The silky smooth inline six pulls well, considering that it\u2019s only making about 215 horsepower.  Even with new rubber and new  struts, the 6 series isn\u2019t the best track day car; remember, you\u2019re dealing with over 2 tons of sheetmetal here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/ebay-deal-of-the-week-1984-bmw-635csi-for-8995\/fvzicgbmekgrhqeokiuetjoylrr5bljv783i6g_4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39619\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fvziCgBmEKGrHqEOKiUEtjoYlrr5BLjv783I6g_4-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"1984 BMW 635CSi\" title=\"!!fvziCgBmE~$(KGrHqEOKiUEtjoYlrr5BLjv783I6g~~_4\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-39619\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/ebay-deal-of-the-week-1984-bmw-635csi-for-8995\/fvzh8qbwekgrhquh-euett50vhjjbljv6zrd_4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39620\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fvzh8QBWEKGrHqUH-EUEtt50vHjjBLjv6zr+D_4-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"1984 BMW 635CSi\" title=\"!!fvzh8QBWE~$(KGrHqUH-EUEtt50vHjjBLjv6zr+D!~~_4\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-39620\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Still, the single overhead cam, 12 valve motor was pretty robust and featured (if I remember correctly) a timing chain instead of a less durable timing belt.  Parts won&#8217;t be cheap, but regular service should be no problem for a competent shade tree mechanic.  If the car looks as good in person as it does in the pics, it should give the new owner years of relatively trouble-free enjoyment.  For a sub-$9k investment, would you rather drive a used Hyundai or a classic BMW?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/6heLk2UM_wIMRJ_Wq3dZvmaLIlw\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/6heLk2UM_wIMRJ_Wq3dZvmaLIlw\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/6heLk2UM_wIMRJ_Wq3dZvmaLIlw\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/6heLk2UM_wIMRJ_Wq3dZvmaLIlw\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve got a soft spot in your heart for these big Bavarian GT cars like I do, you may want to have a look at this example, up for sale on eBay.
