'A highly significant car in BMW's history, the M635Csi was the first to carry the famous "Motorsport" badge that has become synonymous with superlative performance and engineering.' – Supercar World.

Stylish, fast and well engineered, the 635CSi enjoyed a production run lasting into the 1990s, being periodically up-dated in line with its sister models. BMW's 600-Series coupe debuted in 1976 and was mechanically similar to the 700-Series saloons, although introduced before them. Karmann styled like the preceding 3.0CS/CSi, the newcomer was similarly well-specified, featuring all-independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and power-assisted steering as standard. Brainchild of BMW's Motorsport department, the M635CSi version arrived in 1984. Its engine was a development of the M1 supercar's 3.5-litre, 24-valve, six-cylinder unit producing 286bhp, the increased power necessitating chassis improvements which included altered weight distribution, revised suspension, bigger brakes and a limited-slip differential. There was also a close-ratio five-speed gearbox (or four-speed multi-mode auto) and a more luxurious interior, while outwardly this ultimate 6-Series model was readily distinguishable by virtue of its 'M Technic' body kit. Performance was emphatically in the supercar league, the M635CSi being capable of reaching 100km/h (62mph) in around 6 seconds on its way to a top speed in excess of 250km/h (155mph).

One of 5,855 examples built, some 500 being produced in 1985, this superb M635CSi was re-commissioned in 2000 by BMW Bavarian, Belfast after five years in storage and then consigned to a private collection. The car was re-commissioned and fully serviced again in 2014, receiving all new fluids and filters, and a new water pump. In addition, it was fitted with new BMW polished split-rim alloy wheels shod with new tyres (original wheels with car). This car has the standard Getrag five-speed manual gearbox while factory fitted options include a tinted glass sunroof, electric windows and a trip computer. A total of 58,974 miles is recorded on the odometer and we are advised that this M635CSi drives as one would expect from such a little used example. Finished in white with oxblood leather interior, this exceptional M635CSi is offered with MoT to May 2016 and a V5 registration document.
