Motorsport 635csi

 Thanks, but i think i will keep the money you know as well as me we need it all for petrol

Well as a guy who has been driving these cars for the last ten years or so, with at least 5 different models, the one that I would look for is the car manufactured between January and April 1987. They have most of the advantages of the Highline and no plastic/alloy bumpers.

Mine always seemed to go a bit quicker than the others. However, as I am now stuck with a 1988 Highline with 35K on the clock, (did 139 mph with four up in a run against a Merc in Germany last year) and a beat up M6 with 22.5K which is a little faster than that, I don't think that I will be in the market for a long time.

They are all great cars, and chrome or plastic, 635 or M635, they still go round Croft in under two minutes, and do Rotterdam to Tihany in Hungary in 12 hours 3 up.
Good enough for me!

I have to agree with Howard's choice- Mine's an early '87 with the half-decent highline style brakes, chrome bumpers, and retaining the high compression engine. I like it a lot. (It'll be even better when I've finished it). 

I've never had mine maxed out, but I've seen some big numbers, including an indicated 100mph in second gear (that'll be the switchable auto with the 3.07 diff then).

I didn't go out looking for an auto, but I bought this one thinking I might change it for a 'proper' gearbox later. Now I'm not sure I'll bother; where I'd only rate an old-style auto box as good enough for 5/10ths efforts, the I rate the switchable auto box as good enough for 8/10ths efforts on the throttle and 7/10ths efforts round corners and on the brakes. This is no good on the race-track, but matches ideally with the sort of 'press-on' driving that is occasionally possible on the road, and is high praise coming from someone like me who would otherwise heel and toe out of habit and has pointedly refused to have anything to do with several vehicles where the pedals weren't set out 'just so'.

 I'd agree that they are all great cars too.....

cheers

oh yes.......

 

why does this motorsport appear to not attract any bids at all?

ah, that'll be it then!
