Such a great video. Loved listening to the presenter talk enthusiastically about the CSI. Never knew it had a strong pedigree on the track, since all you hear about is the M3 e30. It’s such a beautiful car, Thank you so much!
In Switzerland there is a Fella who raced his Original Group 2 635CSI on Hillclimb Events and still does occasionaly. A blast to watch that Car especially the Brutal Sound of it!
I’ve had a Euro 635 and “need” to sell it to get an M635 and just can’t bring myself to do it. It’s not a speedy car like the M..But it’s just so purely perfect and also I know it is durable and reliable. It’s the body shape and the noises that really do it for me. Long live all the sharks ! 👍
Sopme great insights into driving such a classic touring car racer. However, I feel I need to point out that the 'other class' Sam mentioned are from an older set of regulations - not younger (group 2, 1970-1981).
Won the first DTM in 1984 and apart from these three drivers of the original unit, others like Jean-Michel Martin, father of Máxime, also raced it with good results...
I'd say good results would be an understatement.

Hell, yeah. Driving a 635CSi is always a treat; a privilege, that feels like you're in something special, doing something special. I imagine the owners of any fine Automobiles or Motorcycles know the feeling. You feel like you're lucky & it's good to be alive. They attract admiring looks everywhere you go, and flattering comments anywhere you stop. And owning an E24 6 Series isn't difficult or expensive....Like all premium German cars of that era, they are over engineered and built like tanks. They come from the generation prior to airbags and just before electronics in vehicles underwent a significant evolutionary leap in which they became far more complex & pervasive with features like Fly-By-Wire throttles, Sat-Nav, Stability, Traction, & Torque Control, and more. Despite being fuel injected and sporting some very basic electronics & gadgets, if optioned with them, like electric seats, sunroof, windows, & mirrors, due to their mid-1970's roots they still feel Old Skool "Analogue", and more like a real car, not a mobile computer station or social media platform. As long as you observe proper service & maintenance practices and look after the beasts, most consumable parts are no more expensive than a Ford or GM car, and because of their solid engineering, any instances of expensive components that require replacement occur infrequently unless you drive your cars mercilessly hard like a madman, in which case ANY car will exhibit expensive failures, and you can only blame yourself. I wouldn't sell my 635CSi's for any price, and have declined lucrative & interesting offers to trade my cars for other exotic & desirable vehicles of greater value. Once you get hooked on them, it's a hard habit to kick!

Jürg Dürig?
For me the best looking Beemer ever
Ring Bimmer we had a JPS liveried one racing here in NZ, looked stunning.
I think the E9 3.0CS Looks amazing as well
@@Birb_of_Judge yesss
@@Birb_of_Judge And the E31 8 Series as well
Big thanks for bringing all these cars back to life. Great stuff.

What a superlative machine, an absolutely superior design and technique
Isn't the 635CSi (and the E24 in general) already one of the greats itself?
Definitely, e24s and e23s drive so well
M3 GTR:)

The Bavarian Ferrari. Wonderful cars - and (in roadgoing trim) I have one living very close to me!

XTimServoX I wasn’t trying to be smart-ass, but ok...
I’m dying to know who they got that much power out of an m30 engine
This car is like younger brother of Mercedes Red Pig:)
it compares.... when Weber's DCOE are installed
why it has two filler necks?
What group of race car is this group a ?
Yeah, Group A.
Yes it is.
Is the 635 CS worth it ?
Hell, yeah.

Huh, it's running with the standard SOHC engine rather than the M88 engine.
Nice 👍🏻
1987 last good BMW's. Plastics designed to deteriorate thereafter. Sad. Guess manufacturers need cars to self destruct to sell more.
Am i first ?
What does he mean by the e9 is younger? It was made in the 70s compared to the 80s 6er
Classic 6 series: handsome n reliable
Modern 6 series: boring and hopeless 💸💸💸💸💸
The version here is one of the world's great cars. The modern version is just a piece of modern anonymity.
@@paulcaswell2813 how bout all the modern BMWs , excluding the M3,M4 and M5
Not keen on any! E30 M3 is to die for, however - especially in GpA rally nick!
