Most of the classic car mags name these as a future classic - if not a classic already.

The 635CSi Highline is a beautiful car - much nicer to look at than the new 6 series (Chris Bangle design).

I have always liked them - they are very very cool.

PS I love older cars.......

A class act (particularly the 635 CSL "Batmobile")

Unlike anything that Chris Bangle has ever done. I know f**k all about designing cars, but I honestly reckon I could do a better job than him.

I always liked the "sloping forward" grille, particularly in the 2002 Tii

Bangle must have got something right since they are all sold out for the next 1 - 2 years.

Maybe you weren't his target audience.

Paul,

The one that was for sale at Coys (Autosport)was awful, as were most of the cars on that stand. Couldn't believe the lack of quality of the entrants.

Anyway, back to 635's. Love them to bits. A mates Dad had the M version with the 286bhp lump. Awesome car. Watch out for rusty wings, and history is vital as with all cars. I'd have one for sunny weekends and summer evening blasts.

Matt

Met, thats lovely, did it try and bankrupt you ?

Do you think it has lost the image problem of BMW's and says something other than 'out of the way pleb'

Do you think it could be used as an ungaraged daily driver or would it need extreme pampering ?
