ssbmw 217 Report post Posted May 14, 2019 Here’s another super rare classic from the 80’s for sale. One of approximately 20 that arrived in NZ brand new in the 80’s. I saw this for sale in 2008/2009 in Hamilton for $28k. Apart from the wheels, notice anything that is distinctly non- original? https://trademe.nz/motors/cars/bmw/m6/listing/2018549347 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Headunit, M badge on rear, and whatever is tacked on the side of the center console. I also wonder, did these come with dogleg boxes?

ssbmw 217 Report post Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Not quite what i was getting at but well done. What stopped me from doing a deal on the car 10 years ago was the colour. The owner at the time was a retired prestige paint shop owner who bought the car from an insurance company sale as it was stolen- circa early 1990’s. He hated the original (cosmos blue- which is a light blue/ silver colour). So he painted it Traum Schwarz- which is a dark green/black. Which is a very rare colour- that saw itself on Z1’s. It was a nice car otherwise- but the non original colour bothered me. Cosmos blue was pretty cool in my opinion. Yes, looks like head unit was replaced too- very rarely do you see them original any more!!!! Edited May 14, 2019 by ssbmw Extra info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssbmw 217 Report post Posted May 14, 2019 The plain m badge was standard on the m635csi. Despite it being a fully fettled M car, the m influences were subtle- m on the rear and front grill, m steering wheel, and M under the tachometer. Even the gear shift by factory had no tri colour branding- unlike the E28 M5 that had more distinctive m branding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssbmw 217 Report post Posted May 14, 2019 No dogleg - they appeared on the early left hand drive examples possibly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 4016 Report post Posted May 15, 2019 When they reassembled it after painting (presumably) they installed the side indicators on the wrong sides of the car... Common mistake on e36's as well (indeed they're the same design). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssbmw 217 Report post Posted May 15, 2019 To be fair, not sure the 18” wheels look right. A nice set of staggered 17” style 5’s would add to the look! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
