    I started up my '85 635csi today after 2 years of storage

    With a new battery, it is back to life!!! First start, dies after a few seconds, 2nd start was good and on.

    I cannot wait to take it for a spin again this summer. I missed it, the sound of a 6-cylinder engine is just so smooth...

    See pics from when I first got it in '96 and to when I placed in in storage in March of 2002 when I got the '89M3.

        That 6 is sweet! You should look into some european chrome bumpers for it. It'll improve the lines a lot!

                          It runs very smooth. Average power, very heavy car. Almost 4,000 lbs.

                          I'd say the car probably runs about .50-75 seconds faster than stock 1/4 with 18's.

                          Even with NOS, it is a big car to pull. I just made it more fun to drive. ;)
