bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted November 9, 2004 yeah man, 635s are f*cken cool cars, if u want a decent one ur lookin at paying 8-9-10-11, otherwise u'll be makin up for it in the long run anyway. that gold one looks like a good choice, if u get one thats been owned by someone in the bmw car club, it should have been looked after. Make sure you take someone with you off here if ur not too clued up Dont nessacerily go for one with the lower k's too, the M30s are f*cken strong engines, way more than M20s, and are supposed to last way more than 500,000 kms, ive had a few problems with mine, but im thinking thats because i wasnt daily driven, and wen things havnt been used and start getting used alot then bad things sometimes happen. Main thing to look for on them is rust, check pillars for rust repairs to see if its had any before, then check sills, boot, gaurds etc, look under carpet if u can. Try and get a 635csi, anything under will be slow. Also try and get the high compression motor (which ive got ), which has compression 10:1 instead of the low compression 8:1, HP wise the high compression puts out 218hp to the low compression 180hp, you can usually tell by looking at the exhaust, near the back of the exhaust near the manifold, if its low compression it should have a catalyic converter (small box) or if its high it wont have one, itll have a resonator there instead (someone off here should be able to tell you when you go for a look) Advantages of the low compression motor means you can turbo it with the TCD kit. sparkle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted November 9, 2004 hmm....think of the petrol they're not actually that bad, i know mines not, uses probably less gas on the open road than a M20, and it looks like nath is travelling quite a bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
