'. The respray in 2021 and the aftermarket wheels indicate some cosmetic work has been done, but the absence of advisories on recent MOTs suggests good mechanical condition. However, the description mentions 'slight wear visible in paint, interior, or wheels' which aligns with the 'Very Good' rating.

The BMW 635 CSi Motorsport Edition was a special UK-market model introduced in the late 1980s as BMW prepared to wind down production of the E24 6 Series.
Unlike the earlier M635CSi, the Motorsport Edition was based on the standard 635 CSi and focused on visual and equipment upgrades rather than a bespoke M engine.
It featured distinctive Motorsport striping, unique alloy wheels, sport seats, a limited range of exterior colours, and enhanced interior trim, giving it a more aggressive appearance inspired by BMW’s touring car success.
Produced in relatively small numbers (believed to be 181 examples), the Motorsport Edition was designed to celebrate the 6 Series’ sporting image and maintain showroom excitement until the model was replaced, and it has since become a sought-after collectible for its rarity and period-correct Motorsport styling.
We are delighted to offer this BMW 635 CSi Motorsport Edition in Nogaro Silver with black Nappa leather interior.
