- THE PROJECT
- As an enthusiast of BMW automobiles, I prepared this website as a kind of "documentary" of my project this past
year of restoring and improving one example of a piece of BMW history. Refer to the various sections to see the details and
photos of the work done.
- THE BASICS
- The car is a 1988 model year 635CSi with automatic transmission and 178000 miles on the clock. It is the last version of the
model line so it has the smaller bumpers with body colored side valences and the engine is the last evolution with the highest power. The color is Cirrusblau metallic, and the leather interior is Silvergray.
- The engine runs strong and idles smoothly. It passed the California smog test easily and it doesn't use any oil. The transmission is the 4-speed electronic and it shifts smoothly. All fluids and filters are new.
- THE IMPROVEMENTS
The car looks like new. All of the body trim was removed, any imperfections fixed, and after sanding and prep, the car was painted in the original Cirrusblau color. Many trim parts are new, including the kidney grilles and the rear euro
spoiler. The bumpers have been powdercoated silver. The car has the "halfline" interior - everything except for the instrument panel and upper side panels is leather covered, including the center console. The leather is in excellent
condition, the driver's seat and passengers seat cushion have been recovered. Anything needing attention has been restored and dyed to match. All of the electric seat
functions work. Radio, heater, cruise control, and sunroof all work.
Mechanically the car drives like new. The engine has received new ignition system parts and starter. The suspension has been completely renewed: springs, shocks, all bushings, control arms, tie rods and center link. The SLS
systems was removed and mild lowering springs were installed to give the car the right stance. The wheels and tires are new. The brakes have been renewed and upgraded from the master cylinder to the wheels, including
larger rotors and calipers. The drivetrain has been renewed with a new driveshaft and upgraded with at 4.10 LSD differential. All fluids and filters are new throughout.
