Nice car , i remember seeing a 635CSI on the TV programme Moonlighting in the late 80's what a Gorgeous car, i would like to own one of these one day, Black would be my perfect colour or Zinnobar red.

I have a 1985 M635csi.

Usually the M635csi doesn't even deliver its promised 286 horses. Mine comes up with 272hp after 190000km and 25 years. But it still does >260kph on the speedo with ease. It's a dream to drive, really

P.S. US models only delvered ±260hp due to catalyser.

[Vmaxjorge]

it isn't the stock one. normaly it should have 286PS. Great car, I am in love with it

[troqdog]

Thats a lot of power in a old 3,5 L engine!! I've got the 3.0CSi but not that good as this one!

[chippybmw]

Check the earlier posts. I screwed up on the typing. The dyno sheet shows 251 @ the rear wheels not 351. Would be nice though & this car drove very nicely.

i got a boner.....

i thought my 6 series sounded wicked, which it does....

I dont trust them single roller dynos. Keep waiting for them to jump off! : O

[chippybmw]

I would hate to be around if someone hit the brakes. But that would be a great video.

[HullabalooSpatula]

@chippybmw - as far as I know they never come off. The power isn't actually straining the straps a lot as the wheels are spinning the roller and the roller moves eaisly.

Some of those double roller kind are slightly worse in terms of risk as they have a mechanical friction function to similate load and allow calibration. A failure in the friction device could slow down the rollers enough to start pushing the car off the rollers.

Hmmm there is something Wrong. 351hp at the wheels ??? That is impossible from M88/3. Stock Euro car is 286hp at the crank so 351hp at the wheels no way. Give us some more information about any mods ?

[gruvens]

You just made the coolest sound in the whole wide world with that car right thur!

[ErayCelik1992]

i love this car

[robertas525]

sick rims and very very clean car though, good work mate :)

[gunit9393]

this is the coolest bmw ever

[jogga123]

People often get the aftermarket wheel look totally wrong,but you nailed it.

[99e39540is]

Sweet car!

[ShepsM3]

Nice video, but rarely can you get an M635CSi to make the standard 286bhp let alone the 351bhp thats claimed here. Fair play if its true and the dyno is right!

[chippybmw]

Sorry guys, that is a typo in the video. The chart I posted shows 251hp at the rear wheels. I should have checked my typing more clearly before posting. 351hp would have been awesome though.

[ShepsM3]

Ah, thats more like it. And thats about what you would expect from a RWD car with around the 290bhp mark at the flywheel.

Lovely car ;)

[geilebertje]

@ShepsM3 Isn't the 286bhp measured at the crankshaft? Then 251HP at the rear wheels is very nice, only a loss of 12%...

BHP = Brake Horse Power, measured before the loss in power caused by the gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump, muffled exhaust system, etc. (check wiki)

[AxelStraf]

this is my favourite BMW of ever! P.S:great looking alloys!

[Philoniousmonk]

Car is only 286 bhp stock. How did you hit 351 hp. Has anything been done to the car?

[otmlb1128]

nice video! and good numbers for such an old car! my dad had a Euro spec M6 and sold it cause there were major engine problems and there was nowhere that would service it unless he shipped it off.
