• BMW 635 CSi with automatic transmission
• Original Alpinweiß (146) colour
• Very low mileage of just 34,681 km

• Sold under the VAT scheme (6%)

The BMW 635 CSi (E24) is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful Grand Tourers ever built by BMW. Its elegant lines, long bonnet and legendary inline-six engine make it a true classic. Combined with the smooth 3.4-litre M30 inline-six engine and automatic transmission, it offers an exceptionally comfortable and characterful driving experience, ideal for long journeys and relaxed touring.

This example was first registered on 14 July 1986 and is finished in its original BMW Alpinweiß (146) colour, as confirmed by the original BMW colour sticker. With an indicated mileage of just 34,681 km, the car remains in a good original, unrestored condition and presents very well. The interior is beautifully original, with carpets in excellent condition. The car is supplied with Japanese registration documents, an E705 document and a Belgian Car-Pass, ensuring a transparent history. It is sold under the Belgian VAT scheme (6%), which may offer an attractive fiscal advantage. As is common with an original classic of this age, a number of technical improvements are recommended, all of which are clearly listed in the accompanying inspection report. Furthermore, this BMW is now 40 years old, making it eligible for historic vehicle status in many European countries, with important fiscal and administrative benefits.

Xavier's quote:

"The BMW 635 CSi is one of the most elegant GT cars BMW has ever built. The legendary M30 inline-six engine, the timeless E24 styling and the exceptionally low indicated mileage of just 34,681 km make this a particularly attractive example for the true enthusiast."
