Always wanted a 635CSI, couldn't find a clean manual example that wasn't stupid expensive. Found a clean title 89 635CSI (last year for these) with clean enough exterior and interior to get it going.
Mechanically I have no idea what I am getting myself into, other than the M30B35 engine that I am very familiar with. It's a bit of a gamble with it being automatic, that's one thing I am really worrying about. Previous owner said REAR A/C works better than the front, will have to dig into it. It was a runner until it "died" and then it was parked for about a year, tomorrow I'll find out if there more fees that are due with DMV than what the seller told me and what the title shows.
Dropped it off at a local independent BMW/MB shop for inspection/diagnostics to see what I've gotten myself into LOL
Impulse buy, no clue what it will need other than what I am seeing
- battery
- driver seat leather is worn
- driver side inside door panel need to be fixed
- inner driver side door lock handle
- center console switch panel
- rear speaker/parcel shelf
- clear coat
