E24 635 -88 med E34 M5 motor S38B36 m.m!

 

What you are looking at is not a BMW M6, this is a custom 1988 BMW 635 CSi (E24) powered by a E34 BMW M5 engine which happens to be for sale on eBay for.... $250,000!?

The owner is ridiculously long-winded when describing his car on the auction page. But here's the gist of the story (although, I didn't read everything the guy wrote). Apparently the owner was dead-set on creating his perfect BMW. Following many upgrades (body, interior, engine etc), 5 years of his life and roughly a $92,000 net project cost, his vision was complete. Now, for some reason, he thinks maybe he wants to sell it, though he's not sure, and will only accept $250k.

Here is part of Koorosh's (that's the owner) description of how his 6-series came to be:

"My vision was a very powerful E24 which was modern looking and had the performance of today's sport cars without any sacrifice with every day driving reliability. I wanted more power and reliability than what a european M635CSi could offer (286 HP). I chose the most reliable BMW motor ever built, the S38B36 motor out of a 1993 BMW M5 (E34) and with some modifications including larger camshafts to achieve higher compression, thicker head gasket, resurfaced head and new head bolts. I have been able to achieve outstanding performance matching its reliability."

He goes on to note in an update to the listing:

"I decided today that it is not worth parting with my baby for less than $250,000. So the price starts here, regardless of any logic. It's mine and when someone wants it they have to pay my price to get it, period. Otherwise one shall build his/her own."

My thoughts? I think the car does look great but certainly not worth $250k. I think the words "regardless of any logic" sum this up well. Check out the eBay auction page for the whole story.

Kul att du delar med dig av dina ebay-fynd.

Tycker dock avsaknaden av sidolister förstör utseendet markant. Tillsammans med annan osmaklig styling är denna vagn ingen jag skulle fatta tycke för. Men att mycket pengar lagts ner betvivlar jag inte.

Det var snyggt med rensade lister m.m!
Lite överstylad front/bak-stötfångare kanske men ändå fet

Mycket snygg! en E24 635 som kan leva många år till!

Finns länken till ebay?

[Helmut S.]

Såg länken tidigare iaf. Ingen pärla tyvärr. Håller med om att rensade lister förstör utseendet.

Samma sak med t ex en Volvo 850 (av alla bilar). Så fort någon ska dit och kladda med lackade lister (som S/V70 har) drar det ner helhetsintrycket. 

Det absolut värsta som finns är lackerade stänkskydd, var är vitsen. Ser inte klokt ut.

Men nu låter jag lite väl negativ, skulle inte vara fel att ha bilen i sin ägo (efter att man åtgärdat dess plumpar i protokollet). 

Här är en som har förstått vad det handlar om:

Inredningen är ju riktigt fint gjord, men det yttre tycker jag är för mycket.
