1989 BMW 6-Series 635CSI Description

THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new ownerat NO RESERVE is this RARE classic 1989 BMW 635csi "SHARK"!
Let me begin by saying that this car is quite an anomaly as I will articulate in more detail below. Finished in Alpine white over black leather hides, this 30 year-old E24-chassis coupe has been driven just over 149,700 Carfax-certified miles since new. It sports a very good running 208 horsepower 3.5 liter high-compression inline six cylinderengine mated to the desirable 5 speed manual transmission with stopping power provided by four wheel disc brakes with anti-lock ABS. Other features include electric windows and sunroof, electric leather seats, rear console cooler, 15" E34 alloy wheels with marginal rubber [other wheel and tire options available at additional cost], driver side airbag, rear sun screen, updated cd stereo, OBC computer, plastic front bumper sans fog lights, BMP front strut bar and rubber rear spoiler with BMW stampings and more. It is being sold with clean and clear California title with current registration [PLEASE NOTE: The Carfax report shows prior salvage title history in Texas more than a decade ago], factory owner's manual, repair manual and a grouping of extra parts [one front seat, two rear seat buckets, glove box, left taillight lense, driver side mirror, replacement steering wheel with airbag. NOTE: the rear speaker units are NOT included!]
Offered here at NO RESERVE, this is a fabulous find, for about the cost of THE SALES TAX ALONE ON A NEW THREE SERIES SEDAN!

THE BODY AND TRIM
This exterior of this 1989 Shark is in quite good, 99.9% rust-free condition overall with a decent overall shine to the lackluster Alpine white re-paint. The good news is that this is a very dry specimen with no rust-bubbles or obvious corrosion areas....VERY rare for these old coupes. There are various chips, nicks touch ups and other cosmetic imperfections. This is definitely NOT a concourse example but what I would consider it a presentable "ten-footer" that can be used as is as a daily driver as you restore. It is still a handsome three-decade old coupe with a nice classic stance!
THE INTERIOR.
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this '89 BMW is in fair but quite original condition overall. It is quite tattered inside with dash cracks, worn and torn seat upholstery and door panels, hazy instrument cluster glass, dangling and inop OBC computer, stained carpet areas, recently non-working stereo and electric antenna [after I tidyed up some under-dash wires. No good deed goes unpunished!]. The heat and fan work well [no clue about the a/c] and it has a still nice headliner with working sunroof and all electric windows. This is still one cool old German cockpit.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1989 BMW starts easily with strong running 3.5 liter M30 engine with good smooth power and the car goes down the road fairly well with good steering and solid secure braking. The shifter bushings and rear diff mounts are worn as are various other suspension components. Drive as is or use it as a restoration candidate.
