I have never done a barn find restoration ever before, but when i got offered this E24nBMW 635csi for cheap i took the chance! The car has been left in a barn for many years with no known reason on why it wouldnt start. After buying it i went through the process of trying to get in started! This is going to be one hell of a projet but i cant wait to show you what i have planned for it.

I am 70 now but when I was a young man in the 1980s I worked at a BMW dealership and got to drive those things. I had a blast driving the wheels off the 635M but the 633i was a better drivers car, it was lighter and more nimble than that big shed. I am interested to see how you get on with it, there looks like rust will be a problem, good luck young man!

Hi Mat. I had a problem with an ECU a few years ago. £700 for a replacement and nobody was prepared to check or look at the ECU. I gave it to a TV repair man as a last resort. He checked it and found that somebody had put the wrong polarity to it. It burnt out 15mm of track and blew a transistor. He resoldered the track and replaced the transistor. No other damage to ECU because the blown transistor prevented the current travelling any further. Total cost....£13.50.....brilliant.

Great cars! I owned a 635 CSI 30 years ago now, one of my favourites out of all the cars I’ve had since. Even back then they suffered rust after a few years and I had gearbox (4 speed switchable auto) problems, one issue was a speed sensor on the output of the gearbox, it’d put the car in to a limp mode. It wasn’t a bad auto and when these are running correctly they are quite a quick car. I had mine on a rolling road and it made the numbers ok.

Hey I'm really glad you're doing an old car too. In 1995 I bought a 1976 BMW 2002tii in bright yellow. Heavy but quick. I drove it on Castle Comb and was featured in a classic car magazine. I had lots of mods done to it in Hastings but the monthly running and repairs were more than my mortgage. It broke down too often and I had a baby at the time and needed something problem free so I replaced it with a Sierra. Now I drive a mk2 AUDI TT. That baby is now 29 and can drive my TT. She lives in Berlin. And BTW I was one of the first people to ever drive a TT in Bavaria at the factory and in the countryside around Munich.

I can hear the fuel pump, waterpump, the correct manual is the dog leg left reverse getrag box... You will need a new flywheel to install and the trust bearing. Also change the timing chain and rails. The autobox is probably ok, just top it up and change the filter before you do the manual conversion. Some of these motors had a problem with crankahaft end float so the crankshaft pulley would shake itself loose. To bleed the cooling system its one 3rd coolant in that 12.8 litre system. Also check the airfilter and clean the idle valve using brake cleaner.

I used to have one of these and it was fantastic, reg. no SEC111M, but recent searches suggest it too is now scrapped. But in in 1987 the RS500 came out and I p/ex the BMW, the Ford was an incredible beast at the time, put it never had the quality of the CSI. My 635 was manual with 1st on the dog leg, but for me (and we're all different), I think the auto would be my choice, so I'd only consider a gearbox swap if the auto proved to be faulty.

Really exciting to see you have a proper classic in the garage. Look forward to the next video and to see the long term plans.

That’s awesome! Great find! I still remember 6 Series was brand new on showroom. The 6 series is my bucket list to own one. Specifically hard find M6 cars. Back then champagne gold is one of good color choice and I loved VW scirocco (gen 2) in champagne gold but I had tornado red. As you know by now OBDI car is still easy to own one and easy to maintain. I couldn’t wait how this project is finish.
