The BMW 635 CSi: An Iconic Classic of the 80s
The BMW 635 CSi, part of the E24 generation, was produced between 1976 and 1989. This model is a prime example of BMW's engineering and design prowess in the late 70s and 80s. Developed under the leadership of chief designer Paul Bracq, the 635 CSi represented the pinnacle of the sports luxury class. The car was fitted with a 3.5-liter straight-six engine, delivering 218 horsepower and propelling the car to a top speed of around 225 km/h (140 mph). The engine could be paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 3-speed automatic transmission, providing impressive acceleration.

It is a modified version from the collection of Modelly member "Bmw-M-Fan," not representing the original iteration as produced by Minichamps. With attention to detail, this model has been altered to highlight some unique features of the original. Particularly noteworthy are the meticulously replicated grille, dual headlights, and distinctive front bumpers that give the car its characteristic look.
Special Features and Technical Data of the BMW 635 CSi
A notable technical feature of the BMW 635 CSi was the introduction of the Motronic engine management system by Bosch. This electronic fuel injection system ensured more precise engine control, leading to enhanced performance and better fuel efficiency. The BMW 635 CSi was a direct successor to the BMW E9 and featured significant improvements in body structure and chassis stability. It's interesting to note that in 1984, the song "Purple Rain" by Prince was released, and the Olympic Games took place in Los Angeles, reflecting the era in which this car was originally built.
