Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to show you guys my 1985 635csi euro that I bought off of BaT in early October. I saw it the first day it went up for auction and commented that it was a beautiful shark, then didn't think anything else about it. I was looking for another e30 just have fun in but my good friend Dave (who has restored two euro e24s) kept pushing me to bid on it. I started looking at the pictures and really liked it but it had a ton of miles. Dave kept telling that it had all the right stuff done to it and that I should buy it. The more I looked the more I liked it; euro with a dogleg, tons of upgrades and recent maintenance including all new AC, new stainless exhaust, new brakes, and rebuilt suspension. I had a budget of $25k, the auction ended on a Sunday morning - which I would have hated if I was the seller. In the final bidding, there were two of us going for it, I placed my last bid at $23,500 and won the auction. When I connected with the seller (who was incredible to work with), I asked him if it looked as good in person as it did in the pictures, he said 'yes it does'. When the car showed up, I couldn't believe how good the paint was (repainted in 2011) and was pleasantly surprised how nice the interior was too. The body is a straight as I've ever seen with zero rust. I had a euro e24 before with very low miles - this is a better car - people have loved and babied it.
Since it I got it; I've rebuilt the BBS RSs with deeper staggered lips, I removed the tint which was a major PITA, added euro stripes, reworked the exhaust tips, and added Coco Mats.
Hope you like it.
