BMW 635 CSi - The joy of shifting gears

April 17, 2022 — Paul Krüger 55

Does the transmission determine the character of a car or does the character determine the transmission? Some people don't like automatic transmissions because they find them unsportsmanlike and sluggish. Others swear by the convenience of the automatic gearbox and would never dream of going to the trouble of changing gear themselves. We dared to try it out for ourselves and asked two BMW 635 CSi models to take part in a "comparison test" - guaranteed to be free of scientific claims and precise measuring methods.

Their names were BMW 635 CSI, BMW M3 E30 and M3 DTM and M4 DTM respectively. And they couldn't be more different. This report compares the early DTM racing cars from BMW with their modern successors and illustrates the differences with lots of pictures

BMW M635 CSi versus BMW-Alpina B7 Turbo - Battle of the engine concepts

February 15, 2018 — Bruno von Rotz 80

In the mid-1980s, the BMW M 635 CSi and the Alpina B7 Turbo Coupé were the fastest ways to drive a BMW Granturismo. As similar as they were on the outside, they went completely different ways under the hood: four-valve versus turbo technology. Even back then, the automotive world was interested in which was better. This driving report compares the top coupés from BMW and Alpina and shows them in many photos.

BMW 635 CSi - beautiful views

February 24, 2016 — Bruno von Rotz 121

No other model series was produced by BMW for longer than the E24, built as the 628 CSi, 630 CS, 633 CSi, 635 CSi and M 635 CSi. The coupé, designed by Paul Bracq, proved to be timeless in terms of form and could be continuously refined technically. The performance increased by half, while the price more than doubled. Today, the elegant coupé is considered a classic, but one that is still waiting to be discovered. This report portrays a late coupé with catalytic converter, traces the history of its development and shows all models in many historical photos.
