Amazing video , I'm Subscribing right now ! The E24s are my favorite series of BMW, today's 6er lacks the emotion , style and status the E24s had. The M635 CSi is truly a dream car of mine.
Thanks always useful to get some feedback, we will try and get some engine noise on the next film! We are having a brilliant week at Essen and are really looking forward to sharing some of the fantastic cars we have had the chance to see.
of course the E24 being a very well maintained example , it holds its ground very well against the other gentleman's e63 650i. now when it comes to performance , the 650i hands down is the better obviously. i just rather older BMWs . in fact i almost sold my 99' e36 328i convertible so i could buy myself a e24 M6 that needed a little TLC. but i decided not too because not only is the e36 my first BMW it's also my 21st birthday gift from my parents so i value that car alot.
someday i do plan on owning a E24 M6 , but i'm focusing on getting myself my first M car for mostly track use , preferably a E36 M3 coupe. sorry i did not mean to make a simple answer so lengthy . :)
@BiteDoctor No , but i have driven my far share of E63 6series both the M6 and 650i. I never said the current 6series is bad i just stated what I think of the two. here's a good example, i have two neighbors who own 6ers , one gentleman owns a e63 650i coupe ( LCI ) in black (gorgeous car) and the other guy owns a e24 635CSi in black also . that e24 just get's me everytime i can't help but to stare at it , it creates some sort of a unique emotion that isnt felt when i look at the e63
@Terre328 Im sorry, did you ever own a E63 6er to actually know anything about its emotion, style or status? I own both the E24 and E63 M6 and I can tell you they are both awesome in their own way.
Is it that being a car salesman automatically means that you have to lie? If he was around the car from the day one, I'm sure he would have noticed the beautiful, hard-to-get, hard-to-keep-mint, ORIGINAL, chrome mirrors!!! So where are they on this car? Oh, right, smashed and then replaced by later model, or even worse, repaired and resprayed... "Everything except the wheels is absolutely original" my ass! There are couple of other small mismatching details, but that would really be nitpicking!
If this guy actually ran the engine more than he runs his mouth, this video would be way more interesting. enough with the exemplary, exquisite, masterful, adjectives already. nice example of an e24 though.
This man is always on point. His descriptions never disappoint, always enjoys these vids very much!
Very Cool!

Back in the day the exchange rate was about 3 DMs per £.
13000 DMs would have been about £4300, which was a lot of money in '86 or so.
Thanks. M3 video to follow soon.

My apologies then. BMW M Registry says the same thing... Hm, it means that the best e24m I've ever seen didn't have its original mirrors...
It´s a V10?
Really ?
It's an in-line 6.
Wikipedia has all the info.
The e63 has the v10 :)
