Default Views wanted please...BMW 635CSi

Got the chance of having one or a pair of 635's...very very reasonable price too...one is a bog standard 1980 and the other is a modified 1982.

1980 is going for £450 ono
1982 is going for £1450 ono
Both for £1500 ono

Both are in very good order mechanically and both have excellent bodywork.

Do I go for one or both?

Anyone with previous experience of ownership of one of these classic BMW's please?

Certainly are classic BMW's..should be able to offload them to the local pimps at a worthwhile profit!

theyll rust out from under you in the blink of an eye. Especially in places that are expensive, like the inner wings. cheap enough to risk it though.

The ultimate pimpmobile, get them both bought, sell the one you don't like. Sorted

Thumbs up

635 BM's are great IMHO - they still look good and provide some fun tail-out action Just make sure they have been mechanically looked after and have had a recent cambelt change as this is a very big bill on these cars!!

£450 sounds like a good cheap bit of track fun to me! Then tidy it up, give it a quick polish and sell it for a small profit
