The professionally fabricated stainless steel front wings sound very interesting .

Yes, I was wondering about them too!

Hey Pod. This £4k retrim you refer to.
Do you know who did it, what the work was like and how satisfied the customer was?

It was an M635CSi, advertised and sold on ebay sometime earlier this year. I think it was a Green car? We discussed it on this Forum.

This came from a very late Highline car and is in excellent condition. Black Leather. Electric sports seats with wiring loom. Everything included except the headlining. This means 2 front sports seats; 2 rear seats; centre armrest; rear parcel shelf with headrests and premium speakers in the pods; d...

Point being is that at the right price, tyhis should be bought if even to be put on the shelf to use in a complete future rebuild. it is a rare enough item .

An engine should have a complete rebuild around it.

I’m going by what the VIN number states. A check of the VIN through BMW VIN Decoder, as well as my local BMW main dealer, says “Shadowline kit” which I am assuming is the Shadowline exterior trim? Please correct me if I am wrong.

What are the last three digits of the VIN?

Spot on!

So its #322. Sharkfan was eerily right

Tried that Ron. Interesting........................................ Had a look on Companies House website. They are actually named "Motorsure Ltd". Also looked at their trading website. They certainly have some exotic cars for sale. WRT the M635CSi, plenty of pics - and it doesn't look too bad. The ...

Up for £30K. With dealer. Says its been fully restored.

An interesting read. Such a shame you have been unable to complete the project. This will make one very interesting car once it’s completed!

It will be interesting to hear what work you have had to do to sort this car out. When I looked at its test history over here, it didn't look good - neither did the pics posted on the auction site!

It was bid to £4,100

I can't believe the way this auction is going. Crazy Price

Hope somebody who has actually painted a car can give me some help here. No opinions, please, unless you know for sure what you are talking about! I've bought a1985 E24 barn find (20+ years) with incredibly good bodywork (virtually no rust :wink: ). I have done a few necessary bits and pieces and am...

Absolutely amazing thread. I've not seen it before, but read it through all in one go - probably the best way to see how your project progressed. Keep up the good work!

Welcome to the Forum, Nigel! Looking forward to seeing the photos of your car.

My thoughts are with you, Ken (and also Nigel). Hope everything is resolved when you have the surgery.

Looks like you've got yourself a peach of a car! Welcome to the forum.

Very interesting. I've never noticed that either. Seems strange that BMW didn't include an adaptor in the toolkit to aid jacking at these locations?

Incredible that nobody over here recognises such a fine looking motor! I've never seen it before......................

Thanks Ron. I sold one of this (with manual etc) a few months before getting my project just to clear it out of the loft - I had it repaired and adapted to take an input - £60! Blaupunkt-2.jpg Isn't it amazing how often one sells a part which has been hanging around for years - only to need it a fe...

Linky please?

I've gone through my ebay purchases but cannot find it. However the one posted appears identical!

Title says it all. Preferably in black and in SE England. Thanks.

It just shows how variable the UK market is, doesn't it?

From the appearance of the car, one would have thought it would have fetched North of £20k. So either it had significant problems, or else somebody got a real steal of a deal here!

After all the discussion and opinions, can you let us know what it sold for please?
