BMW 635 CSI hillclimb: Time For Tea?
The 340i represents the newest straight-six BMW, so here's a celebration of days gone by
It's one of those nutty European hill climbs, the ones that snake their way up spectacular mountains and through verdant forests at obscene speeds. To help matters sections of the climb are wet. Really wet. But that doesn't deter our 635 CSI driver Jurg Durig Gurnigel. It's a superb display of car control, right up to and including the huge moment at 3:00. The noise is fabulous, the car looks brilliant and the speed is exhilarating. Put the kettle on and enjoy!

The European Course de Cote/Bergrennen? scene is just packed-to-the-gills with AMAZING metal - there's tonnes of material on Youtube, everything from Touring Classics though Group B rally cars to more modern Touring Cars, bespoke hillclimbers - some crazy stuff - but none of them seem to have working clutches or much faith in 1st gear (motability scooters will take them off-the-line!)
Great stuff, there just isn't a sound like a competition straight six.
This is what that very same engine can become with some modified internals and a 24V head - best sounding BMW ever made in my opinion...
