I flew to Phoenix from LA and planned to drive it back to Los Angeles. Halfway through the drive, the drive belt snapped and I was stranded for a night in Desert Center. After getting the car back to LA I decided to restore the car above and beyond what a sane person might do, with $49,785.04 of work overall completed during my ownership. The car did not necessarily need all of this work, but I wanted to push the limits of what was possible while still maintaining the comfortable drive of this 635CSi. The original owner also took very good care of the car. Includes all service records since 1985!

Love E24's.... do you have more interior pics?
Thanks, I will be taking a more in depth photoshoot soon. There are also more interior photos in the original BAT auction I linked in my original post - interior condition is pretty much the same as then.
Beautiful car and you’ve made plenty of upgrades that put it in a different category than a typical used E24. I hope you get your asking price but if you don’t, think about holding onto it. Replacing it with something equally special won’t be easy, considering all the work you’ve done.

Thank you. I agree the car is special and the amount of work put in to it typically is found in someone's "forever car". However life circumstances change and I haven't really had the time to enjoy this car as much as it should be. I have a collection that I'm downsizing. Hopefully someone out there will see the value!
