Early UK 633CSi with unusual (?) body kit

Post by Pod »

I was watching this one close to me with interest (fortunately it has been withdrawn from ebay.........).

I have not seen this style of body kit before. Am I correct, or is it just a rare option?

Since the listing pictures will likely disappear from eBay soon, here they are. I've only uploaded the exterior shots. If anyone wants the interior and engine compartment shots, say so.

Not sure where they're from, but based on my limited experience it's probably some aftermarket pieces. I has a 77 320i that i put on a plastic front piece to replace the bumper and added a spoiler, as well as an aftermarket rear deck spoiler. My guess is there were a lot of them in the 80's from various manufacturers. Looks neat , though.
The 320i was a nice ride, you could pull the air pump, thermal reactor, plug the holes in the manifold with bolts and get some HP and still pass inspection.

Pretty sure the front air dam is from Zender, not sure about the side and rear skirts, however :-k

Not sure if I like the idea of a bumper cover that would likely get very easily damaged [-X

To each his or her own, I guess =D>

In fact it was the rear bumper arrangement which I noticed. I quite like the look of it and must admit I was trying to persuade myself I didn't need another E24 (although I've never owned a 633 :wink: ). Still, it sold pretty quickly which made the decision for me!

Now, I wonder when "The Beast" will re-emerge..........................
