BMW 6-Serie M635 CSI, 1988. Four owners, 91,135 km, service books
from new.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Germany's BMW steadily built its
reputation as a maker of driver's cars with a distinctly sporting
character. The BMW 6 Series (internal code E24), introduced in
1976, embodied that philosophy as a luxurious Gran Turismo: long
distances at high speed, with no compromise on comfort or
refinement.
The absolute crown of this range was the M635 CSi (known in some
markets as the M6). This model was developed by BMW Motorsport GmbH
and inherited engineering derived directly from the legendary BMW
M1. Beneath the bonnet sits the naturally aspirated M88/3
straight-six, a high-revving powerplant with individual throttle
bodies that ranked among the most advanced road car engines in the
world in its day. With its razor-sharp throttle response,
mechanical feel and perfect balance, the M635 CSi grew into an icon
among enthusiasts and collectors.
This example from September 1988 belongs to the final and most
fully developed production years of the E24, making it the pinnacle
of BMW's analogue M era.
This particular BMW M635 CSi carries an exceptionally rich
provenance. The car was once owned by the French racing legend
Pierre Maublanc. His name is inseparable from French motorsport,
which makes this M635 CSi not only technically but also
historically compelling. Its French first registration underlines
this authentic origin.
