AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:
Vehicle acquired in Monaco in 1980 (from the current owner and with few kilometers) and imported to Spain due to a move. It was used as the main and family car until a few years ago, when the owner began using automatic vehicles due to a left knee injury. Despite this, it has continued to be enjoyed and driven frequently to keep it in optimal condition. The reason for its sale is mainly the difficulty of coordinating its parking space with two other cars in the residence garage.

Launched as the flagship of BMW's E24 series, the 635 CSi became an icon of grand touring cars of the 1980s. Equipped with the famous inline-6 M30 3.5-liter engine, this model is widely recognized for its smooth power delivery, excellent dynamic balance and its unmistakable "Sharknose" design signed by Paul Bracq.

CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
Bodywork and paint are in perfect condition, with no scratches, dents, rust, or known accidents. The car underwent a complete body and paint repair two years ago at a trusted workshop. The rubber seals, glass, chrome elements and lights are fully inspected and in proper condition. There are no past welds or areas needing welding work.

MECÁNICA:
The engine is in good overall condition and provides very pleasant driving. It was rebuilt and tuned a few years ago after reaching 250,000 kilometers at a trusted workshop.

INTERIOR:
The complete interior was refurbished in its entirety, reupholstering the seats, side panels, headliner and carpets. The trunk was also fully redone with new coverings. The original elements, restored and replaced, are in impeccable condition and the electrical system functions correctly in full, including radio, blower, power windows, gauges and switches.

DOCUMENTACIÓN:
The vehicle has up-to-date paperwork and Historic Vehicle status. First ITV registered in Spain dated 06/05/2009. The last ITV was passed on 12/03/2026 and the next inspection is scheduled for 12/03/2030. European Community circulation permit valid in combination with the current ITV. Photos of the license plate, manuals, invoices, revision stamps and restoration proofs are available, with personal data privacy safeguarded.

RECOGIDA:
The vehicle is located in Madrid, and delivery can be coordinated either at a workshop in San Sebastián de los Reyes or in La Moraleja (Alcobendas), to be determined at the time of the pickup agreement.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
