Funny when you watch Youtube vids, and everyone is so careful to plug the inlet manifolds

Oh the subtle pleasures in life....

Today I have been thinking about this. It's at Hexagon.
I've only ever driven a leggy one but 4000rpm+ in third is a glorious place.

M6 very nice indeed.

Was there ever an actual E24 M6? I thought all were 635i.

There certainly was.

There certainly was.

I stand corrected!

The 635 CSi used the 3.5-litre M30 – this actually formed the basis of the famed Group A touring cars as homologating the M635 CSi was impossible, as it was third more expensive than the 635 and you had to sell 5000, which wasn't going to happen as the 635 was already more expensive than most people's houses.
The M635 CSi used the M88/3 (as did the E28 M5), which was a derivative of the one that powered the M1.

The M635 CSi is a great thing, though not quite as sporty as you might imagine; very much a GT. However, a 635 CSI with the short-ratio box is a fantastic machine, a lot sportier. Drove one on Modern Classics and was rather taken with it. However, the holy grail is this... when I was at Alpina last year they had two identical cars there. The heritage fleet example and one in for restoration.

that is a lovely machine and just love the interior and those recaros, must be fairly rare beasts

My first Sifu had a 635CSi. Dark green. Only travelled in it a couple of times, but was mightily impressed as a 19yo. Amazingly it's still taxed and MOT'ed, although doing very few miles now

Nice, I don’t normally like white cars, but that looks good.

They have some nice stuff there at hexagon.
Not sure which way my imaginary 200k budget would go.
My favourite 911 in a great colour, or for the same money, 2 cars, the xk120 plus the virtually new Evora GT410.
I’m liking those at the moment, about to be discontinued sadly, multi cyl, manual, hydraulic steering, great sound.

Looks like fun. 25k restoration too, 30k seems like a good deal!

Given genuine MK1 Cooper S start around this number I thought reasonable value for something a bit different

There is a a Roark near me with “living wall”

Looks like fun. 25k restoration too, 30k seems like a good deal!

If I had space for that, I would take it in a heartbeat - super rare and would standout even at a Mini meet.
