The stripe on the lower front spoiler would not be correct for your M635CSi and I wouldn't add it (the stripe is also not original to car photographed earlier in the thread). The lower front stripe was always and only used in conjunction with cars with the Slimline stripe and never the Dekor stripe.

This pic is from the archives at BMW klassik.Clearly visible is the lower front stripe and the Dekor stripes. The same car appears in the 1985 ///M635 sales brochure. Perhaps this scheme was for press cars or special order. Either case, there is precedent.:alright:

Thanks for posting up this good information on the striping on these cars! I'll be sure GaAlpinaOwner, who bought my car several months ago, sees it.

Yep I got to have that... ;)

I will post new updated pics soon as I replaced the suspension with Bil Sports and H&R springs to slightly lower it and have the front light washers working. Car looks and handles amazing.

BMW Mobile Tradition also shows the (NLA) front stripe as an option in coordination with the dekor stripes. Warning: the drawing shows an e30 which is a little confusing.
