1985 EURO 635 CSI Diamantschwarz

Post by RTHLSS1 »

Hi guys,

I have some spare time so I decided to share the progress of my "project" 1985 e24 635 CSI.

I bought the car in Italy in March 2019. Was not really buying e24 but the car was so solid I had to. We basically went to Italy, Treviso in Februar to purchase w201 190e 2.3.

And the owner had shown me e24 that he bought for himself - I said in case he would be selling I would buy it. 1 month later he called me and I went to purchase my first e24.

Car was running bad only on 3-4 cylinders. Chassis was super solid, not a single spot of rust. Roof had small dent and all around small scuffs or dents. Interior in superb condition no cracks in leather or dash, headliner perfect. Only then I realized the odometer was showing only 84.000km. Prior to the present owner there were 2 owners and the present owner owned the car only a few months never drove it since purchase probably because they could not solve why it was not running on all 6 cylinders.

Before that car had been sitting since 2000 and was confirmed with the last registration/inspection from papers. First owner bought the car from BMW Arcar Srl in Cremono, Italy in 1986 - data from original owners book. Sadly only a few services are marked in the service book. Second owner bought the car in 1997 and drove it until 2000. Last service reported was in 1999 with 75.100km.

Once the car was in the garage oil service was done, fuel filter, fuel pump, sparks were replaced and we realized the injectors were jammed. Injectors were replaced and the car ran fine for a day then injectors got jammed again. Problem was in the fuel tank. Due to sitting for so long with some gas in the tank it started to rust inside. We installed a new fuel tank - replaced fuel filter and pump again, cleaned injectors and added extra fuel filter in engine bay to prevent remaining rust from fuel system to get into injectors. Valves were adjusted and the car ran fine so I went for the first short drive.

I wanted to replace the dented grill and realize almost all used ones are dented and new ones are NLA. So I restored mine and bought around 20 sets more restored and sold them worldwide - that was before used ones got too expensive to restore for resale.

In 2021 I got the opportunity to buy another great example of 1988 635CSI from USA - LA. Car was super solid - rust free. I drove it in summer and then sold it to Hungary. If it would be manual I would keep it. But the automatic really does not fit in this car for me. I don't have anything against automatic. I love it in my e31.

In 2021 I decided the car needs a full repaint to shine in all its glory. Stripping for a paint job began.

Paint job was finished and the car was transported to my garage to finish it.


Although the interior was in nice condition I wanted to have Mtech seats as well. I had 2 sets e30 M tech seats. My friend has e24 with m tech seats so I measured both e30 and e24 seats and the dimensions of the seats are the same, the only difference is in rails. I made custom rail adapters to fit e30 seats in e24 and will take photos once I install them.

Differential with lsd from an e28 will come from the USA in March so plan is to install that as well.

Another oil service will be done (I use 20w-50 in my e9 m30 so will use it in e24 as well), brake/coolant flush, fan clutch will be replaced just to be sure,new sparks and spark cables.

Sadly the rear emblem (that costs a fortune) fits like shit (and yes I bought the correct one for e24). Old one fits fine.

Wow, impressive work indeed =D>

I have a question for you regarding the reworking of the center kidney grills :-?

Are they polished or chromed :-k

If they are polished, can you please elaborate on the process that you used [-o<

Once again, great work, keep it up, and welcome to the madness \:D/

Edit: forgot to mention that one of the locals was looking at a severely pitted set for $170 USD, told him to forget about it, but maybe not :-"

Please let us know your thoughts on pricing, Euro is fine 8)

Thank you!

Grill frames are chromed. I was buying them mostly from Germany or Poland. Price per pair for 100-120€ max. All bent some more some less. I straightened them on my own than had them de galvanized, polished and chromed. Was selling them for 250-350€ depends on how good they were refurbished and condition of plastic and gaskets.

To polish them only there is no need to de galvanize them just do work on polish machine after layer of galavnization is grinded off. I had this process done on e9 grill but it does not last so long.

From factory grills on e24 and e9 as well were anodized not chromed.

Wow, great work! This is going to look 10/10 when you’re done.

I need to learn how to fix my own dented kidneys.
