Things did get a bit desperate in 633 sales when they released the 635..... |

Blimey, how many "limited edition" varients of the 633 were there? Was this the only way BMW could sell them?

Patrick Eggs later worked for TWR as well. It was via him that I got Raymond's phone number! I'm going to have a dig through some old diaries! |

My Dad knew Raymond back in 1982 when they both worked at BMW in
Bracknell but Raymond departed not long after to do his own thing. I can't think how I got hold of him last time but it was via TWR who are gone now. The 633CSi would have been Anthracite with a silver roof - from the pics the sides are certainly all one colour. TWR also did an XJS around the same time ('78-'79) in a similar scheme with Wolfrace wheels. It looked quite vile...........they were sold via Stratstone (I think) and later ones had a full vinyl roof. Yeeeeuuuuuk! It rings a few bells - around 1996-7 there was a grey 633CSi with a silver roof in Hughes' breakers in Bicester. I had the ECU out of it for a T plate 728i. At the time I had a really lovely Cashmere gold T plate 633CSi Auto and I had a few bits and bobs off it for mine - but it really was a rusted out wreck apart, oddly enough, for the passenger's front wing which was perfect (replaced). I got if grit blasted and sold it to a guy in Slough where the A4 meets the M4. The scrap one was an 'S' plate and the number plate began with WOW which is a Southampton area registration. |

Hello from Holland, I'm also very interested to learn more about this ultra rare 633 CSi. Specially as the car is at least still with us today! Do you perhaps know a way to re-contact him? as I also would like to get in touch with him. I feel he must know a lot about these cars. Or perhaps people like: Patrick Eggs or Peter Beaumont, both of them also worked for BMW Concessionaires in the late '70s. Many thanks and best wishes, Ronald. |

Thanks for the information,just one thing 20 years ago I was driving a 1976 3.0si in anthracite grey and the colour was definately not dark silver on the bottom graduating to light silver on the roof.

'Sorn not due' - but that means it's SORN and off the road. The wheels on
that one are the 7x14 'competition' Mahle BBS that were an option on the M535i and required longer wheel bolts. The colour os Anthracite grey metallic, colour code 55. Raymond Playfoot who produced the mag/ newsletter thingy also worked for TWR when they did the Hallmark - I spoke to him some years ago. Edited by Andyboy |

Careful, now! Sometimes the last owner prior to scrapping doesn't necessarily tick the "scrapped" box in the V5.... |

My information is different but it does show either way that the car has not been scrapped |
