1978 BMW (E24) 633 CSI

KEY FACTS

• A smart example from the first generation of the 6-series, with an attractive colour scheme and a comprehensive engine overhaul.
• It is equipped with the 3.2-litre ‘M30’ straight-six, producing around 197bhp and 210lb-ft of torque, coupled with a five-speed manual transmission.
• Since the engine work in 2011, it has undergone regular servicing and has been very well-preserved.
• Believed to be an original German-market car, it now resides in Italy.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The car retains its original cream leather upholstery, though the Rust Red Metallic paintwork was resprayed in 2011, and an aftermarket Kenwood stereo has been installed.
• The original service station guide and toolkit will accompany the car, along with recent maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• The Rust Red Metallic finish is in great condition, presenting with a few light stone chips on the front end.
• A couple of small blemishes can be seen on the chrome wing mirrors and bumpers.
• The 14-inch wheels have minor kerb grazes and some bubbling in the paint, but they could easily be refurbished.
• Inside, the original cream leather upholstery has creases, slight surface cracking and discolouration on the driver’s seat, and other age-related wear across the rest of the upholstery, commensurate with the age.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent scheduled maintenance since was in 2020, while in 2019, the fuel injectors were replaced. The engine was fully overhauled in 2011, and since then similar routine servicing has been carried out regularly, with the addition of a new clutch tie rod in 2016, new tyres in 2013 and new throttle bushings in 2012.
