RE: SOTW Special: BMW 635 CSi

[matt21]

After 2 years off the road I have bought this of Jon. He's right, it's bloody cool. Picked it up last night, and trailered it to our barn where it is now tucked up safe and sound.

Before we did this had an opportunity to run it up and down the drive of the farmer who we rent the barn off, it's great!

Needs some work for mot, but plan to put it in soon to find what exactly needs doing. We can then begin to slowly get this back up to new condition.

If anyone knows anything about B456 YUL from before 2009 let me know, keen to track down its history.

A new thread to come shortly......

Glad it'll be refurbished, is the plan still to convert it to a manual?

[matt21]

Will need to see how big a job this is.

Will get it back on the road first

Old thread, but I know the status of B456YUL. I have all the service history in front of me

Is it your old car? Is she still on the road?

She was having rust problems when I moved her on

Hi Jon it is for sale local to me in Liverpool. It has some rust issues yes but not too bad! When did you shift her and at what approx mileage?

[matt21]

I bought B456 YUL off Jon in 2013. Managed to get it back on the rood, major cost was needing a new exhaust, the rest was ok, although rust was always a bit of an issue.

Ran it for a while, very cool car, loved cruising around in it, but didn't use it much, and was worried it would have a big bill. Sold it on after a 1-2 years.

Do you have a link to the for sale ad?
